📖 THE STORY

You are one of a gang of Mods - a 60's youth subculture group who rides scooters, wear clean-cut suits and favours ska, blues and soul. Tensions between the other group in the city - "The Rockers", are riding high.


One of your gang members, Jimmy, has been found murdered - and you want to find out what happened to him. Gain access to his flat, look around for clues, and identify the culprit as fast as you can.

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

  • Great immersion from the start, as a “fellow gang member” tells you what has happened and brings you to Jimmy’s flat. Once inside - such a fabulous theme! From the original vintage Vespa scooter that takes pride of place, the pinball machine, props and the 60's tunes that play, this room really transports you back to the era and if you weren’t there, gives you some flavour!

  • There were some very clever uses of props and items around the rooms, such as physical puzzles, searching, pattern puzzles and logic, this room seemed to have it all.

  • There is also of course, the whodunnit element to this room - not just an escape, so there’s the added pressure at the end of deducing and naming the culprit. Will you get it right? You only have one opportunity to name them!

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

  • One piece of information required for a puzzle was in a very sneaky location, which we never found, so ended up guessing this bit. Not a bad thing per se, but we would never have found it without a clue!

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

Another fantastically immersive room from Pier Pressure, and one which will appeal to anyone with a love of art, music, local history and more. Hints are apparently delivered in a very in-keeping way through the radio station playing, but we never had to get any. Almost wish we had now! There’s plenty to keep a larger team busy as things can be solved in a non-linear fashion, and our team of 5 were never left without anything to do.


ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO

  • 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!
