Get the shape right first
Away days that work follow the same rhythm: something active while everyone is still sharp, food in the middle, something lighter after. An escape room sits best late morning or straight after lunch, when people are awake but not yet watching the clock.
Allow an hour and a half per game, including the briefing and photos.
Work out the numbers
Each room takes 2-7 players. Larger groups split across rooms and play at the same time, then compare times afterwards. We can take 20 people at once across the venue.
Teams of four to six are the sweet spot. Below four a room feels quiet, and above seven people start watching rather than playing.
Mix the teams up
Put people with colleagues they do not normally sit near. The whole point is watching your team solve something with people they have never solved anything with, and it is the quiet ones who usually turn out to be good at it.
Book the activity before the restaurant
Game slots on a Friday afternoon go weeks ahead, and a table is far easier to move than six game slots. Get the rooms held, then build lunch around them.
Getting here
Just inside Somerton Business Park on Bancombe Road, first left after the estate map board, opposite Avalon Sciences.
A large forecourt with plenty of free parking right outside the door.
The admin bit
Tell us your numbers, your date and any access needs and we will hold the rooms while you get it signed off. We invoice, so nobody has to put it on a personal card.
Prices are per person and come down as the team grows, from £26 each.
