You’ve set sail on the Terra Nova expedition in hopes of being the first team to locate the South Pole, but on arrival at Hut Point you receive word that the Norwegian team, led by Roald Amundsen, are also on their way – and so the race is on!
You must prepare all the supplies, finalise the necessary research and pinpoint the exact location of your goal, all within one hour, in order to be the first ones there!
Does your crew have what it takes to survive in Antarctica and locate the South Pole?
An escape room game inspired by The Great British Antartic Expedition, and Cheltenham born explorer and Scientist Edward Wilson.

The games here at this lovely, independent escape room centre aren't big or particularly fancy but what is done so well here is invention and that personal touch that makes whatever you are doing feel a little bit special.
Being in a hut in Antarctica, there are lots of obvious trappings and nods to the theme that one would expect... and a few one wouldn't. One particular moment - no spoilers - was just... gorgeous.
Just didn't really get on with this game. We couldn't get a flow within the game but could understand how other teams could. We completed as a family of 4 and think it would suit adults only due to the standard of some of the puzzles.
This was a challenging escape room. Lots of challenges to get through, needed to work around the room separately in order to escape. Very detailed and good theming. Game master was great too! Will come back to do the easier and more challenging rooms at this location.
Some lovely physical puzzles and references to the South Pole expedition. A really good variety of tasks and one moment that I certainly won't forget in a while!
