The Escapologist at Metrocentre Gateshead is an immersive escape room venue packed with a variety of ever-evolving themed rooms. Choose from adventures like The Infected, The Vault, The Big Top (a missing clown mystery), Temple Raider: An Elemental Quest, Incredible Creatures & How to Feed Them!, Wonderland Lost in Time!, Chaos in the Cosmos, and SIN. Many of these rooms are designed with families and children in mind, making it a fantastic indoor activity for kids and parents alike.
Beyond the escape rooms, the venue offers cutting-edge Interactive Darts with instant scoring and immersive visuals. When it's time to unwind, head to The Escapologist Bar & Café for signature cocktails, mocktails, milkshakes, beers, spirits, wines, and warming hot drinks in a quirky Victorian-inspired atmosphere.
Located on the ground floor of the Metrocentre (opposite Clip 'n Climb and Popeyes), it's an ideal rainy-day destination for families exploring Gateshead and the North East.
