Opening back in mid-May, Guess House is a location in Bradford with some rather unusual features. The site currently features two 45-minute games, but notably they are designed to be played by teams of one to four. People have sometimes asked about the possibility of playing exit games solo and there is at least one recorded case of a single player cracking a game designed to be solved by a much larger group. There’s a game in Paris designed to cater for teams of one or two, as well. However, this may well be the first facility in the UK that welcomes solo players as well as larger groups.
There’s not much to go on by way of descriptions of the two rooms, the Globetrotter‘s room and Granddad Ed‘s room, but the photos look charming. A third room is promised soon; upon the site’s opening, it had a third room, the sixty-minute Family room, but sadly that has had to go back into the box for now; Exit Games UK looks forward to seeing what comes in its place. (The site is taking a break altogether from 28th July to 10th August – perhaps to install a third room, perhaps not.)
The site opens every day of the week, being open during late afternoons and early evenings on weekdays and longer hours still at weekends. The prices are very reasonable, with single-player games just £12 and games for parties of four as low as £35. It’s also possible to play the game in Polish, as well as English.
Small but perfectly formed? Guess there’s only one way to find out!
