A CHRISTMAS PARTY WITH A TWIST

Looking for a Christmas party idea in Brighton that gets everyone involved, not just the people propping up the bar? An escape room puts your team in a hand-built world with 60 minutes on the clock, a story to solve and a dedicated host cheering you on.

It's a brilliant way to kick off a work Christmas do, a festive get-together with friends, or a family day out over the holidays. Every game is fully private, and we're just 5 minutes from Brighton Station, so it's easy to head on to dinner or drinks afterwards.

HOW A CHRISTMAS PARTY WORKS

  1. Tell us your numbers and date

    Get in touch with your group size and preferred date. We'll suggest the best rooms and start times for your team.

  2. Meet your host

    Arrive about 10 minutes early. Your host will brief you, set the scene and get everyone into the spirit.

  3. Escape (or try to)

    60 to 70 minutes of puzzles, teamwork and the occasional festive argument over who found the key.

  4. Team photo and souvenirs

    Grab your team photo and souvenirs, then head on to dinner or drinks. Name a partner restaurant or bar nearby, and any deal you agree with them.

Loads of different style puzzles and games kept us on our toes but also allowed the 5 of us to split up and investigate different parts of the escape room. The host was incredibly engaging and helpful and fun.

Had the BEST time doing lock and rock!! Our host was incredible, so enthusiastic and fun and massively enhanced the experience. The room was so amazingly crafted especially knowing everything is handmade by the owners!!
