Room Ratings
A fun-filled, story-driven escape room – built around classic childhood games with a twist, with a mix of puzzles, from mental to skill.
Basingstoke's Biggest Escape Room
The Forbidden Room of Fun is our largest room – up to 8 players in a single team, experience nostalgic childhood games with a puzzling twist, and unlike any escape room you’ve done before. Three difficulty settings available.
Bigger groups, corporate team building, and birthday parties where you don't want to split everyone up. And smaller teams really enjoy it too!
With up to 8 players in one team it's our most flexible room for larger bookings.
Also great for families and friend groups of any experience level.
Think of the games you played as a child - on rainy afternoons and family holidays - and then imagine them turned into something altogether more puzzling.
Familiar and nostalgic, but completely original.
It's the room that most surprises first-timers and the one experienced escape room players consistently say feels genuinely unlike anything else.
There are quite a few colourful puzzles. So please contact us to discuss if you have difficulty with the colour spectrum.
A few more skill based puzzles than your average escape room. Follow the journey of the characters in a story. And the design of the game is on everyone having a fun time!
Beginner - recommended for groups new to escape rooms, or with children.
Standard - for groups who have done a few escape rooms, and tend to get out before 60 mins.
Challenging - for groups who normally complete rooms well before time, e.g. under 45 mins, and want to have an experience closer to the full 60 mins.
If you're not sure, just get in touch and we'll help you decide based on your group.

We loved the whimsy and the twists on familiar games, there is something for everyone here and we loved it.
Lottie
Honestly one of the most beautifully designed and executed rooms I have done. The puzzles were inventive, interesting and varied. Lots of lovely little details have been included that really envelope you in the world and a really good story running through the room too. I’d HIGHLY recommend visiting.
Thank you for a wonderful experience.
