Breakin' Escape Rooms - The most innovative and interactive Escape Rooms in London

About the Game

The rules are simple, escaping is hard.

Escape within 60 minutes

The principle of the game is simple, you are locked in a room with your team and your goal is to manage to escape within 60 minutes.

LOOK AROUND

You need to use all the resources and clues you find available in the room. Every object, every image, every sign could lead you to the next step and play a role in finding your way out.

USE YOUR MIND

By using your mind and your group’s collective intelligence you must make sense of all the information and make your way through the storyline so as to not get stuck and manage to exit the room before the time runs out.

ASK FOR HELP

If you get stuck at a certain point, don’t panic, you can ask for clues! Just bear in mind that if you exceed 3 clues during a game that you cannot make it onto the fabled Breakin’ Leaderboard. Ask your Games Master for more information before your game!

TEAMWORK

The game can be played by groups of 2 to 6 people, the minimum age requirement being 16 for unaccompanied minors. This is the perfect team activity for colleagues wishing to spend some time outside the office, families and groups of friends who want to have a great time!

ENGAGING EXPERIENCE

Unlike any other escape room venue, Breakin’ offers the most interactive and engaging experiences by bringing you into a world of mystery where every aspect of the story has been carefully designed so as to become a memory you will never forget!

Drakker's goons have tracked down the location of Blackwing's secret base and riddled it with an onslaught of fiendishly twisted puzzles, trapping you - Blackwing's trusty sidekicks - inside. They've hacked the security systems against you and planted an explosive surprise in the darkness...
Time is running out. Blackwing cannot battle Drakker alone. Outwit the booby-traps, defuse the bombs, escape the cave and reunite your superhero family.

Sherlock’s Despair

21st of October 1891, London. A dark silence hangs over 221B Baker Street. The great detective Sherlock Holmes has been discovered dead, washed up in the gutters outside a seedy East End opium den. Without his nemesis, the wicked Professor James Moriarty plots world domination from the shadows. You - Sherlock's oldest friends and faithful assistants - are now the only hope of stopping him. You've received a mysterious telegram saying that somewhere, hidden in Sherlock's study, is a file he compiled on Moriarty's evil plans. If this is true, it must be discovered and delivered to Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard within the hour. Prove your mettle as Baker Street's finest by tracking down the file, outsmarting the Napoleon of Crime, and solving the case. The plot thickens, but the game's afoot!

The Flying Dutchman

Avast ye! Tell me, shark-bait, have you heard the legend of The Flying Dutchman? That dreaded ship captained by the sea-devil Davy Jones and his undead pirate crew? You'd best start believing in ghost stories... you're in one! After your ship sinks in a great tempest you awake aboard the Dutchman. If you don't escape before sunrise you'll be trapped aboard her forever. Legend tells of a mythical diamond - the Heart of Calypso - which can break the curse. It's hidden somewhere on the lower decks. The sun rises in an hour. So shiver your timbers, swash your buckles, and batten down the hatches. You need to discover the diamond to escape the ship and a watery doom!

War on Horizon Alpha

The galaxy is in peril, trapped under the cyborg fist of the feared Alpha One faction. The imperial regime rules from the space-fortress codenamed Horizon Alpha, a terrifying superweapon with an impenetrable security system.

You are a plucky band of rebels - the best in the parsec - chosen to infiltrate the Horizon Alpha. In 60 minutes a massive rebel fleet will arrive through hyperspace and fire on the base, but you must manually deactivate the shields if this daring assault is to work.

Grab your laser-swords. Arm your blasters. Complete the mission and escape before the Horizon Alpha is reduced to atoms. Good luck, you're our only hope!

Butcher’s Lair

Dr Vladimir Knifesblade: university professor by day, serial killer by night. He's an educated man - he knows his classical music, his literature, and which bits of the human body taste best. The FBI have nicknamed him 'The Butcher'.

A simple dinner party invitation to you - some of his favourite students - fails to mention that you're the main ingredient on the menu tonight. You've become The Butcher's latest victims, or at least you will be if you don't escape from his bloody basement lair.
You have 60 minutes before the doctor begins cooking. Only the brightest brains survive... the rest get eaten with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

So be smart and don't be lasagne.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question? Please use the button below to ask us
anything and we will get back to you shortly. Ask a Question! Ask a Question!

Q:What measures are you taking in response to Covid19 and reopening safely?
A: We have changed the entire structure of our games timetable to ensure social distancing of groups is possible and to give our staff adequate time to disinfect all surfaces within our rooms. We also ask that all customers (staff too) wear face masks or coverings at all times while inside the building and that everyone washes their hands thoroughly before and after their games. If you have any specific concerns, please do not hesitate in calling us!
Q:Do I need to wear a mask when I come?
A: Yes, we do require that all customers wear masks the entire time they are inside the building. This includes while inside the rooms themselves. By doing so it will greatly help in keeping our other customers and team members safe during the Covid19 Pandemic. If you are medically exempt from wearing a mask we kindly ask that you can bring an exemption card/badge (which can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/face-coverings-when-to-wear-one-and-how-to-make-your-own). We thank you in advance for your understanding and co-operation in these difficult times!
Q: What if I get stuck on a puzzle?
A: A staff member will be monitoring your progress on CCTV ready to provide you with clues when needed so as to move forward in the game.
Q: What do I need to bring with me?
A: All you need is a working brain.
Q: Can we play the same room more than once?
A: Yes, you could, but you will already know the solutions to all the puzzles, so you will not be eligible for the Hall of Fame as you will escape really fast. Usually if you fail to escape within the allocated 60 minutes but you are close to the end, we will let you finish the game. If you succeed to escape, try your skills in the other rooms, we have 6 completely different stories!
Q: What time should I arrive?
A:Instructions will be provided in the confirmation email that you will receive once you have made the booking online. Usually you should arrive 15 minutes before your reservation time for a short training and introduction session. Please try not to be late as the reservations are fixed time intervals.
Q: How can I book one of your rooms?
A: Reservations can only be made online through our website. For parties, team-building activities and other events you can send us an email to info@breakinescaperooms.co.uk and we’ll be happy to help!
Q: How can I pay?
A: Payments are only made online when booking a timeslot. If you would like to add players to your team for a pre-existing booking you can also pay by cash at our venue.
Q: What is the minimum age to participate??
A: The minimum age to participate unaccompanied by an adult is 16. Under 16's need to have at least one adult participant in the room with them during the game.
Q: Can I bring a 7th player?
A: In 6 of our themed rooms you can add an extra 7th player. The only room where this is not possible is our Wizarding School room; for health and safety reasons. Do keep in mind that while it is possible, for a more enjoyable experience we wholeheartedly recommend splitting a team of 7 between 2 different rooms as this means each player will have more to do and enjoy the rooms as they were intended!
Q: What happens if we are running late for our booking?
A: Depending on how late you are running could mean a number of different options. If you cannot make it 15 minutes earlier than your game time - as we request - this normally shouldn’t affect your game. However, any later than this and we may either have to deduct time from your game or if you are 15 minutes later than the game starting time itself, we may have to cancel the game entirely with no refund.
