Live escape room game based in the centre of Huddersfield! You are locked in a room and have an hour to solve a series of puzzles to escape in time!
Reviewed By AdamWink1871
A brilliant escape room. The games leader was very funny and witty and set the scene perfectly. He explained to us how things would go. The escape room itself was brilliantly decorated and fully immersive. The tasks were difficult but fun and involved the whole team helping out. The clue system was great as there were screens which he typed clues up on to. Can’t wait to come back and try the other room!

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 473 reviews
A unique spot in the heart of the Pennine countryside, Standedge Tunnel is the longest canal tunnel in Britain and makes a perfect family day out. As one of the Seven Wonders of the Waterways visitors can explore deep into the tunnel on one of the family friendly guided boat trips, stop for a bite to eat in the cafe and let the kids jump, climb and explore around our playground and wildlife garden.

As a Yorkshire girl I hate to confess that, until last week, I had never heard of Standedge Tunnel. We had an interesting time in the visitor centre at the Marsden end learning more about the genius, Thomas Telford. After a short ride by boat into the tunnel we took the car over to the western end of the tunnel where we had a lovely walk along the canal, past many locks, to look at the other entrance.

Reviewed By StuartBtravel - Leeds, United Kingdom
My friend and I visited here on a Friday evening for a catch up. It’s tucked away int the building opposite Huddersfield Police Station and I didn’t even know it was there prior to going. It’s a nice, relaxed atmosphere with plenty of comfy sofa style lounge beds to sit/lay on and relax. There’s your standard tables and booths also. We had a pizza each and they were amazing! Really crispy and delicious. It’s very studenty, however there were a variety of people of different ages in there relaxing. Price wise it’s not the cheapest admittedly, but you’re paying for the chill atmosphere and comfy seating which is absolutely spot on. Will 100% be returning in the future.
