Christmas Chaos

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, with plenty of crimbo loveliness and cheer, but Santa has given our team a top-secret task….ho ho ho!

Santa’s schedule has been hectic, Santa’s Elf’s are all busy on Christmas tasks double checking the naughty and nice lists, so Santa needs a spare moment to feed Rudolph and the rest of the super sleigh team.

Santa needed us to deliver presents to the last house on the street…but the house security system shut down and locked us inside – oh dear! We had 60 minutes to escape so we could get back to our Christmas Day plans.  We escaped and it was jingle all the way

Now, our team successfully delivered Santa’s sack of pressies we needed to ensure that they kept under the children’s Christmas tree, as Ebeneezer Scrooge has decided to cause havoc with Christmas.

Breakout Manchester Escape Rooms Experience: Detectives vs Zombies #Gifted

Manchester city centre, Church Street located in the busy eclectic Northern Quarter, is the destination of Breakout Manchester who offer an exciting Escape room Experience.

While we waited for our games master, our team prepared strategy and game plans to ensure a smooth and speedy breakout.

The Detective Agency

Benjy our lovely Games Master explained that Harry Dene, the world’s greatest detective, and our closest friend has got himself into a pickle to say the least. 

Spending most of his time dedicated to a specific case, but the dedication has led Harry to madness and now he has gone one step too far by taking the law into his own hands in order to solve the greatest case of his career.

Hello, hello, hello…what’s going on here, then? As his closest friends, my team turned up at Harry’s office to try and help. However, things had already escalated and gotten much worse, so with Harry nowhere in sight it was up to us to solve the case to help Harry. 

Word of warning Harry has certainly used his detective skills and is extremely good at hiding his secrets, so get your thinking caps on!

Analyse the evidence, uncover the truth and crack the case, good luck detectives. We nearly broke out, missing out by literally seconds – hence hiding behind our boards in shame on the photo line up lol, but the real question is can your team crack the case!?

Now, you have all those new found detective skills, you can use these to defeat the zombies and save planet earth in the Zombie Lab Escape Game.

Escape Reality Manchester Ritual Escape Game Review 1a_edited

My friends and I decided to take a well-earned trip to a remote village in Europe.  During a pub pitstop we overheard some of the locals saying that they have seen strange happenings from the forest.

Late night flickering lights and strange chanting from the forest seems to be causing a stir.  Not scared of adventure, we decided to delve further…

…but was that the right thing for us to do, as we are locked deep within the cabin we located.  Looking through the windows petrified figures in black hoods, that belong to a strange demon revival cult, need our sacrifice to achieve their demonic goal.
