Project Escape Middlesbrough Live Escape Rooms

Today we had two brave souls take on the dark.
Team: M&A

They went in working well as a team to decipher the puzzles left behind in the dark and keeping their minds open to the tricky tasks at hand.

Even with the unsettling atmosphere and unwanted presences in the room with them, they kept their determination to beat the clock and escape the nightmare…
But was it enough to stop the spirits from taking them into the dark for good?

Even with all their hard work and intelligence, unfortunately they did not escape and had to accept their fate. They did really well and weren’t far off from getting out. You should both be so proud of yourselves and we hope to see you again soon.

This afternoon we had a team of 6 who attempted an escape room today here at Project Escape Middlesbrough, taking on the strange and twisted world of The Upside Down. Team Vecnas Bosses arrived with a mixture of experienced escapers and brave newcomers, all ready to face whatever lurked beyond the walls. After a quick scout around and a few moments of “where do we even start?”, they soon got stuck in. The team even resorted to a game of rock, paper, scissors to decide who would become the next victim of the darkness, proving early on that bravery may have been in short supply, but laughs certainly were not.

During the first half of the game, the team took their time adjusting to the eerie atmosphere and puzzling mysteries that The Upside Down had to throw at them. Communication stayed strong throughout as ideas bounced from one side of the room to the other. They may have hit a few stumbling blocks along the way, but their determination never faded. Every clue found brought more excitement, and before long the team began assigning roles naturally, with everyone pulling their weight and working brilliantly together.

As the pressure began to rise in the second half, so did the tension. There were a few moments of frustration as the clock ticked down and Vecna seemed to tighten his grip, but this team refused to give up. Their teamwork remained outstanding, their determination unwavering, and after an intense final push they managed to escape with just 2 minutes and 37 seconds remaining. Safe to say they didn’t just survive The Upside Down, they conquered it.

From start to finish, Team Vecnas Bosses were an absolute pleasure to host. Full of laughs, brilliant teamwork and plenty of determination, they proved that even when things get strange, sticking together is the best weapon you’ve got. Congratulations on your escape, and remember… if you hear a clock chiming again, maybe don’t answer it.

Our next team of detectives to feel they are able to crack case of Sherlocks Manor today was the team "Peaky Blinders".

Eager to take on the challenge of this cold case the team soon got to work getting stuck into their first few puzzles in no time flat. Working well as a team and making full use of their numbers the team spread across the room trying their hand and a number of puzzles before taking on the few they thought would be best hoping uncover the secrets that's lay hidden away in the long forgotten Manor.

With the team giving it their all they managed to move on further into the manor soon been met by even more puzzles they kept their wits about them and pressed on. Worried they may be soon running out of time they made one final push to conquer each of the manors last few mysteries and brain busters pushing the team to the limit and as a result finally across the finish line with a solid 10:58 left on the clock earning them the current 2nd place on the monthly leaderboard.

We hope you enjoyed your time with us today here at project escape and that you may return in the future to take on another of our rooms!

This afternoon we had team “Mulroy Gang” take on the upside down.

Walking in full of confidence, this brave group of 5 entered the upside down and faced the challenges thrown their way, but could they find their way out?

At the start, they started off really strong, splitting off into smaller groups to discover each puzzle efficiently.
They came face to face with some familiar faces and worked well as a team to overcome their challenges, but… Vecna was getting closer by the second.

Did he end up catching you or could you get away from him in time?

Working as a team, they managed to escape the upside down by defeating all the puzzles that stood in their way, with only 2 minutes left on the clock. A massive well done to the team. You should be hugely proud of yourselves. We hope you had a lot of fun and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
