Escape Glasgow

Escape is a fun, challenging game in Glasgow City Centre. Designed for groups of 2 - 5 or 6. With 4 rooms in operation we can accommodate teams of up to 22.

Do you have what it takes to Escape?

We went with another family and did the Wizard challenge where you make up two teams, go in identical rooms and see who can get out first. Staff welcoming and attentive, escape room was fun, with just the right amount of help when needed. Great experience.

Last week we visited Witch House and yesterday we ghostbusted in Ghost Hunters! Both rooms were absolutely fantastic! Most rooms I have done have been in Orlando with a regular team so I've been anxious about finding rooms in Scotland that match some of the set design and immersion there and introducing new friends to the world of escapes while we figure out our strengths. Locked In Glasgow did not disappoint! Multi-rooms with tech as well as locks made this enthusiast very happy indeed and created some new ER addicts! Witch Hunt was well suited for the 2 of us with plenty of different puzzles to solve. It's linear and non-linear mixed and i'd recommend it to both enthusiasts and beginners. A shout out to Jamie our GM. Escape Rooms can be so let down by the wrong games master but Jamie was fantastic and was always quickly on hand if we needed him (after we lost a pen down a dresser just before we needed it... oops!). Definitely Recommend! Ghost Hunters was a nostalgic nod to the 80s and Ghostbusters! The puzzles made sense to the story and though it took us a while to start and there being so much in the room we found our footing eventually. Though we didn't ask for hints, Calvin our GM always seemed to know when we needed a little nudge in the right direction and even those were in the theme of the room which I loved! There were some really fun puzzles and tech in this room and though there are locks you will definitely find less in here than in Witch House. It was for sure a test for our new team with less than 30 seconds left on the clock! No spoilers but the last few minutes were tense but adrenaline filled and super fun! Thanks to both Calvin and Jamie! We can't wait to try The Surgery next and the School of Magic sometime in the future.

Booked a half hour slot for my dad's birthday and as 5 adults we all had a brilliant time! We got stuck in horrific traffic and was running late for our time but Becki and Ryan were super lovely and accommodated us straight away. Four of us had a great time exploring the experiences in the pods while my brother had a go on the motor bike and the racing experience. Thank you both for a brilliant experience and we will definitely be back!

Axe Hurling

Indoor urban axe throwing has come to Glasgow. What is urban axe throwing? Axe throwing is the new craze sweeping America and Europe by storm. You really will be hurling axes at a bullseye a few meters away!

It's the 2nd time we go and both times we had a lot of fun. Definitely recommended! The guys who run it are really nice too. I'll be suggesting it as a team bonding activity at work just to have an excuse to go back! ????

What an experience! The live actors really added an extra layer to the room, making it super immersive! Puzzles were challenging and led to some great highs when you figured them out! Not absolutely terrifying, which was a good thing! A perfect mix of spooky fun while still being able to enjoy the escape aspect! Would highly recommend!
