We’re back with a unique escape room experience!

Caught. Locked. Tick tock.

Now in its 7th year, Jailbreak returns to St Neots Museum with a brand new scenario.

This spring, your group arrives at the museum, purporting to be a team of detectorists with a valuable gem and a story to tell. The curator isn’t convinced. Before you can make your case, you’re secured in the historic cell block — with 60 minutes to solve the clues, recover your find, and get out.

Set entirely within the museum’s authentic historic spaces, this is an escape room experience unlike any purpose-built venue. The building, the atmosphere, and the history are all real.

If you’ve not tried one of these before — an escape room is a physical adventure game where players are locked in a room and must solve a series of puzzles and riddles using clues, hints and strategy to complete the objectives, all this within 60 minutes. It’s a bit like The Crystal Maze or Fort Boyard but don’t worry its just for fun so you will be let out after the experience is complete. The challenge is to get out, and compete with other participants for the best time. Good luck.

Sessions accommodate groups of up to 8 people.

Yes, it is a real Victorian police cell. You’ve got 60 minutes to solve the clues, recover your find, and get out.

We would recommend that the attraction is unsuitable for anyone aged under 11. However, it may be suitable for slightly younger children with a love for puzzles! Children under the the age of 18 taking part in the Escape Room must be accompanied by an adult.

No need to worry, someone will be at hand to help you throughout the experience. Early escapes are assisted when medically required.

Successful teams will have the option to have their photo taken with a board recording their escape time.

Of course, just note that the attraction will remain unaltered for the season, so you will find it repetitive if you come back for the same challenge. We hope we can offer a new season again next year, where we will have totally new clues and forms of escape.

Tickets must be booked in advance and are available online on TicketTailor. The ticket entitles your group to one game of Jailbreak at St Neots Museum at the specified time. Please arrive at the Museum 10 minutes before your session time for a briefing.

We hope you have a great time and want to tell your friends all about it, but please, if you do, no spoilers!

What to expect: Sessions last up to 60 minutes and accommodate groups of up to 8 people.

Suitable for ages 12 and upwards (may be suitable for slightly younger children with a love for puzzles!)

No specialist knowledge required — just curiosity, teamwork, and a cool head under pressure.
