🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE
An absolutely STUNNING design means you feel EXTREMELY immersed in this amazing recreation of a cobbled street with shops, windows and associated items such as a real red phone box!
A superb mix of puzzles, tasks and information gathering makes for a perfect heist experience. Locks, codes, games, logical reasoning and information gathering - it really does have it all.
Some very clever uses of tech and also simple manual tasks that keep the game interesting and mean that all in the team can play to their strengths and are also likely to be involved in a range of puzzles.
An interactive and in character GM for the game brings the whole thing to life.
🧩 MISSED THE MARK
Not a single thing wrong - I just wanted to spend more time in there!
🏹 TAKE A SHOT?
This is one of the top-rated rooms in the country and it is very easy to see why. A good amount of team communication is required, mainly for the tasks you have to complete and as you are often in different areas. This is why the minimum for the room is ideally 4 people. One of the most elaborate sets and cleverly themed rooms you will find - the setting is superb. Anyone with a love of the city of Brighton, heist style games, clever puzzles and teamwork in amazing settings will adore this game - I challenge anyone not to love this one!
ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO
This room is hosted in a different building, a short walk away from the main venue but you will be guided there by your GM, in character, so worry not! There are some steep stairs involved in accessing the room.
Extra achievements can be awarded in Pier Pressure’s games for how you play - such a lovely touch!
Discounts on a tasty beverage (adults only) at a local venue are available on completion of a room and multi-room discounts are available when booking.
There isn’t any immediate parking but there is a car park just 400m away.
The venue has some online games you can buy too! Plus a range of games and merchandise to buy in their shop and online.
A collaboration with Paradox Place, a museum of illusions and wackiness, opens up more rooms, experiences and fun. Check it out!
