She's only gone and done it!!!! Our experimental, 2-hour immersive adventure, The Reading Witch, has just been ranked NUMBER ONE ESCAPE ROOM in the UK, placing 156th in the whole world, by the prestigious Top Escape Rooms Project.
We are all currently on cloud 9 celebrating but if you haven't made an appointment with Reading's most deadly district nurse yet, to celebrate our win, we’re offering a FREE DIGITAL GAME to anyone that buys a gift voucher before Christmas to play The Reading Witch or any one of our games over the next year.
Simply buy the voucher on our ‘bookings’ page and fire us an email with the game you’d like from our award winning catalogue and we’ll send it over ASAP. Great for a last minute present too, as the vouchers are delivered instantly by email. If our prices rise next year, your game voucher will lock your game in at the current rate.
And we’re extending our offer to our sister venue, Knockout Escape Rooms too, in case you’ve already played everything at Deadlocked. Buy a gift voucher for Knockout before the end of the 24th, either as a pressie for someone else or a cheeky treat for yourself and let us know which of our award winning digital games you haven’t played yet and we’ll send it over as soon as we can!
Thank you so much to everyone who nominated, this recognition has made the work of so many people so completely worth it, and means so much to the British Escape Room industry, and thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to the panel of brilliant enthusiasts who saw fit to bestow this title upon The Reading Witch.
She promises she won't let it cut off your head... I mean, get to her head. Definitely that.
Back to celebrating for us, best Christmas ever!! Merry Christmas everyone ###### James, Charlie and the whole team at Deadlocked
