When Josh Baskin returned home after his "Big" adventure, he took more than he should, he took an exciting prototype toy from MacMillan Toys.
You are the competition and you want that prototype!
His bedroom - that must be where he's hidden it.
Can you find the toy and escape in 60 minutes?

Great nods to the film 'Big' of which this room is loosely based and some really fun moments throughout. Nostalgia fuelled too which is a +

Really enjoyed this game, it isn’t necessarily the most mentally challenging game, but there is lots to do and is great fun! There are a couple of physical/skill challenges in it that won’t be to everyone’s taste. GM and owner were really welcoming and lovely to talk to and happy to accommodate us as a walk in.

I’m a sucker for rooms that play on 80s nostalgia so it was probably a given that I would like this game. If you’re looking for a light-hearted game, then for sheer fun you’ll be hard pressed to find something more appropriate than Shimmy Shimmy.
If Conspiracist is a complex headscratching composition with myriad strands and a slightly sinister edge then SSCP is a joyous wodge of bubblegum pop, to get you skipping about, despite yourself, wearing a big goofy grin.
The 80’s themed Shimmy Shimmy Cocoa Pop is a fun packed hour that will be a trip down memory lane for many! Rate the Escapes review this playful escape room.
