Had an amazing time with family today in the new DARK ARTS room, facilitated by David and Ross at the front desk - have been to the Breakout Games a few times before and have had the pleasure of both names above being our Game Masters and they always go above and beyond. Can't recommend enough!

Myself, partner and friends had a go at the new Enchanted Forest room and it was fab - thoroughly enjoyed myself and was something different to do for my birthday (our 2nd time now). We all felt safe, everything was cleaned and everything was explained simply and clearly. Holly was really friendly and we are already planning to head back for our third room - here's hoping our team make it to the top, after coming a close second.

Whilst I had seen a few photos beforehand, we were impressed with what we found - and it´s free! Getting there - I followed my sat nav using the postcode AB42 0NE, which I found online. However, this took us to a small residential road of Castle Street in Cruden Bay. There was no sign of any castle so we consulted some online maps. I parked the car in Castle Street at the junction with Castle Woods. We had a lovely walk on a farm track through some fields until we met a small road leading to the castle. It´s possible to drive right up to the castle if you take the A975 and take the turning into a small track road about 1 km from Cruden Bay. We were lucky with the weather so the ruins overlooking the sea looked amazing. We liked the fact that you could explore the ruins without fences - at your own risk. We found it a better experience than many of the overpriced tourist castles. However, the ruins sit on the clifftop and there are no safety fences. For that reason I would NOT recommend it for young children or dogs. Otherwise, well worth a visit.

A fantastic amount of fun! Experience the sensation as you bounce in a vast arena of interconnected trampolines. You can jump between trampolines, literally bounce off the walls and challenge others to a friendly game of trampoline dodgeball. If you are more daring, you can also try flying and flipping into the foam zone or trying out some new moves on the tumble tracks.
