This is one of our regular escape games that has been adapted for the Christmas season.
Available for a limited time only (29th Nov to 6th Jan) don't miss out on the festive fun!
You and your team of helpers receive a mysterious, aged letter from a child named Lily. The letter, scrawled in wobbly handwriting, pleads for help, saying, “Dear Santa, this Christmas… I want to be free. It’s getting colder now and the darkness keeps coming closer. Please help me [etc]” It’s signed, “From Lily.”
As this is quite concerning, you trace the letter to a dilapidated building, once a cheerful place of holiday spirit but now silent, its walls whispering of forgotten songs and laughter. As you step inside, a chill settles over you. The door slams shut, and a strange enchantment takes hold. An ancient, mocking voice echoes through the halls: “Welcome, my dear guests. It’s time for my Christmas curse to come to life!”
You’ve become trapped in the spell of a witch who once haunted this place. Long ago, the children discovered her true identity, and she placed a curse on the building that traps anyone who dares enter on Christmas Eve.
Welcome to the adrenaline-pumping world of “Run,” from the Great Escape, an escape room experience that will test your speed, agility, and problem-solving skills like never before. Get ready to embark on a thrilling race against the clock, where every second counts and your ability to think on your feet is paramount.
Please note that whilst this game has no live actors, there may still be spooky elements that might make you jump!
To escape, you must uncover the witch’s hidden relics and unlock her spell by solving puzzles, some of which evoke Christmas traditions. These items represent the joy she despises and the magic she fears. Work together to break the curse before midnight or be imprisoned within the building forever.
Will you be able to outsmart the challenges, overcome the obstacles, and emerge victorious? It’s time to lace up your shoes, brace yourself for the ultimate test of speed and wit, and prove that you have what it takes to outrun the ticking timer.

The wind does not whisper, it howls. Cascades of rain threaten to drown the world over night. Your only focus is to escape the storm.
You find a derelict building. A sanctuary that sways in the gale. Exhausted, you fling the door open, clamber inside and a gust of wind slams the door shut behind you.
Grateful to be out of the ever widening skies, you are told about an old tale used to keep children from wrong doings.
“Deep in the outskirts of Sheffield sits a dark forest, deep in the forest lies a dilapidated child’s home. Locals claim that many moons ago it’s Headmaster used to pay for his own immortality with the souls of the children. This was until the longest and darkest storm ever recorded struck; lasting over 12 hours and finishing at exactly midnight. Locals claimed, that evening, they could hear children’s screams whirl in the winds, that they had been visited by the children in their nightmares. And that their souls were bound to hell and that they would be back.”
With that final word, the clock strikes 12:00am and you hear the front door bolt behind you. The witching hour has began.
It’s just a story, it’s just a story, a fictitious story, a mere tale used to keep children from wrong doings. Nothing to be afraid of. You told yourself.
PLEASE NOTE: This game requires one person to crawl. This game does not involve any running.
Please note that whilst this game has no live actors, there may still be spooky elements that might make you jump!
