Took my partner for his Birthday! The shop is really lovely! Loads of things to choose from and a great range of prices! The staff were great and explained everything from what paint to use and what techniques would work for our chosen item. We had tea and a slice of lemon and syrup cake and it was delicious. We found the experience really relaxing and enjoyable and would highly recommend it!!

Tick Tock Unlock

Tick Tock Unlock is an exciting live escape game designed for groups of 3-6 people. You only have one goal: escape from the room in 60 minutes by solving a series of puzzles, unraveling clues, and working together as a team to reveal secrets hidden in plain sight. Are you ready to put your wits to the test?

Three of us did the Alice in Wonderland game yesterday. We were met on time at our given meeting place by our lovely games master Sophie and escorted to the secret location. Sophie gave us a comprehensive health and safety talk and introduced us to the game. We thoroughly enjoyed the game despite failing to escape (only just). Don’t want to say too much about the game itself and spoil the surprise for those who haven’t done it, but the clues were varied and some were quite challenging. We laughed at ourselves most of the way through the hour especially when Sophie had to give us clues. I liked it that the door we went into the game was left unlocked for safety reasons. Communication was via a television screen that, when not displaying requested clues, had a clock counting down the time left in the game. All in all - a very entertaining game, by a well run and professional games company. We’ll be back for more.
