About
Have you ever fancied yourself as a spy? Or maybe even as a wizard needing to find his way out of the infamous alley? Here at The Escapologist in Xscape you could make your fantasy become reality!
For those of you yet to visit, there is nothing to fear apart from the spine-tingling experiences of the most haunted escape room… The Escapologist are proud of their heavily immersive themed escape rooms, all escape rooms include various puzzles, mystery’s and more! Each room has its own story line, so take a peek behind the doors…
The Rooms
The Cell: Save Santa!
For the past week, people have been noticing Santa doing some very un-Santa-like things. He’s been seen sneaking around, tipping over snowmen, mixing up mail, and even putting candy canes in people’s shoes! The townspeople, and even the police, think Santa has been acting very silly and naughty.
But you know the truth… It wasn’t Santa at all – it was the Grinch in a Santa disguise!
Santa is stuck in the town police station while the Grinch and his mischievous helper are hiding somewhere with the sleigh launch code, feeling very proud of themselves.
You must uncover the truth, prove Santa’s innocence, and track down the missing launch code before the Grinch can use it to ruin Christmas. The clock is ticking, the snow is falling, and the magic of Christmas needs your help.

Vertic Alley and The Parlour of Secrets

Ever After
This game is a “separated game” where players are split into to two groups and play in their own fairy tales, while you still must very much work as a team, and work together to escape and restore the magic to each fairy tale!
Welcome to a New and Magical World, and one like no other, just like something out of a story book! After being separated you might be wondering where the rest of your team have gotten to, and it may be that you are going to have to work your way through these different magical fairy tale realms to find them! Your biggest challenge, however, is that all the fairy tales appear to have lost their magic, can you restore the fairy tales to their magical glory or will the Evil Queen have her wicked way and trap you for good!
🧑 Suitable for 2-5 players, any age
👩🦽 This room is NOT wheelchair accessible. This room also requires all players to have the ability to crawl.
Some games may include variations in lighting and sound, such as flashing lights and loud noises. If you have any sensory sensitivities or concerns, please inform a member of the team upon arrival, before your game begins.
