Completed the cell, with 2 of my friends when visiting Brighton last weekend. The member of staff we spoke to in the cafe was lovely. The member of staff, who lead the escape room was nice and very interactive. Very much worth the price.

We recently brought a group of our students to experience The Vault and they absolutely loved it! The experience was so good that we came back to try The Cell, and it didn't dissapoint. Phaedra was an amazing host, very friendly and great with our international students. Will also made the whole booking process incredibly easy and smooth for us. We'll definitely be back again 🙌🏼

Recently did Escape the Cell with my work team. I came back to Escape the Vault with my family when they visited Brighton last weekend. It was great for my fifteen year old nephews who are too cool to do anything! We enjoyed the cheese toasties at the bar after too.

This was a brilliant experience, we didn’t think we’d escape but we did!! There were 5 of us and our host Kitty was the loveliest person and so helpful too!! We had so much fun and a great laugh, I really recommend to everyone and don’t forget to press the red button ✨ (Our lovely host Kitty on the right)

Great experience. We did two escape rooms for my son's 15th and had a great time. Our host lady (I forget her name) was very friendly and theatrical which added to the whole experience. Very helpful, and easy to book, I would recommend this escape room services to anyone.
