Absolutely! Dead Man's Chest is very popular with children's groups who love high-seas adventure and pirate treasure. And whilst it is a very popular room with children, adults love it too! So, it's a great choice for a family outing.

A few rules though:

1. We welcome children from age 7 to play as paid participants in a family group, though do recommend 9+ years is more suitable for maximum room engagement and enjoyment.
2. Groups with children aged 9 and under require a parent or guardian be in the room as a paid participant.
3. If the group contains children aged 10-13 years, then an adult must remain onsite for the duration of the booking but does not need to accompany the group into the room.
4. If the whole group is 14 and older no adult needs to remain on site.
5. Children under 3 years old may accompany their parents as spectators in the room, at our discretion, without charge, though they do always count towards the room’s player capacity.

You can book your Dead Man's Chest adventure via our website here.

At Escape This, all bookings are exclusive to your group. This has always been (and will remain to be) our policy before, during and after Covid.

If you want to be locked in a room with a group of people you have never met before (some people do!) then we recommend you try another escape room experience provider.

You certainly can! If you have ever considered dressing up for your escape room experience we encourage you to do so. Come as Captain Blackbeard, Johnny Depp, Jack Sparrow or a lowly deckhand. Remember, bonus points if your group can speak like pirates from start to finish!

You'll have 60 minutes from commencement of the Dead Man's Chest experience to break the curse and claim your treasure. 

We recommend you arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled start time and if you allow for 15 minutes afterwards, to catch your breath and debrief, your whole experience will last up to 60 minutes. 

You may be one of the lucky ones to escape earlier, in which case your time with us may be shorter.

The maximum group size that The Dead Man's Chest escape room can accomodate is 8 people, across two simultaneous treasure chests playing head-to-head. Each chest can accommodate a maximum of 4 players.

Our group limits are set to optimise gameplay and ensure a truly immersive experience for all our guests. It's our policy to never compromise on your gameplay experience so these limits are NOT flexible! 

If your group is larger than 8 players we suggest that you book multiple rooms to start at the same time and split your group across the rooms. Thus ensuring the very best experience for everyone in your group.

Spoken cues and clues are a key element of our escape rooms. Presently, these cues are only available in English, though we are working towards multi-language options. To ensure the best escape experience in the meantime, we recommend that the majority of your player group should be fluent in English.

Absolutely, Dead Man's Chest is a great choice for first time escapers up for a challenge!

Like all escape rooms, Dead Man's Chest is a controlled lighting environment. It may feature periods of complete darkness and/or flashing lights. Similarly, you might experience confined spaces and/or jump scares during your escape. If you have any concerns or questions, please raise these with our Gamesmasters at check-in.
