TRAPP’D – THE STORY SO FAR!!

12 August 2021 - news

Have you ever fancied yourself as a dragon slayer?  Or maybe even as an explorer in the depths of the jungle?  Fed up of staring at the same four walls?  Well, at Trapp’d you could make your fantasy a reality!

My name is Hope and I am a Games Master at Trapp’d Real Life Escape Rooms.  “What’s a Games Master?” I hear you cry!  Well, my job is to watch and listen to you, our customers, at all times whilst you complete one our unique escape room experiences.  I realise that sounds very strange, maybe even a little creepy… but I promise I am here to help and give you a friendly nudge in the right direction with any hints you might need to successfully escape.  There’s absolutely no shame in asking for a bit of help either, even us Games Masters need clues from time to time when attempting a puzzle (although we’re a very stubborn breed and don’t like to admit it!).  However, before visiting one of our branches and meeting your cheery Games Master, you’ll first need to know what you’re letting yourself in for!

For those of you who are yet to visit us, there is nothing to fear; unlike the films of the same name, escape rooms really aren’t life or death situations.  We consider each of our experiences to be a unique and immersive adventure with the purpose of getting your brain working and making sure you have fun!  With a minimum of two and a maximum of six players in your group, you will need to complete a series of brainteasers and challenges within a 60 minute timeframe to grant yourselves freedom.  If you’ve ever seen the Channel 4 show Crystal Maze before, you may have a vague idea of what to expect… Some of these puzzles will be cryptic, others more physically based and a good deal will be downright challenging!  But the sense of pride and achievement you’ll feel as you complete each stage provides an intense thrill.  So I suppose the next question is: which of our incredible rooms would you like to immerse yourself in first?

OUR ROOMS:

Abigail – Hallow’s House has always been an infamously haunted spot, with multiple disappearances and ghost sightings being reported on the site since the 1940s and, perhaps more harrowingly, since the death of young Abigail.  Being the thrill seekers you are, you and your pals enter the estate on Halloween night in the hopes of encountering a spirit or two.  Safe to say, you get more than you bargained for…
