The Escapement is an escape room attraction on Northdown Road in Cliftonville, Margate. It offers three themed rooms, each built as a cinematic set with live theatre elements, sound and lighting, and each designed for a group of two to six players. The rooms are pirate, Egyptian and mine-based adventures, and families with older children are a clear audience, with the venue describing its adventures as family-friendly. Players work together through puzzles, riddles and hidden clues, with game masters watching over each session and able to step in. The venue suits a rainy-day outing or a seaside visit, and it is a good option for a group of relatives or friends who want a shared challenge. Booking ahead is recommended, and the missions involve small spaces, crawling, flashing lights and smoke effects, so younger or sensitive children may want to ask about the experience first.
