Escape Rooms in York

York does escape rooms properly, and you barely need to leave the centre to find them. Can You Escape sits right in the middle of town, with two scenarios and an hour on the clock. A few minutes out, Houdini's Escape Room Experience has fifteen themed rooms to choose from, and every booking is a private team, so you are not paired up with strangers. Out at Wetherby, Kanyu Escape adds an outdoor puzzle hunt through the Poachers' Compound alongside its themed rooms, priced from £20 depending on group size. For younger children, Can You Escape takes ages five and up, while the other two are better suited to eight and over. All three need booking in advance, so decide on a date before you get everyone excited. Houdini's has free parking and is reachable by public transport, useful if you are coming from outside the city. Kanyu is the one to pick for a birthday, with group bookings, a picnic area and wheelchair access built in, though it does mean the longer trip out to Wetherby.
