Escape Artists
Escape games have taken off in a big way Stateside and throughout the rest of the UK. And the first to arrive in Cardiff has opened its doors. But this is no normal, run-of-the-mill chain. Fiercely independent, Escape Rooms Cardiff do things differently and have been getting accolades for their unique approach to escape games.
​
Put simply you and your team get locked in a themed room (usually for an hour) where the only way out is to find and solve a series of hidden clues and puzzles that eventually lead you to the key to the door. It’s even more fun when you’re competing against another team - the first one to solve the fiendishly clever riddles and unlock the door wins. Easy. Not.
​
So, what’s so special about Escape Rooms Cardiff? Most companies simply buy the kit, games and software ‘off-the-shelf ’ which means they can be a bit samey. But Escape Rooms Cardiff has taken it to the next level – all their games have been redeveloped specifically for them and as a result are much more fun and unusual. Escape from a boobytrapped Egyptian tomb, find and release a missing Sherlock Holmes or steal a priceless artefact from a museum before the rozzers catch you. All require quick-thinking and teamwork and are enormous fun, even if you don’t get out in time!
