Happy new year, everyone!

We may have been quiet for a while, but the last 12 months have actually been our busiest year yet!

The highlights:
✊ Smashing the fash at The World Transformed's Games Transformed, with our anti-fascist casino escape room, 'Safe Hands'!
🎓 Running a day-long training workshop in July with regenerative economics startup Slowmentum
🎃 Bewitching Aberdare with our spooky Halloween game 'Fair Is Foul' at Cynon Linc!
🎄Partnering with Slowmentum to design and build their festive popup 'Escape Christmas' at sparksbristol!
🥂 Writing our first dinner-party murder mystery (with helpful hints from Imbroglios - Murder Mysteries & Whodunnits - Events and Parties!) for a private client's 30th birthday party!

All this, plus many exciting conversations, new puzzles, and big plans made 2025 a very big year... and 2026 looks even bigger!

If you're looking for a unique attraction for your venue, a way to make your special party unforgettable, or a collab to take your creative event to the next level, why not Create An Escape?

Sci-fi, murder mystery, supernatural horror... every genre of game has its own kinds of puzzles. Sci-fi lets you play with computers, electronics, and of course creepy biological alien matter! Murder mystery is all about suspense and deduction, gathering evidence of all different sorts and unfolding a mystery against the clock. And supernatural spooking lets you go wild with eerie projections, ghost writing, ominous rituals and scary surprises!

Think of the spookiest space in YOUR building. With Halloween looming on the horizon, how would YOU Create An Escape?

Any room can become an exciting, dramatic play space if you get creative! The best escape games use all kinds of theatrical tricks-of-the-trade to help you feel totally immersed in the story, whether they're a high-budget cinematic experience, or a popup transforming an ordinary room into something magical.

Got any favourite stories you'd love to see turned into an escape room?

It's been a difficult summer for the visitor attractions industry, with numbers down by up to 40% on what many venues were expecting. Whether it's the cost of living crisis, the ropey weather or one of many other things, it's tricky times.

At Create An Escape, we pride ourselves in our flexibility, our low production costs, and our collaboration, so if you're a struggling venue who wants to run something a bit different to draw in the crowds for not too much, get in touch with us - we'd love to help!

Pop us an email at [email protected] and let's see what we can Create!

Phew, what about this weather eh? Getting locked in a room doesn't sound super appealing... but a lot of escape rooms have plenty of glorious, glorious aircon, and some even have a bar!..Or why not try building your own escape room in the garden or the park? Flowerpots, sheds, old bits of guttering - the average garden is full of bits and bobs you could turn into a sunny afternoon's activity for the family!
