Why half term is hard
It is too short to go away and too long to do nothing. Everyone local has the same week off, so the usual places are full of the same families having the same afternoon.
An hour, booked, done
One slot, sixty minutes, no queuing and no wandering around hoping. 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.
What ages get the most out of it
Eight and up with an adult. Ten and up start solving things on their own. Teenagers are the ideal age for it and the least likely to admit it.
Booking
Half term daytime slots go quickly, particularly the wet days. Prices are per person and come down as the team grows, from £26 each.
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.
