Take The Exit Escape Room Hull

What it’s like

Four themed rooms to crack in an hour, from a creepy doll's house to an Egyptian tomb, with a real 60-minute clock running.

You get 60 minutes locked into a room with your team, hunting for codes and hidden mechanisms before the clock runs out. There are four themes to pick from: rescue the Golden Ticket from the Ringmaster in Carnival Chaos, finish Howard Carter's work in Trials of Osiris, poke round an abandoned chapel, or track down a missing doll in a genuinely unsettling collector's house. Carnival Chaos and Trials of Osiris actually lock the door with a magnet (there's always an emergency button), while the other two rooms leave you free to walk out if it all gets too much, which is worth knowing if anyone in your group doesn't love small enclosed spaces.

This is one for kids who can actually reason through a puzzle rather than just enjoy being in a room, so it suits eights and up, with under-16s needing a paying adult in the team. Teams run from two up to six or seven depending on the room, and staff keep an eye on things throughout with hints on offer if you get stuck, so nobody's abandoned to fail in silence.

Budget around 75 minutes all in: a short briefing, the 60 minutes of actual puzzling, and a debrief afterwards where they tell you how you did. Booking online is the sensible move, since walk-ups depend on what's free and staff would rather you called ahead. Turn up on time too, because arriving late on a busy day means they'll dock your room time rather than push the whole schedule back, which feels harsh but makes sense once you think about the next group waiting.

There are only two toilets on site for however many groups happen to arrive at once. Parking is metered on Silver Street right outside, or there's a multi-storey nearby with decent weekend rates if you'd rather not feed a meter mid-puzzle.
