I booked the gin experience as a surprise birthday treat for my husband - and got to share in the fun!! Excellent way to spend the afternoon. Our thanks to Ryan, gin master, who made the session really good fun whilst being information and educating us on the art of all things gin!! Got to sample lots of different gins, make our own full size bottle, and had a really lovely goody bag to take away at the end. Highly recommend it - and Happy Birthday Ryan for today!!

My mum decided she wanted to do an obstacle course for her birthday (62nd!) so I started looking around locally and discovered The Playground. As we were making it a family affair there would be 10 of us so decided to purchase one of their packages and I can safely say it was worth every penny. The site is as you would expect, a load of obstacles in a field but everything is clearly marked. They have toilets, ‘luxury’ showers aka hose pipes ???? and changing facilities for after the mud pits. The obstacles are simple but well put together, everything felt so safe and secure. We had an age range from 9 to 62 with various fitness abilities but we all helped and supported each other which was a great opportunity to have some fun together as well. Even obstacles that people initially felt they would not be able to do they surprised themselves and confidence grew with each obstacle. I cannot thank our playmaker enough, Angie was fantastic, she was great with the younger kids as they were almost too keen in some instances and very encouraging when some were struggling with the higher obstacles. There was no hard pressure to do anything people were uncomfortable with so everyone found it enjoyable. For anyone looking for something to do either on your own, as a small group or a larger group I would highly recommend The Playground! We took a long time to go round as there was quite a few of us and it was more team building and helping each other rather than who can do it the quickest but for those more competitive there is definitely the option to make it more time based.

Real life escape rooms. Are you up to the challenge? You and your friends are locked in a room, you will have to work together to solve puzzles and clues before the clock runs out. Currently running Death Row and The Vault. Death Row - It’s 1960 in Texas. You’ve been wrongly convicted for murder and you’re on death row. Legend has it, a previous prisoner escaped and has left you clues. You have 1 hour before your time is up, don’t get caught or let the time run out. The Vault - You and your accomplices are professional thieves and steal to order. MI6 have tasked you to steal five internationally prized artefacts. Rumour has it these have been stolen from around the world by a infamous high ranking Mafia boss Andreas Fault for his private collection. MI6 have got you into the service tunnel adjacent to his study but the rest is up to you. Good luck!

First visit to Escape Rooms Suffolk today and we were not disappointed! We escaped the Dolls House which was so cleverly thought out and had such a variety of different things to figure out - we had a great time and will definitely be coming back to try The Vault soon!

We have been a few times now and i would recommend it . We paid £12 each for a two and a half hour session and we got 5 games in that time period . The games themselves are great fun , the staff are really friendly and helpful and you get a drink included in your entrance fee. Lots of 2p machines to play on between games too. Great laugh , if you haven't been, do so .
