What it’s like
Sixty minutes locked in a themed room together, solving clues to beat the clock before you escape.
You go in as a team, get a quick briefing, then have sixty minutes to solve the puzzles and find your way out. There's a Vegas-themed Casino Escapade with a working slot machine, a Prison Breakout, and Xtraction, which has a dentist theme and, fair warning, a loud jump scare with fake blood that will rattle younger or more sensitive players. Casino Escapade and Prison Breakout are pitched as suitable for all ages above the minimum, so if you've got a nervous nine-year-old, steer them there instead.
Whichever room you pick, allow 75 to 80 minutes all in once you count the briefing and the debrief afterwards. A games master watches on CCTV throughout and there's an emergency button that opens the door instantly, so nobody's actually locked in no matter what the theme suggests.
The pricing rewards a bigger group. Two players pay £28 each, which stings a bit for a date night, but get six of you together and it drops to £23 a head, and eight brings it to £21.50. Booking needs a £50 non-refundable deposit per room to hold your slot, and they only take card, no cash, so don't turn up planning to pay in coins.
It's a multi-storey building with stairs between floors, up to 16 steps at a time, which is worth knowing if anyone in your group has reduced mobility. They do say to call ahead if you need assistance, and there are options for colour blindness and hearing difficulties too. Minimum age is 8, and it's a ten-minute walk from Norwich city centre or the train station if you're coming in without a car.

Plan your visit
How much does it cost?
It scales with group size. Two players is £28 each, dropping to £24.75 for four, £23 for six, and £21.50 for eight. Extra players added on the day cost £23 each.
Do we need to book?
Yes, and you need a £50 non-refundable deposit per room to hold your timeslot. They take card payments only, no cash.
What are the opening hours?
Wednesday to Saturday it's open 12pm to 10pm, and Sunday 12pm to 8pm.
How long does it actually take?
The game itself is 60 minutes, but with the briefing beforehand and the debrief and photos after, allow 75 to 80 minutes total.
Is it suitable for children?
The minimum age is 8. Casino Escapade and Prison Breakout are billed as suitable for all ages above that, but Xtraction has a jump scare and fake blood that could be too much for younger or sensitive kids.
What if someone gets scared or needs to leave?
There's an emergency button that overrides the locks and opens the door straight away, so you can step out any time. The games master is also watching the whole thing on CCTV and can help.
Is there access for reduced mobility?
There are stairs between floors, up to two flights of 16 steps depending on which room you book. It's worth calling ahead so they can plan assistance.
Do you do parties or group bookings?
Yes, up to the maximum capacity for each room. Bigger groups need more than one room because of fire safety and insurance limits, so it is best to contact them directly for large bookings.
