Practical Information
Parking
No on-site parking available. Closest paid car park is at the Co-op in Ryde town centre (4 Anglesea St, Ryde PO33 2SX). Pay-and-display parking is also available at Quay Road car park. Closest on-street parking is on residential roads near the venue, but check visitor restrictions.
Accessibility
The escape room is within a confined space in an original part of a historic building not previously used other than as a burial crypt. Regrettably because of the nature of its existing layout, and previous purpose, it is not suitable for wheelchairs. Please expect some low height ceilings and passages, low lighting, and cold temperatures.
Pet Policy
No pets allowed
Food & Drink
No food or drinks allowed inside the game. Recommend visiting nearby bars and restaurants afterwards.
Quick Actions
Tips & Advice
- Arrive at least 10 minutes before your scheduled booking time to allow for check-in and briefing.
- Wear comfortable shoes and layers, as the crypt can be cold year-round due to its underground location.
- Plan your parking in advance, as on-site parking is not available. The Co-op car park or Quay Road car park are nearby options.
- Ensure your team is not under the influence of alcohol, as entry will be refused to maintain the integrity of the game.
- If you have any medical conditions or accessibility concerns, contact the organizers in advance to discuss your visit.
