A COMIC-BOOK-THEMED OUTDOOR ESCAPE GAME IN BRIGHTON
SUPERHEROES UNITE ONCE AGAIN!
Introducing Puzzle Panic, a thrilling outdoor adventure across Brighton, where the cunning comic book villain Dr Riddlesworth has returned, more dangerous than ever.
You stopped his colour-stealing machine… BUT...
Now, he is back with a vengeance, Dr Riddlesworth has captured Brighton’s local superheroes, locking them away in a twisted web of puzzles scattered across the city.
His challenge is clear: solve his riddles, outsmart his traps, and prove you’re clever enough to undo his chaos.
Explore the Lanes and seafront, working across two or more mobile devices to crack clues, uncover secrets, and free the heroes before it’s too late.
With a built-in hint system and the freedom to play at any time, Puzzle Panic is a flexible, comic-inspired experience perfect for couples, friends, families, and teams looking for a unique outdoor escape room in Brighton.

PUZZLE PANIC FAQ
The game starts at the entrance to the Palace Pier. This will be in your game email along with your code that you will receive after you purchase your game.
You will need to walk to different locations to solve different puzzles. The total walking distance is around 2 miles but this also depends on how much walking you do in between puzzles. If you need a rest, you can pause the game at any point.
You can play Puzzle Panic at any time on any day that you choose, as it is not restricted to a physical location. We don't recommend playing it at night, however, as you will need to be able to see things clearly and it's generally a lot safer to play during the day.
You can technically play Puzzle Panic on one device, although there are parts that may be easier with more than one device. Players can login with the original game code and email to join. We would also recommend you have another device or battery pack in case your device runs out of battery!
Yes! The game can be paused at any point. And there are plenty of places in the center that are great for grabbing those much needed refreshments.
The game is best played with 2-6 players. The game is entirely child friendly!
Nope! You can pause the game and pick up on another day entirely.
Not exactly. It's an outdoor puzzle game that includes some escape room style puzzles but more importantly most of the solving is on your device and some clues are in the real world. In fact, it's a great way to introduce someone to escape rooms if they have never tried one.
