Each game is designed to challenge your inner detective. Our Castle theme is designed for the whole family with a very practical element to it. Select your knights and battle your way to freedom. Velocity is our out of this world spaceship and again it is a family room for all ages to enjoy. Pit your minds against the High Tech capsule and see if you can take off! Oh and by the way - The Tardis has nothing on this room.

Great fun - we escaped Castle Alba! Really impressed with the attention to detail and the variety of challenges. Easy to over-complicate things and miss clues literally under your nose but David was very helpful in getting us back on track. Highly recommended!

Stirling Castle

Dominating the skyline for miles around, Stirling Castle is a shining example of Renaissance architecture. Visitors can look out from its high stone walls to the battlefields of Stirling Bridge where great medieval armies clashed to decide the fate of nations. Home to generations of Scottish monarchs including, Mary Queen of Scots, the Castle is an enduring and powerful reminder of our fascinating history.

National Wallace Monument

A national hero - a national landmark. For 150 years The National Wallace Monument has been standing proudly on The Abbey Craig, outside the historic city of Stirling, and telling the thrilling story of Sir William Wallace, Patriot, Martyr, and Guardian of Scotland.

Reviewed By MiaCD - Fareham, United Kingdom

The climb up to the top of the Monument is well worth the climb and the viewing of the artifacts within are breath taking, the gift shop is reasonably priced as well, we will be back to climb those stairs again!
