About
An escape room game is a live action adventure, where you are challenged to use creative and lateral thinking to solve your way out of a locked room. At Improbable Escapes, our games are 60 minutes of intense and unique puzzles in which you must work with your team to try and escape before the buzzer goes off. We pride ourselves on having family friendly games, and have private bookings to ensure you have the most fun with your team!

We were a group of four and had a blast working our way through the challenges of this escape room. Fewer people might make the time constraint more of an issue, and more people might be many crowded in a small space. The Coroner’s Report was a great balance of fun and effort and an awesome opportunity to work together as a team to solve the mystery. The Coroner’s Report is considered “horror” but it’s not gruesome, it’s more of a creepy/silly gore. The live component added an extra dimension that definitely contributed to the overall enjoyment. Thank you Grace for making the experience so memorable! P.S. We “escaped” with eight minutes to spare!
One suggestion I have for the Improbable Escapes team is to make use of the beautiful brickwork in your downtown location to create a photo op wall for the “We Escaped!” Group pics! (The lighting downstairs isn’t great for photos)

One of the best executions of visual and play-space designs I've encountered. A very balanced mix of analog and electronic processes, actions, and deliverables. Also a nice range and balance of fast to understand and solve steps with some parts that require deliberation and strong lateral thinking. I can see how this would be a top ten percent game for medium to large, on location, group play - keeping everyone engaged and active. The set design and integration of digital elements is at the highest tier in the escape game industry. Story arc is consistent and present in each phase. Bravo to the Improbably Escapes teams on a fantastic room. SEVEN DWARFS: MINING MISSION is a must play.

My family has done almost every escape room at Improbable, and we love going. The staff is always helpful and the puzzles are challenging and fun. I would absolutely recommend it. Their board game lounge (Wonderland) is also lots of fun - we've gone to trivia nights and enjoyed their snacks and drinks. All in all a great company!

We went for a team building exercise and it was great. The escape experience really promotes collaboration,teamwork with a sense of urgency that has to be calmed with patience and analytical thinking. The staff are great and the rooms are challenging. If you can go, you should!

Hi!
It depends on the game. It's a minimum of 2 players for some of our games, and the max is around 16 depending on the game. If you visit our website and look at the game listings, you can see the minimum amount of people required per game. Thank you! :)

Hi supergirlteacher,
We have had children as young as 5 come and participate in the games and have a great time! Kids have a different way of thinking in escape rooms and actually have so much fun! 3 of our 4 games are family friendly and would be suitable for all of you to come and have a family day out! As mentioned above, Love Letter Lockdown and Naughty or Nice are great for kids, we also have our Great Maple Syrup Heist which is also suitable for kids.
We hope this answers your question and to see you soon at one of our games!
Cheers,
The Improbable Escapes Team
