The 10 Best Fun Activities & Games in Taunton, England
Taunton /ˈtɔːntən/ is a large regional town in Somerset, England. The town currently peaks at a population of 69,570 as of 2018. The town itself has over 1,000 years of religious and military history, including a monastery dating back to the 10th century and Taunton Castle, which has origins in the Anglo Saxon period and was later the site of a priory. The Normans then built a stone structured castle, which belonged to the Bishops of Winchester. The current heavily reconstructed buildings are the inner ward, which now houses the Museum of Somerset and the Somerset Military Museum.

Lock and Code escape rooms Taunton, is the first escape room in Taunton. We suggest allowing 1hr and a half to play these games. An escape room is like a mix between the Crystal Maze and the Da Vinci code. Each themed room holds a variety of locked drawers, boxes, hidden rooms and puzzles and you must solve all of them to complete the quest within an hour. Great for everyone and great teamwork.

What an amazing experience this was. Not only was this a great escape room, but the whole atmosphere was set up to be a part of it, including the host. Host was spot on friendly without being intrusive and perfectly balanced with giving hints when needed without jumping in. We will definitely be back to try the other 3 rooms
