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 our 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


D3lir1um


While this game falls within the “Horror” Category, there are no jump scares or live actors present within the game.


Some Secrets are Best left Buried… 1931 and the institute may have closed its doors for good but its sinister acts live on! Can you still hear the screams? The price of freedom may be more than you expected…


👩‍🦽 This room is wheelchair accessible.


Operation Slimeworth A Heist Too Far


The world’s Greatest Double agent just pulled off the world’s best Double Cross! Francis Slimeworth has made off with your share of the loot in a “job” gone wrong! So with your Team assembled, it’s time to go head-to-head with the best in the business and beat him at his own game; break into his private vault, steal back the loot and slip out unnoticed…


It’s time to act as you undertake… Operation Slimeworth: A Heist too Far!


👩‍🦽 This room is wheelchair accessible (however, players should be aware there is one “Doorway” in this game that is slightly narrower than the average sized door).


The Cell


Locked up for a crime you didn’t even commit! But the justice system don’t wanna hear it. A cell mate saw where the idiot guards leave their I.D Cards for the doors, surely you can at least manage to nick one, although the guard changeover is in only 30 minutes,


At the beginning of this game 1 player is “Chained” up as part of the theme, however they are in no way separated from the other players and still have to opportunity to work together with their group to escape not only their chains but also the game.


👩‍🦽 This room is NOT wheelchair accessible.


Vertic Alley and The Parlour of Secrets


Oh no! One wrong turn and down the wrong alley you went… No spell book or wand with you, and no idea where you are! With just your wits about you, you’re going to have to puzzle your way through the shops and uncover the mysteries of the Parlour of Secrets in time – you’ve got a very important train to catch after all, and you’d better not be late!


👩‍🦽 This room is wheelchair accessible.


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!


👩‍🦽 This room is NOT wheelchair accessible. This room also requires all players to have the ability to crawl.
