Questions parents ask
- Is this suitable for children, and what age should they be?
- All three rooms are designed to be family friendly with no jump scares. The Bank Diamond Heist (difficulty 2/5) is a good starting point for those without previous experience, while the Pirate Ship and Vampire rooms (both difficulty 4/5) offer more challenge. The venue recommends calling to discuss suitability for specific ages.
- How long does an escape room take, and what happens if we get stuck?
- You have one hour to complete your mission. You aren't locked in the room, and the team can guide you if you get stuck, so you won't be left completely baffled.
- Is there anywhere to eat, or can we bring food?
- The venue doesn't provide food or drink onsite, but Café Ambio is just 150 yards away from the car park. There is no confirmed picnic area.
- Can we turn up on the day, or do we need to book in advance?
- The page emphasizes making a booking and provides links to book each room, suggesting advance booking is required. Contact the venue directly to confirm availability.
- What if someone in the group is in a wheelchair or has mobility issues?
- The Bank and Vampire rooms are suitable for wheelchair users, though a non-wheelchair user will need to help with some puzzles. The Pirate Ship is more difficult to access. All rooms have a chair for those unable to stand, and ramps are available for the step into the building.
