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 2-7 players. Larger groups split across rooms and play at the same time, then compare times afterwards. We can take 32 people at once across the venue.
Timing and booking
Father’s Day is a Sunday and our afternoon slots go first. Prices are per person and come down as the team grows, from £25 each.
Getting here
The last archway under Warrington Central. Leave the station, turn left under the bridge, then left onto Crown Street. For sat nav use the street address, not the postcode.
Limited on-street parking on Crown Street. Cockhedge Shopping Centre behind us has plenty, and there are two pay and display car parks opposite Central Station.
