A new adrenaline-fuelled escape room attraction is set to open at the end of the month.

Escape Hunt is bringing its immersive escape game experience to Manchester, when it opens its doors in the Corn Exchange on Friday, October 26.

From a brand new swashbuckling pirate challenge to a high-octane Japanese adventure, players will be transported to another world as they are put to the test with brain-teasing puzzles and code crunching.

Players will be invited to step aboard one of the most infamous ships of all time to try out Blackbeard’s Treasure, the pirate-themed experience based on one of history’s most notorious villains, Captain Blackbeard. Or immerse themselves in ancient Japan with The Fourth Samurai and take on the ultimate challenge to defeat the evil warlord.

From November 9, fans of the wild west are in for a treat as they’re invited to outrun a gang of bandits in Escape the Wild West, or step into a world of gods and monsters to try and stop the Ice Gods from destroying their village in The Last Vikings.

Open to teams of between two and six players, Escape Hunt begins with a mission briefing from a Games Master, followed by an hour to crack a series of clues and puzzles.

From cryptic word play to physical dexterity, players must work as a team and break out of the room, before celebrating their escape in the premium lounge and taking advantage of the bar.

Alex Butler, General Manager at Escape Hunt Manchester, said: “We’re incredibly proud of the site we’ve created in the Corn Exchange. With a variety of escape room experiences to choose from, we’re looking forward to welcoming adrenaline seekers through our doors to take on the clock and the challenge that lies ahead of them.

“Whether looking for a fun weekend activity with family and friends, or a team building exercise with work colleagues Escape Hunt Manchester will test your minds to the max.”

Escape Hunt Manchester opens on Friday, October 26, costing £25 per person for groups of two to three, and £20 per person for groups of four to six. Pre Book now at escapehunt.com/uk/manchester/
