New worlds of adventure have been unlocked in Cheltenham, with Escape Hunt opening its newest venue at The Brewery Quarter.

The venue houses four of Escape Hunt’s popular escape rooms; Our Finest Hour, Aladdin, Alice in Puzzleland and Doctor Who: A Dalek Awakens, as well as a virtual reality room that will feature the new,
magical Christmas game, A Christmas Story, and an outdoor experience allowing players to explore the town.

All rooms are perfect for teams of 2-6 players to travel to new worlds by solving puzzles and clues in an immersive entertainment experience against the clock.

The Local Answer were lucky enough to be invited down before the venue opened on Friday 4th December. Lois and her partner took on the challenge of Aladdin’s Cave and only just managed to escape in 57 minutes and 50 seconds.

While her partner had taken part in an Escape Room previously, this was all very new to Lois, who was excited to find out what it all entailed. Being a fan of puzzles, she was confident of her and her partner’s ability to break out of the Cave, and enjoyed the variety of clues and puzzles that needed to be solved.

Their dedicated member of staff, April, was great at explaining what they might expect to see throughout the challenge, as well as giving health and safety (and COVID) guidelines. She was also on hand to help out when the pair got particularly stuck and needed a nudge in the right direction to find the next clue.

Overall, Lois and her partner had a great time at Escape Hunt and look forward to trying one of the other rooms in the near future.

Escape Hunt Cheltenham General Manager Cody Skrine said “We’re so excited to unlock the doors at The Brewery Quarter and welcome you all into worlds of adventure in the heart of the town. Whether it’s helping the Mad Hatter, saving Britain at war or finding the magical lamp in Aladdin, we’re sure all players will feel the magic of our immersive experiences.”

Escape Hunt CEO Richard Harpham commented, “We’re proud to bring our five star immersive entertainment experience to our newest venue in Cheltenham, ensuring safe fun for families and friends.”

Safety of both staff and guests is Escape Hunt’s top priority. For more information on how they are making it safe to enjoy their 5* adventures whilst closely following government guidance on COVID-19 please visit https://escapehunt.com/uk/play-safe/
