The Great Big Escape

The Great Big Escape Escape room experience based in Brewery Square, Dorchester. Perfect for families, friends and coworkers. Are you ready for a real-life challenge?

The Great Big Escape is an escape room venue, one where you and your team will put your skills to the test to solve riddles, puzzles, and much more in order to escape before time runs out! Our games require logic, intuition, and overall collaboration with your teammates in order to escape. You'll need to search and make good use of items that you discover throughout your adventure. Since this is a

team-focused game, the minimum requirement for each game is 3 players and a maximum of 8 players. A collective effort is required to have the best chance at escaping! All our rooms are designed to be interactive and provide an intellectual & physical challenge! Challengers under the age of 16 need to be accompanied by a paying adult guardian.

🗣 We are hiring! 🗣

If you think you're a hardworking, outgoing, and creatively driven individual we would love to hear from you! It also helps if you like people-watching, enjoy getting stuck into making things, thinking on your feet and using your imagination, and don't mind the occasional (there's more than one... sorry) spider.
