We lock you up in a mysterious escape room, and give you exactly 60 minutes to get out. Do you have what it takes to escape? Designed for groups of 2 - 5, we have 6 rooms each with unique puzzles and challenges but the same ultimate goal of escaping within 1 hour.

A perfect family trip (although the kids are now in their 20s)! Very friendly staff and great puzzles. This was our second visit and both are to be recommended (we previously completed the Sherlock Holmes themed room ????????♂️ ). I don’t doubt that we’ll return again. Thanks to all the staff who made it a fun, friendly experience.

We visited based on the recommendation of a BBC book of 100 places that shaped the UK. The museum is based in William Wilberforce’s family home & is now within a vibrant museum quarter in Hull. There is a wealth of information, set out attractively & accessibly, on the house, the history of slavery, Wilberforce’s political battle to end the slave trade, the Middle Passage, the slave experience, the aftermath of slavery, African culture & contemporary slavery. We didn’t manage to see everything in the time that we had. A great visit & it’s free!

We entered the museum through a little unassuming gift shop and found ourselves on a walk through time. The exhibits relate to the full history of the area from the age of the dinosaurs to medieval times and are excellent, flowing well and displayed in an interesting and informative manner. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would recommend to everyone.

My dad and I always have a lovely time having a walk around the old part of hull. Walking up high street it is easy to imagine what it was like years and years ago there are some hidden gems if you know where to look I’m lucky my dad is a hull born and bred lad so he knows all the spectacular secrets that are there if you know where to look. Have a walk up and down the cobbled tiny streets go sit in trinity square and have a coffee and go walk round holly trinity church it’s free to enter plus if it’s raining you can sit in the church and have a hot drink along with a yummy piece of cake they always have some great home baking in the church cafe. Have a walk to hull pier and carry on round to hull marina and back round down Humber street. Hull is a great little city it’s under estimated most people are really friendly and helpful and the nice thing about hull is you don’t drive through it to go to other places so if your coming to hull your coming because you really want to. ????????. Ps don’t forget to have a walk up to queen victora square it is spectacular it has two of hulls great museums in it ferans art gallery and the maritime museum it’s well worth a visit.

This is a small bar for beer lovers with a good choice of interesting real ale and some bottled Belgian beers. Quiet and very authentic, with a very friendly landlord. Food menu: the pear and goats cheese ravioli was excellent. Very different, and well worth a visit.
