Escape Rooms
Escape Rooms are the interactive and immersive activity to sweep the country, in fact the world!
If you love games and puzzles or just like trying new things, then this is for you.
Whilst there are now several Escape Rooms about, we believe Oliver Cromwell’s House offers something that no other Escape Room experience can – the location and the atmosphere.
After a short briefing you will enter the Escape Room and find yourself in Cromwell’s former Tithe Office, an original 17th century, oak panelled room, where Oliver would have counted the local taxation payments. No other location can offer this unique surrounding.
Our latest games, The Saint and the Sinner and The Tomb of the Templars are engaging, fun and entertaining!
The Tomb of the Templars
An ancient chamber used centuries ago by the Order of the Knights Templar and their successors has recently been discovered by curator, Ophelia Winters. She has been tasked by the Museum and Library of St George to locate and recover the long-lost holy relics and Templar treasures that lay hidden within the tomb.
However, she is in danger. Her quest has attracted unwanted attention from an elusive secret society called the ‘Guild of Shadows’ that is planning to steal them for their sinister ends. Ophelia has hired a mercenary, Nathan Spears, to stall them and allow time for a trusted team of treasure hunters to enter the crypt and search for the artefacts.
Can YOU join her expedition and explore the chamber to find all the sacred relics and escape before the Guild Shadows arrive? It’s a race against time…….

A clock will be in the room to count you down and a large dong will sound after exactly 60 minutes.
In order to gain the most from the experience, we recommend a minimum of 4 people and a maximum of 6 although we have had 2 people do it. Regardless of the numbers, the price is costed per session. The sessions are booked as a group and therefore no one else will be in the room with you, other than those you invite.
Maximum Number of Players – 6 – Parties larger will not be admitted to play.
Actually no but we don’t like to ruin the illusion! You are able to exit the room at anytime if for example you are feeling unwell. A webcam is in operation throughout your time in the “locked room” so that staff can come in if there is an emergency but also for the security and protection of the room and its contents.
Well not the same one as you will obviously know the clues, unless you have a really, really bad memory. However, we will be changing the game on a regular basis, so make sure you sign up to our newsletter so you will be the first to hear when we will be bringing a new room out.
