Testimonials

Such a great experience would definatly be booking again, all the puzzels were so creative and well thought out our host Jonny was a star... loved every minute.

Domonique Evans

Really friendly team. Fun games, we really enjoyed it and so did the 3 kids aged 7-9.

Gareth Jones

We went for my daughter's 11th birthday, me and 4 x 11 year olds, and escaped from the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. We had a blast! I was a bit worried it might be too hard but the puzzles were the right mix of tricky but solvable once we had cracked the logic. Will definitely be back to try another room.

Lucy Davies

A great experience. Did the witchcraft and wizardry room. No need to solve all clues in order which means you can progress through the subjects faster. A good selection of puzzles to solve. The staff were very good at reading the room. Highly recommend.

Natasha Bell-Asher

We had a fantastic time in the submarine escape. This was our second visit and the first was million pound heist. Tom is excellent and we had a fun time. Highly recommended.

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 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 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 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 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®, 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 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 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.

Groups of up to 16 can be booked through our website. We ask larger groups to contact us to organise a package deal.

We’ve hosted a huge number of corporate groups for Christmas, team building, parties, and more. Escape ArcadeĀ® 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!

We have pre-designed Corporate Packages available specifically for corporate events. Look at our Corporate Package page for more information on the packages we offer! Please note, we require a minimum of 30 players to book onto this set of packages.

If these do not quite pique your interest, or if you have less than 30 players, we are able to offer bar tab and area reservation quotes to add onto your booking. 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.

Any players aged 11 and under require an adult (aged 18+) chaperone to always be with them. We require one adult chaperone per team. If you have more than 4 young players, you will require more adult chaperones to attend on the day.

Any players aged 12-15 will require an adult in the vicinity of the area. They are welcome to wait in our bar, Beyond the Web, or within 5-10 minutes' distance from the venue.

No adult chaperone is required for aged 16 and over.

* 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.

A member of our team would be more than happy to escort your unit downstairs into Escape ArcadeĀ® via our elevator if required.

Escape ArcadeĀ® has plenty of accessibility! However, there are some games that would not be suitable for wheelchair players due to the physical requirements of the game.

Our team can offer you a list of all games with accessibility access. This would be helpful for wheelchair players or those in need of audio accessibility. Contact our team directly on bookings@enigmaquests.london or by calling 020 7377 9220. Our hosts are always also available on site for all questions.

None of Escape ArcadeĀ®'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 ArcadeĀ® 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.

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.
