Escape Room FAQs – Eastbourne

Q: What types of puzzles can we expect?

Our escape rooms contain a variety of challenges designed to test your observation, logic, creativity and teamwork. You might need to find hidden objects, unlock padlocks, decipher codes, solve riddles or work out how different clues connect. Every room is different, and we wouldn't want to spoil the surprises!

Q: Are your escape rooms suitable for beginners?

Absolutely! You don't need any previous escape room experience to enjoy our games. Our friendly Game Masters explain everything before you begin and are available to provide hints if needed. For a particularly beginner-friendly experience, why not try Cube World ?

Q: What happens if we get stuck?

Don't worry! Our Game Masters are there to help. If you find yourselves struggling with a puzzle, you can request a hint to point you in the right direction. We want you to enjoy the challenge without becoming frustrated.

Q: Do we have to solve the puzzles in a particular order?

That depends on the room. Some puzzles must be completed in a specific sequence, while others allow you to work on several challenges simultaneously. Keep your eyes open, communicate with your teammates and remember that everything could be a clue!

Q: What happens if we don't escape in time?

Don't worry, we won't keep you locked in forever! If your 60 minutes run out before you've completed the mission, your Game Master will end the experience and can explain any remaining puzzles. The important thing is that you've had fun!

Q: Are your escape rooms scary?

Our escape rooms focus on mystery, suspense and adventure rather than extreme horror. Some rooms have spooky themes, atmospheric sounds and darker environments, but they're designed to be entertaining rather than terrifying. If you're unsure which room is suitable for your group, contact us before booking.

Q: Is it completely dark inside the rooms?

No. Some rooms use dim lighting to create atmosphere, but you won't be expected to play in complete darkness. Certain experiences may include flashing lights, UV lighting or loud sound effects. Please contact us before booking if you have any concerns.

Q: Can I leave the room during the game?

Can I leave the room during the game? Yes, absolutely! Although the experience is designed to feel immersive, you are never physically trapped. You can leave the room at any time if you feel uncomfortable or need a break.

Q: Will we be playing with strangers?

No! All our escape rooms are private experiences. When you book a room, it's reserved exclusively for your group. You won't be mixed with other customers.
