Successfully escaped from the serial killer room. Good room where the plot was followed through throughout. Good variety of challenges.

We went in on a date (our first escape room experience) and it was INCREDIBLE!! Holly was so accommodating and made the experience come to life telling us the back back story and giving us clues when we needed it!! Will definitely be doing the other rooms- antidote has given us the bug 🐛
Thank you again Holly you were great! ❤️

Had a really good time doing the 'escape the noose' room. It was our first time and we didn't know what to expect but as soon as we entered the front door we were looked after by Peter. It was a lot of fun and Peter was very helpful throughout. A very enjoyable time and an oh so quick hour.

We did escape the noose, it was very fun and would highly recommend. We had Cas as our host and she was amazing at explaining it and making it a good experience. Definitely will return to do one of the other rooms!

What a fantastic evening activity! We booked last minute and had a brilliant time in the serial killer-themed room. Katie and Georgia were fantastic hosts - we'll definitely book to come back!

Fantastic escape rooms.
I’ve done two of them now with the same person hosting them (thank you, Georgia) and they’ve both been such memorable experiences.
The theme for each room is well integrated into the backdrop and is coherent with the running narrative. I also love the group pictures they always take at the end and upload to social media that was can look back and reflect on. Truly makes the experience much better.
Before the room even starts - if you arrive early - they provide you with fun puzzles to work out which often just require one simple trick to figure out but will you leave you stumped for ages. Figuring it out or learning it the secret is so satisfying at the end.

I love coming to Lancaster escape rooms. I have been four times and each time it's been a wonderful experience. The staff are lovely (I'd like to apologise to four-star Holly, this five stars is for you and long overdue) and every time it's a hilarious experience. It's definitely worth the trip!

BRILLIANT escape room! Booked this for a hen party, we split into two groups and "raced" each other out of the rooms. Pete could not have been more helpful with email communications when booking to make some accommodations for disabilities within our group, and on the day Delta and Katie were absolutely fantastic and running the rooms for us. 10/10 experience!

Four friends had a great time solving Break In . It was great to have a very different start to a usual escape room experience, as it really set the scene. The puzzles were appropriately challenging but achievable with a bit of thought and the odd steer from host Pete over the walkie talkie. Looking forward to trying out a Quest Walk next.

Hi i am interested in doing the cutting room. One of my children wants to do the scary version but my other does not. I was wondering how scary is the cutting room?

Good afternoon :) Thanks for getting in touch. It certainly is atmospheric (pitch black and creepy sounds etc) however there are no live actors or over the top scare jumps. It is more the atmosphere. Also every members gets a torch so you can see at all times. Hope this helps, and for any more information please feel free to ring us on 01524 382029. Cheers. Pete

We have a 7 year old, is it suitable to do as a family of two adults and our little boy? If so which room would you recommend? Thanks, Ally

Hi Ally, I would echo Abby's sentiments, the fair is the most appropriate and we have had children as young as 5 play and actively enjoy the experience. Some of the puzzles are more physical and straight forward and children often over-shadow their parents. Hope this helps. Pete.
