FAQs
Escape Arcade® is a widely loved and highly established new immersive experience created by Enigma Quests. 30 doors are offered to Operatives to pick from, each hiding a 5-minute simulation challenge to take on. These challenges vary in nature, ranging from tests of dexterity, agility, lateral thinking, logic and much more. In Escape Arcade ®, you can never tell what’s next!
Each simulation has a detailed setting and is hooked up to an app-based scoring system that will track your performance throughout. Your overall results will be debriefed to you at the end of your hour, and the best results are proudly displayed (with all their glory) on our live leaderboard.
The simulations in Escape Arcade® are easy to learn but difficult to master. You choose how your experience unfolds and become the hero of your own story.
Escape Arcade® is designed to be played in units of 1-4. We can host a maximum of 16 players every time slot, with time slots every 15 minutes. Escape Arcade® has specifically been designed in such a way whereby we’re able to support 100s of players throughout the day. This experience is ideal for large corporate events or birthday parties
Yes! We’ve often been asked about solo play in our experiences, and have implemented it wherever possible in Escape Arcade®. We offer a promotional code in order to play Escape Arcade® solo, however this code is only valid Monday - Friday. You will need to select a unit of 2 on checkout, and then enter the code 'BRAVESOUL' in order to reduce the price to £25 (the price of a singular ticket). Please note that discount codes cannot be applied to bookings retroactively, and if you use the code on a booking for Saturday or Sunday, or for a booking of more than one player, you will be expected to pay the price difference or forfeit your booking.
Each simulation is linked to a unified scoring system. At the starting point of your experience, each unit is equipped with an RFID-enabled wristband. This will enable you to enter whichever simulation you choose. Across the hour, the scores you gather on each simulation will be recorded, and a total result will be counted at the end of your experience and will be discussed with you during your debrief. The best results are displayed on our live leaderboard at the venue.
Our results system allows units to compete with colleagues, friends and family throughout Escape Arcade®. If you choose to return for a second session at Escape Arcade ®, you’ll be able to compare your new (and better) scores against your first time!
Yes! Absolutely! Our bar, Beyond the Web, is located on the ground floor of our venue and is perfect for a pre-experience tipple, or a post-experience debrief with your unit. You can enjoy our signature cocktails and mocktails, themed around some of our favourite Escape Arcade® simulations and our thrilling, narrative driven escape rooms.
Beyond the Web features immersive, themed alcoholic, non-alcoholic and soft drink choices for you to try, and our bar-keeps are excellent in providing bespoke suggestions. If you’re not sure what you want to try, just ask!
If you’d like to arrange a bar tab, there are a few options available. Contact us directly for more information.
We also have a range of classic drinks available, all at reasonable prices. Our signature cocktails can all be ordered in low-alcohol versions, and we stock a selection of traditional low or no-alcohol drinks, alongside soft drinks.
Weekdays: 11am-9pm. The final time slot of the day is 8pm.
Weekends: 10am – 9:30pm. The final time slot is 8:30pm.
All of our experiences are one hour long.

We’ve hosted a huge number of corporate groups for Christmas, team building, parties, and more. Escape Arcade® is a great choice for your corporate group, as it encourages (healthy) competition, and teamwork. In fact, our live leaderboard is on display right next to Beyond the Web!

Likewise, we are also able to offer an exclusive venue hire If you’d like to arrange this, simply get in contact with us directly by emailing bookings@enigmaquests.london and we’d be happy to provide you with a bespoke quote.
We require teams with children aged 11 and under to include an adult (aged 18+) member. Team are of four maximum, so larger groups of children will require multiple adult chaperones to play.
For players aged 12-15 we require an adult to be within the area while they play. We have an onsite bar, Beyond the Web, where you are welcome to wait, but we ask that you remain within 5 to 10 minutes of the venue.
Players 16 and over can play without an adult.
* Please note, these policies do not cover our escape rooms. Please head to our main FAQ page to see further details on age restrictions for our escape rooms.
We are a wheelchair accessible venue, with a lift to the basement where our experiences are. Within the Escape Arcade many games are completely accessible for all players, however, some do have physical requirements. Speak to our team before you begin and they'll be able to give you a list of the rooms that are accessible. We can also let teams know which rooms utilise sound based clues. Please contact us on on bookings@enigmaquests.london or by calling 020 7377 9220 with any questions.
None of Escape Arcade®'s doors are locked. You can exit the room at any time; however, you may need to ask one of the players in your unit to open the door if you would like to re-enter a game that they are currently playing.
If you need to go outside for air at any point, that’s completely fine! Escape Arcade® is based downstairs. You’d simply need to go back upstairs to exit the building. Please be aware that your time will not be paused.
If you have any questions on the day, our hosts are available at all times to assist you.
Absolutely! However, please be aware that there are some simulations which are highly physical.
You can opt out of these simulations and choose to observe; however, please note that some games will require you to wait outside of the room as the floor itself is part of the game. We suggest speaking to a member of our team before you start about the best rooms for your team.
Our hosts are always available if you have any questions or concerns regarding any of our experiences. You are also able to contact our team directly on bookings@enigmaquests.london or by calling 020 7377 9220.
