Last year we only played a single festive escape room, and it seemed like there weren’t too many around. According to this  post from Escape The Review there are over 50 games this year! We’ve got 3 booked so far – and we kicked off the festive escape room season with the fantastic Who Stole Christmas? at Lakes Escapes in Workington.

Review: Escape 999 - Time Race, Bury

Room Story - from Time Race Terrorists are suspected to be behind an outbreak of a man-made virus. You and your elite team of immunologists have just 30 minutes to identify and cure the deadly pathogen before it spreads from patient zero. The terrorists have sabotaged your ambulance, so you'll need to work twice as hard. Will you save a life before you arrive at the hospital? Key Stats Room Name Escape 999 Venue Time Race Location Bury, UK Date 01/09/2019 Escape Time 25:14 Team Size 3 My Recommended Team Size 2 - 3 Review Escape 999 is a 30 minute game set in an old decommissioned ambulance.

It’s very hard to compare a 30 minute experience in a limited space to some of the epically themed adve
