Escape Glasgow

Escape is a fun, challenging game in Glasgow City Centre. Designed for groups of 2 - 5 or 6. With 4 rooms in operation we can accommodate teams of up to 22. We lock you up in a mysterious room, and give you exactly 60 minutes to get out. In order to escape you and your team must identify clues, solve logic puzzles and break codes. Do you have what it takes to Escape?

We went with another family and did the Wizard challenge where you make up two teams, go in identical rooms and see who can get out first. Staff welcoming and attentive, escape room was fun, with just the right amount of help when needed. Great experience.

Reviewed By alexhyphen - Bath, United Kingdom

A short hop out from the city centre, near the SSE arena is one of Glasgow’s iconic landmarks, well worth a walk. That whole area is near the science centre, Radisson Red hotel roof bar, definitely a great place to take in the great view. The walk along the Clyde back into town is great, as well as the walk further along to the transport museum.

Saint Columba Gaelic Church of Scotland

Reviewed By vessi80 - North Lanarkshire, United Kingdom

Architecturally and historically, this magnificent church is a must see . If you are a tourist with the slightest link to the North of Scotland then it would be a wee bit of a 'sin' not to visit. If a local like me, then there's no excuse as the location is easily accessible. The Gaelic Community's presence in the city dates back to the Highland Clearances and as more families relocated through the centuries , various fine churches were built where they could worship in their own language. In this prime location in 1904, Saint Columba's opened and it could welcome well over a thousand of a congregation. Gothic Revival Glamour at its best. The nave is impressive in length and the rest of the interior is equally impressive. Vast it may be but also very welcoming and atmospheric. 'Doors Open' allowed a special Saturday visit . Many thanks to Donald for his tour of this special church. It deserves far more recognition by guide books and the 'good' folk of Glasgow and beyond. Visits can be made on Thursdays between midday and 2 pm and of course there are Services on Sunday in Gaelic and English. Check the social media pages for exact information.
