What is an escape room game?
U-Escape room games are a fun activity for friends, colleagues and families where you use team work to find clues and complete both mental puzzles and physical challenges to help you escape from the room within a certain time limit.
Who can play a U-Escape game?
A U-Escape room game is all about players having fun and creating memories that will last a lifetime. Although some of our escape room games have a recommended minimum age, parental discretion can be applied. Please contact us if you have questions about the suitability of our escape rooms for your expected players.
How difficult is a U-Escape game?
Our escape room games are built to be challenging but fun for everyone. Your dedicated Games Master will be on hand to assist with hints and clues when you are struggling to make progress in the game, to help ensure that you get the fullest and most enjoyable experience possible.
How do we book a U-Escape game?
Please use our simple online booking system to reserve and pay for your U-Escape room game. If you have special requirements, please contact us prior to booking and we can discuss your needs
Can I just turn up and play?
Due to high demand, we strongly recommend that you pre-book your experience. We may be able to accommodate last minute requests or experiences outside our usual opening hours, but please contact us to discuss.
How long does the escape room game last?
The U-Escape experience lasts for 90 minutes from beginning to end. This allows for 15 minutes before and after the game for the pre-game brief and post-game discussion and for photographs to be taken.
What time should we arrive for our escape room experience?
Please plan to arrive a few minutes prior to your chosen game time. We have already built in time for the pre-game brief and any questions you may have. If you are running late, please contact us as soon as possible to make us aware. We will do everything within our abilities to accommodate you, but if you arrive more than 15 minutes late this may not be possible and unfortunately you will not be entitled to a refund.
What is the recommended number of players per escape room?
We recommend between 3-6 players for each of our escape room games. It is possible for teams of 2 to play but if you are not experienced escape game players then you may find the game difficult and there may be too many puzzles for you to complete the game and exit the room within the required time.
Can I bring more players on the day?
The maximum number of players we can accommodate in each of our games is 6. If your group is larger than the size you originally booked for, the standard ticket charges will apply for each extra player and must be paid for in advance. Please contact us to arrange advance payment.
Can I cancel my booking?
We require 14 days notice of any cancellation. Please be aware that there is a £7.50 cancellation refund fee applicable in these circumstances.
Where can I park?
There is a car park situated on West Hill Road, which is within 250 meters of our venue. This is a pay and display car park costing from £1.50 for 2 hours parking (correct as of May 2017). There are various other shopper’s car parks situated across Bournemouth town. If you require any further information regarding parking, please contact us.
How should I dress?
We recommend that you wear comfortable shoes and clothing to play our games. Coats and bags will be placed in our lockers so they do not hinder you during your experience.
Can I organise a larger party, stag/hen do, corporate event?
Yes, of course! We love to have large groups and parties held at our venue. Please contact us with your specific requirements and we will do everything we can to help you to arrange a day you will never forget.
I am claustrophobic, will I be able to play?
We can’t see why not, but naturally you play at your own risk. The escape game rooms are average sized and when playing as a team, it is not necessary for every player to access every area of a game. Also note, players can leave the game at any time should they need to, just make your Games Master aware. If you have any specific needs or can foresee any issues arising, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will do everything we can to assist you.
I am pregnant, will I be able to play?
We can’t see why not, but naturally you play at your own risk. The escape game itself will last for up to 60 minutes and players should be aware that in this time it will not be possible to sit down. Some of our special effects may also create excitement and/or anticipation. If you have any concerns, please obtain medical advice before making a booking.

Is your Bournemouth venue wheelchair accessible?
Unfortunately, there a few steps before one can access the games within the listed building we are currently located in, so the building is not wheel chair accessible. Apologies for this.

Please be aware of this before booking as we reserve the right to refuse admission to our rooms, without refund, in the event a player appears to be intoxicated.
