Escape games last up to an hour depending on if you are successful in escaping. If you do escape in time, you will go down in history on our wall of fame. We advise that you arrive 20 minutes early to be briefed on your game, have a chance to play our arcade games and order any food and drinks.
The short answer – Yes and No
The long answer – Not all escape games are created the same and our games masters have worked hard to create each escape room to follow unique fantasies. From Magical to Horror, you’ll find scary and non-scary games. Take a look at our fun and thrilling games.
The only thing you need to bring is your thinking-caps! We would recommend you avoid wearing heels and also don’t forget your glasses for reading the locks!

Escape rooms blur the lines between the hum-drum of everyday life and the world of video games and movies! You and your friends, family or work colleagues are locked in a room with up to an hour to escape. As a team, you will have to search as you ferret around trying to solve a series of intricate puzzles. Test your common sense, logic, problem solving and friendship as the clock ticks down. Can you escape?
We went to Sheffield great escapes centre as a birthday treat for one of the family. The game we chose was one where you had to get out of a submarine. It was a team game and you were up against the clock of a rival team. If you are competitive in nature then you will love this! It’s not easy and some of the clues are tough. If you get completely stuck then you can buzz for help or an easier clue. The staff there are very nice and we had Lucy arrange everything. She was fantastic. Highly recommended!
Me and a few friends played the Abducted (18+) escape room at the Gen 2 site in Sheffield. The staff were very welcoming and when our game was delayed for a little while, Lee came over and invited us to play Rock, Paper Scissors for shots (if we lost, we had to do a Christmas jig). The game was scary and challenging but with the help of a few clues, we managed to escape with 10 mins to go! Katherine was there to celebrate with us when we got out and Ellis was behind the bar to congratulate us too. The escape room was fab but the members of staff really made it a great Christmas party outing! Thanks, guys!
I was given a choice of rooms to play for a 50th birthday present, I chose the scariest and hardest one to play, right from being let in the doors my whole party of friends and I were warmly welcomed, table service was offered, we were asked if everything was OK and if we needed anything, Lee was our Games Master, he signed me and my husband in as we hadn't played before and we placed our stuff in a secure locker, the game was just what I wanted, scary, creepy, clever tricks and traps, puzzles were brain teasing and we just managed to complete it. We had some beautifully cooked pizzas, cocktails were excellent and ice cream sundaes for dessert.. am definitely going back to play more, would recommend this so much, as experiences go, it was just incredible, thank you to all the team, you've made some awesome memories for this lady.
Today I played my first escape game of Devil’s Playground because the video on the website looked spooky but fun. It was quite difficult and scary with some jumps along the way but it was still a really good time. The lobby area is really good too with Mario-Kart and cards against humanity to play after the game. Great day out.
I wanted to do something completely unusual for my birthday and everyone loved it! We hired out the private function room and everything was sorted and arranged within a single phone call! A stress-free and easy process to having the best birthday ever!
