Fantastic!
We had a really fun time doing the 1977 breaking the law escape room. I’m an escape room fan and there were still elements that I had never done before, which is always exciting. Agent Sophie was great and my favourite thing was that she took time at the end to talk us through the room. Thank you Sophie!

Must try this!
We played Breaking The Law and it was fantastic! The kids found it enjoyable and both contributed to the tasks. Completed in 55 minutes and everyone had a great time!

We will definitely be back
This was my first experience in a escape room (physically at least) and it was a fantastic time! The room we went to (breaking the law) was a really interesting well thought out escape room.

All missions can be played by two players. Some rooms allow up to six players, while others can host up to seven depending on the game.
02 Can two players play an escape room?
Yes. All of our missions can be played by two players, although some challenges may feel easier with larger teams.
03 Do we need knowledge of the decade or theme to play the game?
Not at all. Everything you need to solve the mission is inside the room. A love for the era may make the experience even more fun, but no prior knowledge is required.
04 How long does the escape room experience last?
Each mission lasts 60 minutes. Including briefing and debriefing, most visits take around 75–90 minutes.
05 Will we receive hints during the game?
Yes. Your Game Master monitors the mission and can provide hints to keep your team moving if needed.

Most of our missions focus on adventure and puzzles rather than scares. The Voices We Hear is the only horror-themed experience and is strictly 16+.

Most puzzles focus on observation and problem-solving. Some missions include light physical interaction such as crouching or searching the space.
