Chelmsford, United Kingdom•5(524)•Escape Room

Solve puzzles and work together to escape from themed rooms in this thrilling indoor experience suitable for friends, families, and team building events.

Escape Live Chelmsford offers immersive escape room experiences where groups must work together to solve puzzles and unlock clues within a set time limit. The venue features three themed escape rooms: Sword in the Throne, a fantasy adventure involving warring kingdoms and hidden secrets; Escape the Jungle, where players are trapped inside a mysterious board game and transported to a strange jungle; and Star Quest, a space-themed challenge where teams must restore power to a spaceship before being pulled into a black hole. Each experience lasts up to one hour, with guests advised to allow 1.5 hours total from arrival to departure. The venue is suitable for a wide range of visitors including families, friends, corporate groups, and special occasions like hen and stag parties. Children under 10 may find some elements challenging, while those under 16 must be accompanied by a paying adult (18+). The rooms are designed to be fun rather than frightening, making them accessible to most age groups. Located on Duke Street in Chelmsford town centre, just one minute from the train station, Escape Live can accommodate large groups with advance notice. Gift vouchers are available for purchase online, valid for 12 months. Booking is required and can be made online or by phone.

Had a fantastic time for my girlfriend’s birthday. We done Sword in the Throne room. The puzzles were really clever and well thought out, the design was awesome and it was just fun all round. Elena was a great host, super friendly and welcoming! Would definitely go back to do another room!

We were looking for a fun yet challenging activity to enjoy with my two teenage daughters on a Saturday afternoon, and came across Escape Live on Google. After checking the information and availability on their website, I gave them a call to book “Escape the Jungle.” The booking process was straightforward and efficient—within just a few minutes, everything was confirmed and we were ready to go. Although it’s recommended to arrive 20 minutes before your booking time, we were running slightly late and found that 10 minutes was still plenty. On arrival, we were greeted by Elena, who was incredibly welcoming, upbeat, and informative. She gave us everything we needed to get started and made us feel at ease right away. Once inside the room, she provided our first clue and the challenge began. Working through the clues and riddles—figuring out the correct sequence of moves for each animal piece—was great fun and really engaging. After completing the first room, we discovered a key that led us into the second, where we tackled another set of puzzles before making our final escape. We managed to escape with 2 minutes and 42 seconds to spare, using 5 of the 6 clues available from the gamekeeper. All of us had a fantastic time, and we’ve already said we’ll be back to try the other two rooms Escape Live has to offer. A brilliant way to spend an hour—highly recommended!

We had an amazing time doing Escape the Jungle at World of Escapes in Chelmsford. It was a Mother’s Day present from my boys and a great fun activity for the whole family. The room was really immersive and the puzzles were great. A special mention to Holly, our coordinator, who was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend! 😊

Was a great time, Elana was a fantastic host and took great care of us. She brought great energy and really got us into the spirt of the room we chose (Sword in the Throne). The puzzles were good and it felt great to figure out the solution. Clive was an absolute legend and really brought fun to the game. We definitely would do more rooms from escape live! Great activity to do as a small or big group.

We completed Escape the Jungle and Star Quest today and honestly loved both of them! They were so immersive and felt really well thought out - the themes were done brilliantly and the rooms looked amazing. It genuinely felt like stepping into another world!! We came as a group of four (two adults and two 16-year-olds) and it was perfect for all of us. The puzzles were challenging but still really fun, and there was a great mix of things to figure out so everyone could get involved. A special thank you to Elena, who was so helpful and welcoming from start to finish. She explained everything clearly and made the whole experience even better. We’d definitely go back again and try more rooms. Highly recommend! 🌟
