Number 669 has just gone up for sale…
Creaky floorboards.
A bubbling cauldron.
And a previous owner who may or may not have melted in the bath.
You’ve booked a viewing.
But the cottage has a few tricks up its sleeve.

Another really fun room from escapable (made even better by the teammate). Some really interesting and unique puzzles too.

Brilliant room, very new so lots of great high tech additions which we enjoyed.

As always lots of magnetic style locks which we love.

Definitely recommend.

Great economical game. Everything seems to have its place and it flowed very well. We played as a 4 but think it would suit 2 perfectly. Some of the theming and mechanics are funny/clever. Great little game.

As ever with Escapable, this spooky-themed room is witty, funny and a little but daft at times, with an immaculate set and a lovely range of puzzles. The haunted house tropes are there but in a family-friendly way that makes a refreshing change to the usual spooky fayre with nothing to horrify or scare but plenty to do.

For reasons unknown, this room took us an age - we missed some straightforward bits and bobs that would have saved us a lot of time but that's a reflection on us, not the room! Its perfectly do-able as a two and, it being a fairly small space, it certainly favours the smaller teams. 

Props to Sam for being such a pleasant host and to Mike for taking the time to talk me through any jump scares that could terrify this pregnant woman!

Sam was great as our host. The game was beautiful, certainly the kid friendly type of 'scary'. We had a blast playing

We was lucky enough to be a able to test run this game. The theme was done to a high standard as always. Hosting was brilliant too. A very good room for beginner's and enthusiasts alike

Another fabulous experience from the wonderful team at Escapable! For Sale’m is fun, immersive and packed with originality. The concept is refreshingly different, with a clever blend of humour and suspense that kept us grinning (and thinking!) the whole way through.

The puzzles were smart, varied and flowed beautifully. Every challenge had a purpose and fit perfectly within the story. As always the hosting was top-tier - welcoming and attentive.

Finally, a horror room that's not really horror! It is more Scooby Doo than Paramormal Activity, and we loved that about this game. It has some fantastic cultural references, and some great puzzles too. A fun room to play, well worth a visit if you're in Wakefield; whilst other Escapable games rate higher than this one, this is a fun one to tackle.
