About Exciting Escapes

Exciting Escapes bring the thrilling world of Escape Room adventures to Hampshire. 60 minutes of adventure for teams of family, friends and colleagues

Exciting Escapes Description

Exciting Escapes are thrilled to bring the global phenomenon that is Escape Rooms to Hampshire. Working together in a small group of 2-7 people, your challenge is to solve puzzles and mysteries together while the clock ticks down. Each room has a story that you play a part in, and each presents its own unique challenges for a truly entertaining experience. Will you accept the challenge?

You don’t need to know exactly how it works before you arrive. One of our team will meet you from the door, take you through the game, and be on hand to help you if you need it. Thousands of people are already taking on the ‘Escape Room’ challenge each week across the UK. If you’re looking for something fun, different, and enjoyably challenging then this is for you!

Friends and Families

Maybe it’s the chance for you and a bunch of friends to do something really different for an hour or two. Maybe this is the opportunity for you to entertain the kids doing something together that you will all enjoy. Whatever the reason, get a group together for a time to remember, solving puzzles and mysteries while the clock ticks down

Gamers

Time for a new challenge. Step away from the screen and immerse yourself in a real-life gaming experience. No chance to ‘save’, press the ‘pause’ button or lower the difficulty level. This is about you, your team, and 60 minutes on the clock.

Team building

Do you want the chance to do something really different as a team? Learning about how you work together, what you can do to get the best out of each other, and having a lot fun at the same time. We have a specialist offering based on years of experience developing effective teams which we can then tailor to your specific needs

Date night

Do you fancy doing something different for a night out with your other half? Popping out for a quick drink then popping in to have some escapist fun. Maybe it’s a first date, and you want to take them somewhere different? Maybe it’s just one of those rare nights out and you don’t want to waste it doing the same old thing. Either way, this is for you!

We’ve had 3,623 teams take on our 1950’s challenge, and in all of those games only 20 teams have completed before the 30 minute mark and win themselves a free game. Tonight we had our 21st. Congratulations guys, you are awesome! Who might be the 22nd? #escaperoom #excitingescapes #basingstoke

We hosted our first large team building event at the new Portsmouth site yesterday and got this fabulous feedback for the team. If you're thinking of a similar thing, or perhaps for a Christmas social, give us a call ! 023 92666831

Our 3rd Portsmouth room is now live! That means we now have a pair of identical 1920s 'Dark Deeds and Groceries' experiences. Now you can bring two teams and race :-)

User

This fab set of teams from WH Smiths just went head to head in our two identical 1950’s based missions in Basingstoke and did a sterling job! You guys were so much fun and we hope to see you for another one soon! #StationeryWontHelpYouNow

Whether you want some fun together before you go out to eat and drink, or you would like us to host the whole event at one of our four locations, we'll create something that works for you. We can host groups from 2 to 50 at our sites in Basingstoke, Southampton and now Portsmouth with 15 exciting escape experiences to enjoy.

Its the time you have all been waiting for! Southampton August leaderboards are up! Some fantastic times, some questionable team names...... What an amazing summer we have had! Don't forget to tag yourselves!

User

With two new rooms in our flagship Portsmouth branch up and running our first few teams towards the end of August certainly did have an Exciting Escape! A huge congratulations to The Waydunns who topped both our leaderboards after an impromptu back to back code cracking session! We can't wait to see more teams and open more rooms through September, will you rise to the challenge?? 🏆🕵🏻🔎🕵🏻‍♀️🏆

The team from The Southampton Guide came to play our 2050's game 'Spies in Space' mission. See what they thought of their time in out of space! https://thesouthamptonguide.com/exciting- escapes-space-roo…/

User

Bit grey and rainy this morning! Need something to do? We still have a few space for later today, and for the Bank Holiday weekend :-)

User

Opening week for our first room in Portsmouth :-) Just finished testing and the 1960's experience 'Murder at the Movies' is working perfectly! We can't wait to greet the first customers coming in from Wednesday

User

Struggling for ideas of what to do today? You are in luck my friend! We have a couple of available games this afternoon for that last minute booking! Click on the link and give us a call!

User

One week to go till the first room in our new Portsmouth site is open! Plenty of long days being worked, so you can imagine getting feedback like this from the weekend make it all seem worthwhile :-)

User

This team of daring detectives were brave enough to tackle three of our rooms in Basingstoke today! They not only lived to tell the tale they have also potentially bagged themselves slots on all three leaderboards!!!! #leaderboardhattrick #teamoftheday #maybetheyarerealspies

User

🚨🚨Basingstoke Teams🚨🚨 there are a few road closures in town today, make sure you leave yourself enough time to make your journey!

User

Great to get a mention in the local press this weekend :-)

User

After the long, hot spell it looks like we are in for some cloud and rain. If only there was something more fun to do on a wet day than just jumping in puddles.......

User

What a fantastic birthday treat! 4 youngsters v 4 not-so-youngsters in 2 identical rooms. The young'uns managed to escape 6 minutes before us, but we escaped with 7 minutes to spare, a great room with some brilliant puzzles! Our hosts were very welcoming and informative, thank you for making our experience perfect. highly recommend it for a fun evening!

User

Took my dad and brother for birthday gifts and we all loved it! Their newest escape has been created amazingly and I loved the details and hard work put into it! Would have liked longer to enjoy it all but then we wouldn’t have escaped on time!! We will be back to escape other rooms!

User

Something new for #datenight - it was our first ever escape room and we loved it. We didn’t make it out but enjoyed it so much - amazingly clever and so well thought through. Jess was brilliant - and the photo at the end was a great way to finish the evening. We’ll definitely be back!

User

So much fun, we did the 'hidden past' can't wait to go back and try another room!

User

Just trialled the new ‘spies in space’ room in Shirley and can highly recommend it. A good mixture of brain games, skill and psychical activity. Loved it!

User

I've been to both Basingstoke and Southampton and have done the 50's, 60's (I think? The cinema one!) and 80's room and each one have been amazing. Challenging, fun and something completely different for an hour! And even more of a bonus we have completed each room! Hooray!

User

Hubby and I had our first go at an escape room set in the 1970’s about a copper on the take. Sadly we didn’t get out but had a great time this really makes you think. It’s really good fun we will have another go but hopefully bring people more intelligent then us!!!

User

Exciting Escapes is brilliant fun! We were buzzing all day yesterday and can’t wait to do another one! It’s so cleverly done and I love the attention to detail in the rooms.

User

Did this today with group from work. Was great fun and good for team working. Fully recommend

User

Did the 1957 Cold War escape room in Basingstoke with 3 friends on 2 August. It's so well organised and there's great variety in the puzzles we had to solve. It far exceeded our expectations for a first escape room. Thank you!

User

Did one of the escape rooms last night and it was honestly one of the best things we have ever done! It was so fun and the staff were incredibly welcoming and kind which made it even more of an enjoyable experience! Would 100% reccomend. Can't wait to go back to try different rooms! :)

User

Couldn't recommend enough. Staff were amazing, I completely screwed up the booking and turned up a day late. They went over and beyond to fit us in, I think someone stayed late just so we could do it. Haven't laughed so hard for ages. Can not wait to go again :)

User

Completed my first ever escape room experience yesterday for a friends birthday. Absolutely loved it and would certainly recommend to everyone! I will definitely be coming back �

User

Came here for an activity as we passed through Southampton on a rainy day. Was a brilliant experience, really cleverly thought and extremely challenge! There was just two of us but it still worked well and we had a great time. Alexander helped us through being spies and gave lots of handy clues!

User

Brilliant, staff really friendly, looking forward to going back and trying another room. Highly recommend. Thanks for a great time.

User

Brilliant time doing this today, staff were lovely really worth doing if you are looking for something different to do, highly recommend

User

Brilliant fun, first attempt at anything like this... Hubby and I managed some good Teamwork! Will be back with a group for a bigger room challenge!

User

Amazing! Just tried out the new space room!! So clever and fun, would highly recommend to anyone! Such a great laugh, we will definately be back soon :D Thank you!

User

A great way to spend a Sunday Funday with friends.

Absolutely loved this experience. Our host Alistair was great, made us feel very welcome and really good in his character.

We were in the Record room and thought the clues were so well thought out and put together.

We managed to escape with only 10 seconds to spare!

Will definitely be back.
