Stratford-upon-Avon, United Kingdom•4.8(281)•Escape Room

Solve puzzles and uncover secrets in themed escape rooms designed for families and groups, including a Shakespeare-inspired adventure and a magical fantasy experience.

Escape Live Stratford-upon-Avon offers immersive escape room experiences set in imaginative themed environments. The venue features two main games: Shakespeare's Script, the world's first Shakespeare escape room where players help find the bard's lost play in a recreation of Shakespeare's home, and The Chalice of Champions, a magical fantasy room where visitors become witches and wizards tracking down artefacts to undo an ancient curse. Each escape room experience lasts one hour, with an additional 30 minutes allocated for arrival and departure procedures. The venue is designed to accommodate groups of up to six people per room, with the option to run games back-to-back for larger parties. Games Masters guide players through the experience and offer post-game walkthroughs if the group doesn't escape. Escape Live is suitable for families, friends, corporate team building events, and special occasions including birthday parties, hen and stag events, and festive celebrations. The venue welcomes visitors aged 10 and above and offers gift vouchers valid for 12 months. Online booking is required, and the location is conveniently situated in Stratford-upon-Avon town centre with nearby parking options available.

Dee was a great host, very friendly and helpful. The rooms were innovative and challenging and we would have put 5 stars if there was some air conditioning or ventilation. The crazy 30 degree heat meant we struggled to enjoy the rooms which we are sure, under other circumstances, we would have enjoyed.

Escape Live Stratford – What an incredible experience! Well, what can I say? What an absolutely amazing place. We booked it for four of us — and even though my wife isn’t usually a fan of escape rooms, I’ve never seen her get so involved and enjoy herself this much! The staff were fantastic from start to finish — friendly, passionate, and really made the whole experience feel special. The first room we tried, Chariot, was abstract, clever, and full of surprises. We got pretty far, but didn’t quite complete it. As we were leaving, they kindly offered us the chance to try the Shakespeare Script room for half price — which was such a lovely touch. Both rooms had costumes to wear, which added a fun and theatrical twist. We laughed the whole way through and couldn’t stop talking about it afterwards. We nearly escaped the second room too… apart from me missing something very important (still not living that down!).

Very good escape room. Our game hostess was very good and made our experience very pleasant. We were worried that it would require a lot of encyclopedic knowledge of Shakespeare's plays to complete, but not at all, it was very well balanced. We found a very enjoyable mix of puzzles and we definitely recommend this place.

We introduced our friends to their first room escape (we did the Shakespeare Room) and all had a great time... the puzzles are a good level of difficulty without being frustrating/annoying and if you've done a few rooms before you'll pick up the pace pretty quickly. The staff there are incredibly friendly & helpful and really make everyone feel gee'd up for the room - shout out to D (our host), great job! Great layout, well themed room... definitely recommended. Oh... and we escaped! :)
