What is an escape room?An Escape Reality escape game is a game that is played in real life. You and your team are immersed in a scenario with only 60 minutes to escape. These experiences are also known as puzzle rooms, live escapes, or room escapes. To solve puzzles, overcome obstacles, and escape the area, you'll have to race against the clock! There are so many different Escape Reality games to pick from. With a variety of genres, including horror, thriller, adventure, and family-friendly, we have built engaging and exhilarating escape room games. There is something for everyone, from entering the jungle-themed board game Jungala to breaking out of Alcatraz, the world's most secure jail, or joining a team of vampire hunters looking for Nosferatu.
Depending on your prior experience with escape rooms, you can choose the best option for your team from our range of rooms and difficulty levels. Hence, especially if it's your first game together, we advise beginners to start with a room with a difficulty level of 3 or 4. Please bear in mind, too, that the difficulty ratings given to each room might be somewhat subjective because something you may believe to be very simple may be difficult to someone else.
Mums tend to instinctively be superhero problem solvers. Why not put it to the test and see if she’s the ultimate escape room team member? She’s spent years, decades even solving problems that arise when raising children. A lot of successful child care involves thinking on your feet and thinking outside the box. Two qualities that are invaluable for an escape room team member. She could be the missing piece to your successful escape plan. See if you can make it onto our leaderboard now that you have a master problem solver amongst your ranks.
We have an onsite bar so you can (hopefully) celebrate your escape and spoil your mum further with a glass of wine or two.
We’ve got you covered! Don’t make the dreaded last minute dash to the local off license or petrol station to grab whatever dregs of bouquets they have left. Instead,book in with Escape Reality and get in your mum’s good books! We guarantee you’ll be the favourite child! Then all you need to do is write out a card for your mum. Or, if you’re not sure when you’ll all be free to play as a family, you can buy a gift voucher for the number of players you wish the game to be valid for and your mum can redeem it at a time and date to suit the whole family. This also helps take the pressure off you rounding everyone up and organising for a game date. Your mum can then pick the game, date and time that works best for her and redeem the gift voucher at her leisure. It also means you can forward the email on and don’t have to panic about printing it out or wrapping it up.
We’re sure your mum has had many occasions where she has wished to escape your embarrassing behaviours as a kid. How many times have you stared at a stranger? Repeated a naughty word you heard an adult say? Or asked how babies are made? Mothers Day is the perfect opportunity to let your mum finally experience an escape. It’s almost therapeutic in a way!
We have a whole portfolio of escape games across our locations for you to choose from. Is your mum a fan of adventure, horror or sci-fi? We’ll certainly have a room to suit her preferences. Or, you can stitch her up and head into one of our horror movie-themed escape rooms to make it even more memorable, and slightly terrifying!
