What is MOVIESCAPE?

MOVIESCAPE rooms are movie theme rooms in which players (friends, families, colleagues) are locked in a themed room and have to solve problems in order to escape. You have 60 minutes to escape by solving puzzles and games.
Each of our rooms has a story (written by movie screen writers) which allows players to feel like they are in a movie for the duration of the game.

Why is moviESCAPE different from other escape rooms?

moviESCAPE rooms have been designed and built from scratch by movie makers. Each room has a unique design that matches its story. The props in our rooms have been custom made by industry professionals that have worked on major blockbuster movies including; Harry Potter, Avengers, World War Z, Pandora and countless other blockbusters.

Will it be too hard for me?

Most players come in small groups or pairs, and we see that each person brings something to the table. We offer clues should players need them and each room has a slightly different difficulty rating. We believe that every player has a different ability which will help them and the team during the game.

Regardless of whether you escape or not, we firmly believe you will love every second you spend in the game.

Who is moviESCAPE for?

Couples, groups of friends, colleagues, birthday celebrations, stag & hen do's corporate events… in fact anyone who wants to be challenged and have fun. Our first two rooms, ‘Haunted House’ and ‘SAWtopsy’ are themed around the horror genre so are unsuitable for young players. Family themed rooms will follow soon.

Is there an age restriction?

This is at your discretion. We do not recommend young children play as it can be scary. Each of our games is tailored to suit the player so if you want to bring children we can make the room less scary. 

Is it safe?

Absolutely. Each room has a designated member of staff that watches you via video cameras. This is not only for safety, but allows us to monitor your progress and provide help when required. While you may be ‘locked in’, there is a release switch that will allow the player to leave the room at anytime. We do not allow climbing and have made all the games/ puzzles and events as safe as possible.

Players must not break, smash or take apart anything, which means there is no risk.

At times certain  rooms may go dark, but this is part of the game and players have torches. This is just to add atmosphere. If we feel players might not enjoy this we wouldn't do it.

Is it scary?

Several of our rooms are horror themed so are designed to be a little scary. However, each game is different. The game hosts will tailor the game to suit all players, so, if you are very anxious and ask for no scares, we will oblige.We have several family games, please call is unsure

I heard some of the props are haunted, is this true?

We have spent 6 months building the ‘Haunted House’ room, sourcing props from all over the world. Several of our props have come from real haunted houses including ‘ The Amityville House’ and the ‘Enfield House’. While we do not believe the objects themselves are haunted, they are from real haunted places.

How many players per game?

Our minimum is 2 people per room and our maximum is 8. Our games are ideal for team building and encourage people to work together. We have even had people play rooms with strangers and they have forged friendships as a result of the shared experience.

So I play with strangers?

No. You book the room for you and your friends. Unlike some escape rooms we don’t put other people into your group.

Do I need to bring tools?

An odd question you may think, but we have been asked this on a few occasions. NO! Our games include problem solving, puzzle solving and that’s it. You do not have to… move heavy objects, rip anything, take things apart or similar. Your host will brief you before your game

I am claustrophobic, can I still play?

Yes, You are never truly locked in our rooms and they are quite large in comparison to many other local escape rooms.

Where is moviESACAPE?

Our current rooms are at Welkin Mill, Stockport. Only 3 minutes drive from the motorway and very close to Stockport centre. During office hours parking is opposite the mill (1 minute walk) but out of hours it is by the front door.

We chose Welkin Mill as our launch site because it offers an amazing atmospheric setting.

I have booked and need to change the date/ time. Can I do this?

Yes, but we do need advance notice. Once you book the room it means other people cannot do so. Therefore we do not offer refunds once you have booked, but if you give us at least 24 hours notice we can arrange an alternative date/ time for you, depending on availability.
