Additional Information

The Hole Escape Room presents an exceptionally immersive and state-of-the-art escape room adventure, where you experience prison time without any real-world crimes! This pulse-racing, riddle-driven game is set within the gloom of a prison cell, famously called The Hole. It promises to challenge your intellect as you cooperate to outwit The Hole and make your escape towards liberation.

THE TALE
You find yourself incarcerated, weary of your continual confinement, you are ingenious, sharp and a renowned master of jailbreaks. You have earned recognition among the correctional officers for being quite the handful to keep locked-up, having executed several escape attempts from your prison cell.
Now the Warden is fed up. The transfer documents are finalised and you are about to enter a chilling solitude; you’re entering The Hole.
The Hole is a custom-built incarceration facility, fortified with steel walls, digital door systems, and shrouded in darkness, The Hole is considered impenetrable. Once you are sealed within, escaping ceases to be a possibility.

So much fun! - Escape room! Me and my partner visited the prison before and loved it, very interesting and such a weirdly wonderful place! Atmosphere is something you just cannot describe without having a wander round. Whilst doing so we saw the Escape rooms were coming soon so we went back and did "The Hole" Escape room, it was so fun! (A touch easy) but Me and my partner play LOTS of Escape room 😂 will be back to play the cell version! The "guards" were great actors and put on a great performance, thoroughly enjoyed! 👏

Really enjoyed the escape room. Wasn’t sure the prison tour would be my cup of tea but it was surprisingly interesting! - We really enjoyed the escape room was so fun. We also walked around the prison after which was no extra charge and was surprisingly interesting to read all the different facts. Staff were very friendly and helpful and were made to feel welcome.

Fun and worth the 3hr drive - Great experience. Myself and two of my teenage children came up and walked round the prison, which we enjoyed. Then we did the Hole escape room. Our first escape room experience and it was brilliant! We did manage to escape, with a few pointers, but the kids loved it and we’ll definitely do more escape rooms.

So good! - The hole escape room was so good, very entertaining and the time went so fast! It was such a good experience from start to finish and the staff were very much in character! The self guided tour was good as you could wonder around as much as you wanted - we enjoyed a nice coffee and cake afterwards :)

Wouldn’t recommend! - The worst escape room we’ve ever been. The clues were poor & we were missing one of them. Freezing cold and no guided tour provided as arranged, we were just told to look around if we want.

Awful experience - This booking was not passed onto the venue. We arrived with the staff having no knowledge of us and no availability on the day accommodate us. The venue were very apologetic and tried to help us. Customer services at Viator have also tried to help but ultimately we had a wasted 3 hr round trip that was a Christmas present for my parents.
