Ely’s first pop-up Escape Room is coming to Oliver Cromwell’s House at the weekend.

The premise is: locate clues, solve puzzles and find the golden key within 60 minutes to complete the mission and escape otherwise guards will return…

“Gather friends, family or colleagues together and see how well you work together in this fun but challenging activity that will be a talking point for weeks to come,” say organisers.

“This is the perfect activity to celebrate a special occasion such as a birthday or anniversary or just an excuse for a memorable activity.”

Popular worldwide, Escape Rooms is being presented by “Puzzle Master” for the first event of its kind in Ely.

Sessions cost £80 and are ideally suited for between four and eight people.

Bookings are being taken for 11.30am, 1pm, 2.30pm and 4pm slots on Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 September, and October 1 and 2.
