Online escape games are a way for you to enjoy your free time with family, friends or for a team building session with your colleagues without all being in the same place. You can play from the comfort of your own sofa, with everyone alongside you, or you can set up a video call in separate houses/workplaces and play along together. For the more competitive, go head to head with your own purchase of the game and race to see who finishes first.
Our games are taken from our physical rooms but are 100% digitalised so you can play them at your leisure. There is no game host telling you that time is running out or clock ticking putting on that added pressure unless you want to time yourselves of course. You book your game for any of the time slots showing (this is just for our booking system and not when you actually have to play the game) and will then receive an email immediately with the link for your game which you can begin at anytime. You have 72 hours to complete the game once you have started and can play in more than one session if you prefer.
The games are fully playable by the whole team (just share the game link you receive via email after purchase) and we recommend a maximum of 6 players as they are a digitalised version of our physical games and therefore have the same limit for everyone’s enjoyment. You can of course have more connections but this will dilute the puzzles so we recommend for numbers above 6 players that you purchase more games and race head to head for more fun. No need to ask one person to move around checking things out, you can all move around and see each other’s cursors making their way around the room so you know what everyone is up to. Spin the dials on the padlocks, move around the room opening drawers and cupboards and discovering hidden items as though you were really there.
Please note that we advice playing our games on a desktop or laptop as there may be issues with using tablets and phones.
Are you ready for the biggest heist yet? Do you have what it takes to pull off this elaborate plot?
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 Casino Heist and Diamond Mine can accommodate up to 8 players.
The Diamond Mine is different to our escape room experiences as instead of you all going into one room and playing the game together you will take on mini challenges. The mini challenges are in different themed spaces and the games are 1 or 2 players and range from 25 seconds to 5 minutes each. The full team will participate throughout and take turns to encourage and advice (or abuse and mock) their team mates. The games are a variety of skill, physical, mental and memory and is suitable for players 7 years and above. Teams under the age of 14yrs need an adult with them at all times.
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.
Yes! Our experiences are perfect for team building exercises and group fun.
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 and children under the age of 14 will need to be accompanied by an adult in Diamond Mine. We do not allow anyone under the age of 7yrs.
We are open from 10.00am to 10.00pm, Mondays to Sundays. Booking in advance is required. If its less than 2 hours before the game please call us to check availability.
We would recommend you to wear comfortable clothes and shoes you can move around in.
We recommend teams to arrive at the time they booked ready for your briefing and introduction.
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.
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. Speak to any member of our team if you have any concerns.
Each of our rooms is designed 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.
Either you are successful and you achieve the game objective or you run out of time and the game is over.
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.
Some of the activities in the Diamond Mine are not suitable for wheelchairs but many are and players can still participate in the experience.
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.
We love dogs here at Lakes Escapes and you will often find our own trying to sneak out to greet you. You are welcome to bring yours with you so long as they are clean, dry, well behaved and house trained.
