The problem with the present
He says he does not want anything and he means it. What he does want is the family doing something together, ideally something he can win.
Let him think he is leading
He will take charge of the padlocks. Someone else will quietly solve the actual puzzle. This is the correct outcome and makes for a good story on the way home.
Who can play
Each room takes 2-8 players. Larger groups split across rooms and play at the same time, then compare times afterwards. We can take 37 people at once across the venue.
Timing and booking
Father’s Day is a Sunday and our afternoon slots go first. Prices are for the whole team rather than per head, from £58 for a pair, so a full room is the best value.
Getting here
First floor at 402 Hook Rise North, above Toolstation beside the Shell garage on the Hook roundabout, just off the A3.
Seven free spaces at the front of the building, first come first served.
