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.

Yes, doors will be narrow, but the whole experience is conducted on the same floor level. Please note that space inside the cells is tight.

8 people

Totally. You will have 60 minutes to solve 3 challenges: escaping from the police cells; from the cell corridor; and finally, from the museum itself.

We would recommend that the attraction is unsuitable for anyone aged under 11. Children under the the age of 18 taking part in the Escape Room must be accompanied by an adult.

Though government guidance on the compulsory wearing of facemasks has changed, competitors are still asked to wear a face mask whilst playing the game; no proof of vaccination is required to play, but if any people in your party are feeling unwell then please do not attend, you will be entitled to a full refund as long as we are notified at least 3 hours before your session is due to commence. If it proves necessary to cancel any sessions due to advice or government restrictions, a full refund will also be given to any ticket holders who are inconvenienced.

All current COVID measures as stipulated by the Museum will be followed, as will all guidelines stipulated or recommended by the government. Extra time has been scheduled between sessions to enable santisation of clues, keys, handles and surfaces to take place between groups, so you can play your favourite Escape Room safely.

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. The team who escapes in the fastest time throughout the season will get a special prize, and our Facebook will keep an updated list of ‘top times’.

Then do come back again during normal opening hours which are 11am – 4pm Tuesday – Saturday. Admission is free for local residents and £3 for non-residents.

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.

This ticket entitles your group to one game of Jailbreak 4 – Blackout at St Neots Museum at the specified time. Please arrive at the Museum 10 minutes before your session time for a briefing.

Tickets are booked via Art Tickets. Cut-off time for online bookings is 4:30pm. Please call 07870 317312 for late availability and cancellations

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