Planning the perfect birthday party for your child can feel overwhelming. You want something fun, unique, and engaging – something that won’t just be another pizza and bowling or laser quest afternoon. That’s where escape room birthday parties come in.
At Trapped in Fiction, we specialise in immersive, story-driven escape rooms that transport kids into magical worlds filled with puzzles, adventure, and excitement. If you’re looking for a birthday celebration that’s interactive, exciting, and will engage them for a solid 1 hour, here’s why our escape rooms are the perfect choice.
What Makes an Escape Room Party Special?
1. A Unique and Engaging Experience
Forget the usual party venues—escape rooms offer a completely immersive adventure. Instead of sitting and watching a show or running around a play area, kids become part of the story, solving puzzles, working as a team, and racing against the clock to complete their mission.
At Trapped in Fiction, we offer two themed escape rooms designed for kids
Peter Pan – Travel to Neverland and help rescue the Lost Boys from Captain Hook!
The Forbidden Room of Fun – Solve puzzles inspired by classic childhood games and escape from the clutches of your fun-hating aunt and uncle!
Both experiences are designed for kids aged 6 and above, and recommended for ages 9/10 and above, with a beginner-friendly difficulty level available to ensure everyone has fun, no matter their experience level.
2. A Party for Small or Large Groups
One of the biggest challenges of birthday party planning is finding an activity that works for different group sizes. With our escape rooms, you can:
Book a single room for a small, close-knit group of 6-8 players. With the potential to squeeze in 1 extra in each room.
Book both rooms simultaneously to accommodate up to 16 kids at once.
Plus get a 15% discount when you book both rooms together!
This flexibility makes Trapped in Fiction perfect for birthdays, whether you’re hosting a small celebration or a larger party.
3. Stress-Free for Parents
We know parents want to make their child’s birthday special without spending weeks planning. That’s why an escape room party at Trapped in Fiction is a hassle-free option:
We handle the entertainment – Our games hosts will guide everyone through their adventure, ensuring they have an amazing time.
No mess, no cleanup – Unlike at-home parties, there’s no post-party disaster to deal with!
A waiting room for cake and celebrations – You’re welcome to bring a cake and decorations and use our waiting area for up to 30 minutes before or after the game to celebrate.
You don’t need to worry about organizing activities—just book, show up, and let us take care of the fun!
4. Encourages Teamwork and Problem-Solving
Escape rooms are more than just fun—they also help kids develop problem-solving, critical thinking, and teamwork skills. Instead of mindlessly playing on screens, kids are actively:
Solving puzzles
Using logic and creativity
Working together
- Boosting their confidence
They’ll leave the experience feeling accomplished, energized, and already talking about their next adventure!
