Basingstoke's Escape Rooms - Right in the Heart of Hampshire
We’re based in the Top of Town area of Basingstoke, 37a Winchester Street, in a beautiful Grade II listed building that’s been home to Trapped in Fiction since we opened. With parking at Castons Yard, Albert Yard, Joices Yard, and Festival Place just a short walk away, and Basingstoke train station around 15 minutes on foot.
That puts our escape rooms within easy reach of the whole of Hampshire. Whether you’re coming from Winchester, Fleet, Andover, Hook, Tadley, Farnham or further afield, Basingstoke is a straightforward drive – and we’re right in the centre once you’re here.
