Families and friends after a fun challenge together will love The Escape Game Swansea, one of the biggest escape room venues in the area. Every room is designed in-house, so you won’t find these exact puzzles anywhere else, and there’s something for total beginners right through to seasoned escape room fans.
Teams of 2 to 7 players work together to solve puzzles, crack codes, and find their way out within 60 minutes, with a Game Master keeping an eye on things throughout. Themes range from a wrongful prison sentence to a Wild West moonshine mystery, so everyone in the group can find a room that suits their nerve level, and there’s even a free online game you can play from home.
