Twenty years ago, six paranormal investigators, armed with state-of-the-art ghost hunting equipment, entered the infamous 43 Paradise Row - East Londonโ€™s most haunted house - to discover the dark secrets which lurk within these blood-stained walls. What did they discover? We have no idea! They went missing that night and were never seen or heard from again.This is the UKs largest non-linear escape room. Set across nine rooms over two floors you will have 90 minutes to complete a series of fun puzzles, challenges and activities to discover what happened to these six missing ghost hunters and finally lay to rest a mystery which has puzzled the ghost hunting community for more than two decades.

Stressful(small team), spooky, immersive.

Play while you can! This one is going away and we had a great time. The GM was awesome. He spooked us so many times!  

Clever puzzles and great tech. You don't know what lies through that next door!

Superb experience, decent escape room. We did the 90-minute experience. Iโ€™m still waiting for a horror room to properly give me a scare but this one was probably the joint-closest to do with Seance in Wakefield. Loved the concept - an escape room in a whole house - you have one main puzzle per room. Theyโ€™re not tricky puzzles although we made them trickier by overthinking. The puzzles arenโ€™t the star here though, itโ€™s the set and some pretty cool special effects throughout that I wonโ€™t spoil here. There is a physical element at the end of the experience but there is a way to bypass although it does break the immersion somewhat. From how the host described it, you can usually have more than one team in the house at once . Iโ€™m not sure how much Iโ€™d have liked that but I guess folk screaming elsewhere might have made it a bit more chilling. 

Reviews by escape room review sites

The Haunted House was an interesting experience and I think it would be fascinating to see how it is run with the maximum 48 players. One thing that was clear from our experience was that ScreamWorks are constantly experimenting and developing their offering, so there is a good chance that your experience could be slightly different to ours.
Horror House is such a great escape room and definitely up there as one of the most immersive escape experiences Iโ€™ve done. Itโ€™s got the right level of creepiness whilst being engaging and fun and it is ideal for those who want to try something a bit more scary without having a live actor in the room with you.
