What is an Escape Room?
An escape room is where we put your team in a themed room and you must try and escape by solving puzzles and challenges. You will have 60 minutes to complete the mission. Each game is for 2-6 people however No Place Like Gnome can accommodate up to 8 players.
Do you have a customer car park?
We have a large, free car park for our customers so you don't need to worry about finding somewhere to leave your car or having charge to pay for parking.
Who can experience the games?
The experiences are for people of all backgrounds and genders who love puzzles and interactive challenges. Please note that children under the age of 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult in the escape games. We do not allow anyone under the age of 7yrs.
What are your opening hours?
Our opening hours vary during the year due to increased heating costs during the colder months. Up to date availability can be checked at any time by clicking any Book Now button on our website. Booking in advance is required. If its less than 2 hours before the game please call us to check availability.
What do I need to bring and what should I wear?
We would recommend you to wear comfortable clothes and shoes you can move around in.
When should I arrive and where is it?
We recommend teams to arrive at the time they booked ready for your briefing and introduction.
How much would it cost and how can I book the tickets?
Our prices will vary per person depending on the size of the group. The more players in a booking, the cheaper it is! Bookings can be reserved through our online booking system and will require a minimum group of 2 people to a maximum of 8 people for selected rooms.
I am claustrophobic; can I play?
All our games have good size rooms with a reasonable ceiling height. Players are also free to exit the rooms at any time during the game (excluding Prison Break, it is a prison so you are locked in). Speak to any member of our team if you have any concerns.
Are your escape rooms hard?
Each of our rooms aredesigned to be a challenge, but they are not unbeatable! Every room is solvable if you work as a team. We recommend that players who are new to escape games do not play the most difficult rated games until they are familiar with the concept.
How does the game end?
Either you are successful and you achieve the game objective or you run out of time and the game is over.
Are you wheelchair accessible?
We are delighted to advise that we can accommodate wheelchair users in all games apart from Prison Break. There are ramps available to enter the building, so please ensure you let us know of your needs, and there are permanent ramps placed at all fire escapes.
Do you have somewhere I could wait whilst others play?
In order to provide the best possible experience for all of our customers we run with staggered start times and we do not mix groups. We're afraid we do not have a waiting area for anyone who isn't playing one of our games.
Can I bring my dog?
We love dogs here at Lakes Escapes. You are welcome to bring yours with you so long as they are clean, dry, well behaved and house trained.
