Description

One of the most infamous serial killers in American history, Water White, AKA the “Night Stalker,” was reported dead of natural causes last year. According to rumours, another prisoner had discovered a mysterious machine in the cell of “Night Stalker”, and he then disappeared a few days later. You wake up one day, and find yourself locked in a cramped cell. You are cold and alone. Silence surrounds you. Suddenly, you realize this is the mysterious cell where the “Night Stalker” died. You heart is pounding . No matter if this is a game, you know your only goal is to escape.

With movie like sets , professionally designed puzzles and high tech props, Omescape is bringing the Live Escape Game to a whole new level. Give it a try – you won’t be disappointed!

WILL I ENJOY IT?

We think so! The games are an exciting race against the clock to escape in time. If you like the satisfaction of solving puzzles and working together in a team to complete a task, you’ll like our Live Escape Games. A lot of our customers also find it brings them closer together and they remember it for a long time after.

CAN WE ASK FOR HELP IF WE GET STUCK?

Yes of course. Your game master will monitor your progress and will provide hints when you need. However please be aware that in order to be counted as a winner you can only ask a limited amount of hints (varies by game).

I AM CLAUSTROPHOBIC, CAN I PLAY?

All our games have good size rooms with a reasonable ceiling height. Players are also free to exit the rooms at any time during the game. If requested, we can also keep the entrance door to the room open. Speak to any member of our team if you have any concerns.

CAN I BRING FOOD AND DRINK IN THE GAME?

Food and drink are NOT allowed in the game and alcohol is strictly forbidden. If we are seeing alcoholic behaviour we will reserve the right to turn the team member away and no refund will be given.

It was great fun! Booked as a surprise for one of our teammembers. I wanted one to give that great immersive feeling straight away. The place was very big, lots to find and do.

Elements of the game relied on team communication, but what's funnier than screaming at one another in a locked room?

As an escape room game master, it was interesting to see how other places work too, I really liked the various types of puzzles here ranging from physical to mental, something for everyone!

Our team of 4 had a great time! :) thank you!
