Escape Room Rumours – 28 November 2016

news-spiral

Happy Monday and welcome to your (approximately) weekly dose of UK and Irish escape game rumours. This site is always on the look out for new games or venues that are opening, references in the media or anything else that might be of interest to the readers, so please do send an email if you spot anything of interest. That applies to owner too – feel free to send me your news for inclusion here. Don’t be shy!

On to the news

Another quiet week – and things will probably get even quieter in the next few weeks as Christmas approaches.

  • National
    • Don’t forget that Liz Cable of Time Games is running the Escape Game Unconference in January. Just 6 tickets left – so if you want to attend, probably time to book those tickets!
  • South West England:
    • Those of you who read last week’s article on Yorkshire and the Humber may remember a reference to a string of escape rooms opening with “Trapped” in their name. Well, add one more to that list as Trapped Escape Rooms, based in Gloucester, popped on to my radar last week. Two games in their line up – The Haunted Hotel and Prison Break – both expected to open in February of 2017.
    • Cornwall’s Great Escape Rooms opened The Elf Quest, a temporary Christmas themed room.
  • Scotland:
    • After a very long time with just a single room, Clue HQ Glasgow opened their second room last week – Cell Block C.
  • London:
    • Time Run opened their long awaited sequel, Celestial Chain. Previews were running for a week before the official opening date and it’s already fairly booked up into the new year.
    • Sherlock Unlock closed their doors after almost a year in operation taking with them their three rooms: Chaos, Outbreak and Mutiny.
  • East of England:
    • Room Escape Southend closed Asylum. That game closing isn’t sad though because it means it’s time for their Santa game to appear.
  • South East England:
    • TimeQuest are about to open The Quest to Save Camelot, their third room.
  • West Midlands:
  • North West England:
    • Lucardo are about to open their fifth room, The Dream, based around a lottery win.

That’s all folks

That’s all I’m aware of. If any of the above is incorrect or if you’re aware of other news, discounts or competitions, then let me know via email or in the comments below and I’ll include updates in the next edition.

Thanks for reading!

  1. Hello,

    Hope all is well with you? I am just wondering is there any news on any new venues in Ireland at the moment, seems to have been quite on the new venue front since we opened Bolt Escape Games Dublin in August.

    Thanks,
    Paul
