Devon Escape

Newton Abbot, United Kingdom•5(326)•Escape Room

Solve puzzles and crack cases in immersive escape rooms designed for families, friends and teams in central Newton Abbot.

Devon Escape offers three immersive escape room experiences set in thrilling scenarios that challenge visitors to use logic, critical thinking and teamwork to solve puzzles within 60 minutes. The rooms include D-Day for Devon, where players join the Home Guard to stop an enemy invasion; Death on Dartmoor, a murder mystery where teams must crack a case and locate hostages; and Prison Break: Uprising, where players must escape execution and spark a rebellion. Designed for groups of 2-7 people, the escape rooms are based on logic and critical thinking with minimal physical activity required, making them accessible to most visitors. While everyone is welcome, the venue notes that children under 12 may find some puzzles complex, and all children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Each session begins with a health and safety briefing followed by the 60-minute challenge. Located in central Newton Abbot, Devon Escape is easily accessible from Torquay, Paignton, Brixham and Totnes, and within an hour of Plymouth and Exeter. The venue caters to families seeking holiday activities, friends looking for unique adventures, birthday parties, and corporate team-building events. Gift vouchers are available for special occasions.

We had a great time playing ‘Death On Dartmoor! Our host Amelia was welcoming, great fun and full of energy. The room was quite ‘old school’ in a good way… with lots of padlocks, codes etc to find and unlock! My only slight criticism was that in our team of four, as the room is fairly linear there was not a lot of activities that the team could divide and conquer ! I’d definitely go back to play the other rooms !

Absolutely fantastic escape room! I have done a few rooms in different places but have never been to this one before. Decided to take my family here for my Dad’s 80th birthday as they had a D-Day themed room. The room leader Amelia was absolutely fantastic from the minute we entered the building. We were all laughing from the get go, really getting into character and she got us excited to do the room. The room itself was really well laid out and had lots of different puzzles to work out, with added drama when we thought we’d finished. It’s a linear room and Amelia radioed in only a few times when we were getting a bit stuck. Luckily we escaped in time! My whole family loved it and we will be definitely be back to do another room soon. Thank you so much Amelia for making our day, and my Dad’s birthday (especially when you gave him an impromptu birthday card at end!). Loved it!

Myself and a group of friends (4 in total) came here for something a little different, we all love history so we did the D-Day room and it was amazing. So well thought out and accessible but challenging at the same time. Indie (& Captain Duckworthy (DuckyBoy as I came to nickname him…!)) was an incredible host. They made us feel super welcome and comfortable and helped out if and when we needed it but allowed us the opportunity to discover the clues ourselves. There were many different clues dotted around which kept us on our toes. There were two more rooms which we would love to do and Indie said they are hoping to make some more rooms - we will definitely be back. Indie also took and printed us a photo to take home - the most incredible personal souvenirs. We would 1000% recommend for groups looking for something fun and different. Amazing memories made and we will be back! Thank you so much Indie!!

Me and three of my friends recently visited your escape rooms, and it was genuinely the best experience we’ve ever had. We first played Death on Dartmoor, and from the moment we arrived, the host/owner completely brought the experience to life. He was incredibly welcoming, fully in character, and clearly passionate about what he does. The puzzles were brilliant—challenging, clever, and had us properly thinking (and struggling at times!), but we managed to escape in the end. After a short break, we went on to play the D-Day room, and somehow the experience got even better. The host had completely transformed again—dressed up with a fake moustache and in full WWII character. His energy, enthusiasm, and commitment to the role made the whole experience unforgettable. He struck the perfect balance between immersing us in the story and giving just enough help when we needed it. As a group, we all agreed that what really made this stand out was the host himself. You don’t always come across someone so dedicated, passionate, and genuinely invested in making sure everyone has a great time. Thank you for such an amazing experience—we’ll definitely be recommending this to others!
