We’re back with a unique escape room experience!
Re-visiting Season 1 of Jailbreak this Autumn!
It is the 2nd June 1898. Earlier today, St Neots was celebrating the public hanging of Walter Horsford, who was recently found guilty of the murder of his cousin Annie Holmes. You – his friends – were angry at what you feel to be an unfair verdict and went out to console yourselves after witnessing the dramatic hanging in Cambridge. Unfortunately, you got into a brawl outside the Cross Keys and – following complaints from local residents – have been arrested and brought to St Neots Police Station cells. You now stand accused of being ‘drunk and disorderly’ and ‘creating a public disturbance’.
The Details
You will have 60 minutes to solve 3 challenges: escaping from the police cells; from the cell corridor; and finally, from the museum itself. Tickets are £95 for large groups of 5 or more and £75 for smaller groups.
Cut-off time for online bookings is 4:30pm. Please call 07870 317312 for late availability and cancellations
The Dates
The event will run over select dates from 1st October – 12th November, with sessions running from 16:45 – 22:00

What is an escape room?
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.
Is Jailbreak suitable for people in wheelchairs?
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.
What is the largest group size?
8 people
Is that really a genuine police cell, and are we really locked in?
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.
What is the minimum age that can play?
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.
What if I get claustrophobic?
No need to worry, someone will be at hand to help you throughout the experience. Early escapes are assisted when medically required.
Are there prizes?
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’.
I loved the museum but didn’t get chance to look properly at the displays.
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.
I really enjoyed it, can I come back again?
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.
