FAQs
Escape ArcadeĀ® 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 Ā®, you can never tell whatās 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 ArcadeĀ® are easy to learn but difficult to master. You choose how your experience unfolds and become the hero of your own story.
Escape ArcadeĀ® is designed to be played in teams of 2-4. We can host a maximum of 16 players every time slot, with time slots every 15 minutes. Escape ArcadeĀ® has specifically been designed in such a way whereby weāre able to support 100s of players throughout the day. This experience is ideal for large corporate events or birthday parties
Yes! Weāve often been asked about solo play in our experiences, and have implemented it wherever possible in Escape ArcadeĀ®.
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 ArcadeĀ®. If you choose to return for a second session at Escape Arcade Ā®, youāll 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 ArcadeĀ® 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 youāre not sure what you want to try, just ask!

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.
