  • The Merlin's Magic Academy game is dimly lit in areas but candles (though sadly not real ones!) are provided.
Are the moviESCAPE games wheelchair accessible?
  • The Haunted House II: Demon's Curse and SAWtopsy games are 90% wheelchair accessible.
  • There are some smaller sub-rooms in which a wheelchair may not fit, however a wheelchair user could view the inside of these sub-rooms from the doorway.
  • Merlin's Magic Academy is not wheelchair accessible at this time due to narrow passageways.
Are the moviESCAPE rooms scary?
  • The Haunted House game does feature jump scares and special effects.
  • SAWtopsy is a gory and ominous room but does not feature any jump scares.
  • None of the other rooms are designed to be scary, although some may feature realistic animal/insect props. 
Are the moviESCAPE rooms difficult?
  • Game hosts will provide as much or as little help as you like - this is your game.
  • Every room can be played by escape room experts or complete novices!
How long are the games a moviESCAPE?
  • You are given a maximum of 60 minutes in the room, however you may escape in less than the designated time.
  • Your time spent at the venue will be slightly longer due to a briefing prior to the game, and photo opportunity afterwards.
Is moviESCAPE suitable for kids?
  • Merlin's Magic Academy game is a family-friendly room. These rooms have an advisory age limit of 8.
  • Haunted House II: Demon's Curse features jump scares and SAWtopsy features gore. For this reason there is an advisory age limit of 12 and we wouldn't suggest the Haunted House for children who are easily scared.
  • You may choose to bring a child younger than 12 if you wish, but this is at the parent or guardian's discretion. Our experiences are designed for players of the stated advisory age limit.
