A new immersive entertainment attraction in Broadgate, Coventry is weeks away from launching as Escape Reality prepares to open its doors… but have you got what it takes to escape in time?
Imagine being locked in a Coventry City Centre building with up to 5 of your friends or family for up to one hour and having to escape as quickly as possible. This definitely sounds sinister but is actually a new and growing in popularity type of entertainment soon to be found at Escape Reality in Broadgate, Coventry.
If 60 minutes of adrenalin-filled, tricky puzzle solving, clue spotting – sounds like your cup of tea, you should plan a visit to this new City entertainment venue. Your adventure starts jovially as you relax with your team mates in a cosy bar area, sipping fizz and beers whilst talking strategy before entering your chosen room. Escape Reality offers a complete experience in that it provides a relaxing social space to talk pre-escape room tactics and to mingle with fellow players after the game rooms have been played.
There are six uniquely themed rooms with varying levels of difficulty ensuring there is something for everyone from beginners to seasoned escape room players. Many of the rooms are inspired by popular movies so if you are looking for an adventure how about attempting to find your way out of the Jumanji-inspired Jungala escape room? Criminal masterminds may wish to try their luck stealing a prized painting in The Heist and if you’d like to go back to the Victorian times, you could be a detective and try catching a killer in Murder in Whitechapel. If you ever wondered what it’s like to be locked up in a prison, you and your cellmates could be attempting a prison break from the Alcatraz room. Thriller fans might choose to experience The Asylum and for horror fans the Scarlett room has some creepy dolls in waiting.
Escape Reality provides a truly team building and bonding experience testing how strangers, colleagues, students and friends can pool their strengths and work well together. In this scenario 60 minutes does pass surprisingly quickly.
Escape rooms are a relatively new entertainment concept, but the public is driving demand for more immersive, group based activities which can be played with families, friends and colleagues attracting a huge age range of players from teenagers up to aged 60.
The people behind the brand are a small, young and dynamic team of designers, game masters and props specialists who are truly passionate about creating an amazing experience for others. According to Escape Reality “Nothing brings us more joy than to see our rooms and ideas being enjoyed. A great deal of meticulous planning has gone into the game flow which incorporates new technology, mechanical puzzles and realistic props and we thoroughly enjoy the whole process of creating our rooms. We have also emphasised heavily on the theming of our rooms to give our customers a truly immersive and realistic experience, as though you’ve been transported into a whole different world.”
The venue will soon be running a competition to win free tickets to the official launch party on Tuesday 27 June 2017, where you will be able to try the experience first-hand. Watch out for a chance to win tickets on the Escape Reality Coventry Facebook, Instagram and Twitter channels.
The venue will be open for business from next Friday 16 June 2017 and can be found in the former Bridge Restaurant next to the Peeping Tom clock overlooking the iconic Lady Godiva statue. Once the Coventry venue opens it joins existing Escape Reality sites in Leicester, Cardiff, Leeds, Glasgow, Dubai and soon to be opened Las Vegas with Chicago, Edinburgh and Birmingham also set to open later this year.
