📖 THE STORY

Freddie Knox, legendary lead member of the latest rock band in town has been poisoned by a resentful member of the band! After the deed, perpetrator Kurt Davis ran to the dressing room where it is thought he hid the poison used. You have been tasked to search the dressing room and find the hidden substance, and time is running out. Doctors need to administer an antidote so they need to know what the poison was, and they think he only has about an hour to live. Hurry!

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

A superbly themed room - with some very unique props and a great soundtrack!
Super puzzles with a great mix of things to do, we were never stuck and made good fast progress as a team of two.
The room is plenty big enough for larger teams!
There is a very fun secret part of the room which we could have happily engaged with all day.

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

There was a slight hiccup where the safe hadn’t quite closed properly when reset - but this was quickly rectified, and noted by the GM to be double-checked in future. It didn't affect our game though as I realised quickly it shouldn’t have been that easy to open!

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

Any music fans and those who like to dress up and get really into the theme during their games will love this room! A traditional type escape room which will please the padlock fans but also has a great mix of other puzzles. The venue has been revamped rebranded and reworked by a family team who are passionate about making great experiences.

ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO

There is plenty of parking in the area but the venue is in a pedestrian area. It is also a 20-minute easy walk from the train station.
