What is Trapped In Fiction?

Trapped In Fiction

Escape Into A Story

We are a proudly independent escape room, and we believe escape rooms should be more than just puzzles – they should be an adventure.

Our rooms are designed to pull you into a fully immersive world, where every challenge is woven into the story.

Whether you’re sneaking into Neverland or unlocking the secrets of the Forbidden Room of Fun, your journey unfolds with every puzzle you solve.

My Escape Room Story

I played my first escape room with friends, and from the moment I stepped inside, I was hooked. It was a classic murder mystery, nothing particularly special, but I loved the thrill of solving puzzles and being transported into a different world.

That experience sparked something in me – I wanted to create escape rooms that felt truly immersive, where every puzzle made sense within the story. That’s why I founded Trapped in Fiction. The name reflects my vision: each room is a fictional story that you enter, explore, and escape.

Creating these rooms hasn’t been easy. I had no experience in building set designs or making props, so I had to find people to help bring my ideas to life. Each room I build is more ambitious than the last, and finding the right expertise for durability, set design, and custom props is an ongoing challenge. 

But the hard work is worth it. The most rewarding moment so far? Opening my Peter Pan escape room. It took two years to build, but it was the closest I’ve ever come to bringing my original vision to life. Seeing players step into Neverland and experience the magic I imagined makes everything worth it. 

What Is An Escape Room?

A Beginner’s Guide

An escape room is a live, interactive adventure where you and your team must solve puzzles, uncover clues, and work together to complete a mission before time runs out. It’s like stepping into a real-life video game or mystery novel.

At Trapped in Fiction, we take it a step further – our escape rooms are narrative-driven, meaning every puzzle connects to the story. You’re not just solving puzzles; you’re progressing through an adventure.
