HOW DOES IT WORK?
STEP ONE:
You tell us the occasion.
A birthday, proposal, away day, anniversary, or something stranger and who it’s for. We’ll ask the right questions, get a sense of scale, and talk it through properly to understand what kind of experience would land best.
STEP TWO:
We design your adventure.
We come back to you with options. Different flavours, different scales, and different ways the adventure could unfold, all clearly mapped out and explained, without spoiling anything you want to experience fresh.
STEP THREE:
We make it happen.
Once the outline of the adventure is agreed, we take care of the rest: designing puzzles, writing story, rehearsing actors, hiding clues, and building the experience you’ve chosen.
WHAT'S AN ADVENTURE?
Well, that's part of the fun. Adventures can take many forms, including:
Treasure hunts are a way of seeing a place differently.
We’ve led players through country manor grounds disguised as a self-guided audio tour, and across London searching for clues to locate a missing groom before his wedding. They can span a city, a building, or a whole vacation. Ideal for proposals, anniversaries, or turning a familiar place into something new.
Commercial Escape Rooms often follow a familiar pattern.
We design Escape Games from scratch, built around the people playing and the space they’re in. We’ve turned entire houses into multi-room escapes, and even constructed one in a theatre, complete with stage lighting and a one-to-one recreation of the client’s childhood bedroom as the finale.
10 years ago, our first ever event was a 24-person murder mystery weekend in a mansion. The doctor did it!
We design mysteries that actually work: social deduction, puzzles, secrets, and enough structure to make sense. From space settings to cults to twisted Golden Age whodunnits, these are immersive, participatory experiences with real decisions and real consequences.
A blend of puzzles, mystery, and performance that can shape a day, a weekend, or longer.
One of our most ambitious projects so far was a two-day immersive story set at a fictional leadership retreat, complete with a murdered CEO and a fireworks show at the finale. These experiences can be subtle or theatrical, playful or unsettling; always designed to be stepped into, not watched from the sidelines.
Fast, social, and gloriously chaotic.
We run everything live, feeding out location-based clues in real time, tracking leaderboards, and adding twists as the day unfolds. You might be sent to collect a mysterious parcel from a stranger in the park. A whispered passphrase to the right waiter produces a flaming dessert with a hidden message. I won’t tell you what happens if you whisper it to the wrong one.
ARGs, or Augmented Reality Games, blend online puzzles with moments that spill out into the real world.
We design long-form puzzle experiences using bespoke websites, hidden clues, and collaborative problem-solving, played solo or in teams over days or weeks. These adventures can unfold gradually, encouraging discussion, speculation, and shared discovery. Ideal for building anticipation around launches.
