Few people know about the Brighthelm Diamond, a jewel of epic value. It was purchased by four of Brighton’s most influential developers and has been hidden, for if ever the city was in dire need.
But now, Brighton is in danger of losing it, as its whereabouts have been revealed to the worst kind of people. It is only a matter of time before it is stolen and auctioned off. You must break into the jeweller where it is hidden and save the treasure for the sake of the city.
Can you and your team pull off this heroic heist to save a part of Brighton heritage?

Firstly, our GM Vik was fantastic! The game itself was simply brilliant, so much to do, immersive, tricky and totally worth it. Would highly recommend!

Brilliant quality escape room and in such a great setting! This game was fully immersive and had us hooked the moment the games host came to collect us! We have played most of the pier pressure games now but this was our favourite as very unique!!

Impressive set with a lot of variety and fun mechanics thrown in, a real blast with a great host. Our only nit-pick was we think for the reputation it has we expected some slightly more layered puzzles.

The hype around this escape room was spot on, a lovely game that played well and was at a high level all the way through. Enjoyed by our family of 4.

Reviews by escape room review sites
Loot The Lanes should need little introduction. It's occupied the #1 slot on this site's rankings of UK games for far longer than any of its rivals, and it was the highest ranked UK game in the TERPECA awards in 2019, 2020 and 2021. As a result it's been top of my list of games to play for an unconscionably long time, with a visit delayed by a combination of the pandemic and the fiddly logistics of organising a group for a Brighton trip. It officially requires at least four players, but is playa...
A beautiful room that's a joy to spend time in. The puzzles are well-presented, there are moments of theatre at several points and there's a clear finale that makes the game end on a high.
Loot the Lanes contains a real sense of awe that is often lacking in escape rooms and is a true testament to the team at Pier Pressure. Everything about this game is first rate and I can easily see why this game is consistently rated as the best, or one of the best in the UK. It’s a must play.
