In October, we recognize Myths And Legends Day, so to celebrate we are taking a look at the lore behind our four awesome story-driven adventures. Our escape rooms span several time periods of historical significance, and feature some familiar faces from myth and legend, as well as some new ones inspired by ancient eras. If you’re looking to be immersed into your own epic saga, these experiences will get you feeling like you’ve been plopped into the past, as the starring role of a thrilling film, or absorbed into a story of a sensational page-turner.
Discover your own legendary tale.
At Odds With The Gods
Make like Hermes, and travel to Mount Olympus to take on the tricky challenges set by mythological characters. It’s a puzzle-packed saga where your skills will be put to the ultimate test. On your epic quest you’ll encounter familiar figures from Greek legend, including Apollo, Athena, and Aphrodite. The gods are ready and waiting to judge you to see if you’ll be deemed worthy of hero status. It’ll be no easy feat, but if you are victorious, you’ll be presented with the ultimate reward…immortality. Fail, and your destiny will be to remain mortal. Zeus isn’t angry…he’s just disappointed.
A Knight To Escape
There were many famous battles throughout the middle ages, and this tale between two brothers would fit right in. Step inside the castle walls in our 120-minute masterpiece, and you’ll be whisked back to days gone by, and straight into a scene from medieval history. Our story is set in Stonebury, a village nestled into a once quiet countryside location, before the armor-clad invasion disturbed the peace within the kingdom. You’ll find yourself fighting for justice, as you bravely siege the castle and settle a feud between the two rivals. With your help, courageous Dominic will rightfully become king, but beware of the traps that Cassius has left, for if he succeeds and the crown falls into the wrong hands, your team mates will be left trapped in the dungeon for all eternity.
Sherlock Studies
Sherlock Holmes is undoubtedly a legendary character in literary history, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s most popular protagonist. We play homage to this daring and dashing detective, in our 75-minute murder mystery with a twist. Sherlock isn’t the only familiar face you’ll encounter in this action-packed adventure. Naturally, Watson is never far behind him, and you might even find Moriarty lurking in the shadows. You’ll feel like the renowned man himself, as you sit poised at the desk within his office, compiling papers, photographs, and pieces of ephemera. So, don your deerstalker hat and keep your wits about you, as you uncover evidence at every turn in this intriguing escape.
Fright Before Your Eyes
Evil illusionist Victor Strange, is the infamous performer in our feature-length theatrical misadventure. He may appear charming and captivating, but behind closed doors hides a volatile individual. Unfortunately his assistants saw his worst side, as one by one they entered his bad books, (both figuratively and literally if you uncover his journal within the game). They met a gruesome fate at his pristine white-gloved hands, and ultimately became banished forever to a life haunting the abandoned theatre, as the spirits of illusions past. The once dazzling lights which illuminated the glitzy shows, now cast a sinister shadow across a dilapidated back stage area, overflowing with remnants of past performances, and discarded props, dumped after Victor’s misdeeds caught up with him.
Have a legendary time!
