A Message From Will & Matt
Following the closure of our venues on Friday 20th March we couldn’t sit and do nothing for the foreseeable future, that would be boring! We are proud to announce that just 5 days later we have launched Know Escape Online!
You can book these today at https://www.knowescape.co.uk/online-escape-rooms/
We are now able to bring the Know Escape magic to your home via the internet. Just like our physical rooms we won’t be giving too much away but we can tell you that you will be joined in your game by the games masters from our venues who will be running your games as your eyes, ears hands and trusty guide companion. These games are a lot of fun and can be played with friends and family anywhere in the world.
Whilst our venues are closed we are still shipping EXiT Games, Adventure Games and Unlock! Games too which can be found for sale at https://www.knowescape.co.uk/gift-shop
Finally, rest assured as soon as it is safe to do so we will be re-opening our doors. If you are due to visit us during the period of closure someone will be in touch to discuss re-arranging your game.
We thank you for your support and understanding in what is not just a difficult time for us but the whole industry, country and the rest of the world.

What are Escape Rooms?
Escape rooms are a timed experience with a series of puzzles to escape the room. The puzzles will test your ability to work as a team, think logically and with common sense.
We’re Know Escape and we know escape! Our directors have played hundreds of Escape Games around the world, and advised other companies and organisations on how to design, build and run the most exciting games. We wouldn’t let you play anything we wouldn’t want to play ourselves, and all of our sets, puzzles and game stories are our own.
Why Choose Us?
- Amazing games (see any review site).
- Family run and operated.
- Dedicated Know Escape team member watching your game only (and not multiple games!).
- We never put you with strangers, the room is yours!
- Our games are written by our team, and are not imported; you’ll only play a Know Escape game at a Know Escape venue.
- We love Escape Rooms! Our founders have played hundreds all over the world and wouldn’t put you in a game they wouldn’t put their own families in!
- People travel from all over the world to play our games.
- We dress and decorate the game with a perminant theme! Some companies don’t do this, watch out for it!
- No blockbuster film franchise rip offs here! We write our own unique ideas, and never rip anyone else off!
Who can play ?
Almost anyone can play. Please check in advance if you have any special access requirements to make sure that the room is suitable for your party’s needs. We’re really lovely and we’ll do everything we can to accommodate you.
Do I need to know anything else?
