SOUVENIRS
Leave your escape room with a game specific time card and a souvenir.
Escape rooms are one of the most exciting group activities you can try — fast-paced, immersive, and built around teamwork and problem-solving. Whether you're planning a corporate event, celebrating a birthday, or organising a night out with friends, our games are designed to bring people together in a unique and memorable way.
Whatever the occasion, our escape rooms turn it into something special — fun, immersive, and guaranteed to get everyone talking long after the experience ends.
Escape rooms are immersive, real-life adventure games where you and your team are “locked” in a themed room and must work together to solve puzzles, find clues, and complete challenges.
Whether you're stopping an evil comic book villain, solving a mystery in a rock club, or stopping a lift disaster, every room tells a unique story that pulls you right into the action.
If you're new to escape rooms, don’t worry — no prior experience is needed. Each game is designed to be exciting, accessible, and rewarding for both beginners and seasoned puzzlers. It’s a brilliant way to challenge your brain, work together, and do something genuinely different in Brighton.
