November 19, 2021 Matilde Konrad

Birthplace of poet Dylan Thomas, and the second-largest city in Wales, resilient Swansea offers a slew of leafy parks and some impressive cultural centers, including the new National Waterfront Museum and the renowned Dylan Thomas Centre. Rebuilt after WWII, the modern city of 230,000 has a charming outlook over Swansea Bay and the picturesque, unspoiled 16-mile-long Gower Peninsula, home to rich wildlife, prehistoric standing stones, dramatic cliffs and lovely beaches.

Breakout Live Swansea

Breakout Swansea is Wales’s premier escape game. Immersed in teams of 2-6, you have 60 minutes to find the clues, solve the puzzles and (hopefully) Escape!

Reviewed By cmc24601 - Swansea, United Kingdom

Thoroughly enjoyed our experience completing the Mumbles Bunker room. Having been to other escape games previously, it definitely compares well (perhaps better than some others!) and the game itself was great. Not too difficult but enough of a challenge and something for everyone to help out with / complete. Our host was Ash and he did a great job as game-master. Would definitely go back to try some different rooms!

Devastate

Locked in a room for one hour with the clock counting down... can you follow the hints and clues to make it out in time or will you be trapped... forever? (note: we can't actually trap you forever because apparently that's "against the law" so don't worry if you don't make it out in time we'll still open the door for you.... maybe...) Devastate Swansea has a strong horror theme throughout all of our games from our super scary games rated 18+ to our less scary "more creepy" games such as "escape wonderland" There escape games... but not as you've seen them before.

The Escape Game

An escape room is a physical adventure game in which players are locked in a room and have to use elements of the room to solve a series of puzzles and escape within the set time limit. ​ After the initial briefing covering the general rules, a game master will show you to your room. Your group will enter and get acclimatised before the game master leaves you. Once the door is closed, a video introduction will play, introducing the room’s theme, storyline and giving you instructions on how to get started. ​ Your group will then begins exploring the room, looking for clues and solving puzzles and challenges to ultimately find the code to escape the room within the set time limit. You can ask for clues if you get stuck during the game and these will be displayed on the countdown monitor in the room.

My son had his birthday party at Teamforce today. We played 4 games of laser tag and the kids absolutely loved it. The staff were friendly and patient with a wild group of 8 year olds! Thank you Teamforce for a great party!
