Escape Rooms in Bishop’s Stortford

For my 50th birthday we stayed in the overnight escape room in Bishop’s Stortford. It took us 7 hrs to complete (including popping out for a meal in the middle of it.)

Bishop Stortford Escape Rooms has five rooms to choose from. ‘Rob the Bank’, the bank heist escape room (also featured at Maldon Escape Rooms - where I played it a while back.) For any pet lovers there’s a cat-themed escape room called ‘The Crazy Cat Lady’ (also featured in their Chelmsford escape room.) The room is pink and fluffy, but the puzzles are far from fluff - It’s a great little room. ‘The Governor’ will see you blindfolded and handcuffed for this prison-themed escape room! Haven’t tried that yet.

An overnight escape room! For an extra immersive experience ‘Escape the Night’ involves staying overnight in a self-contained loft. I’ve avoided recommending particular rooms in these pages because I’m trying to create a useful directory not a review site. I’m going to make an exception for this one. It’s expensive. And it’s worth every penny. If you love escape rooms you’ll love this. It follows on from Rob the Bank, and there are cross over characters and locations with the other KnowEscape games. There are no cameras or live actors obviously given you’re living there overnight. You have a phone line that’s manned until late and open again the following morning. The props in this room are superb. I can’t elaborate further as I don’t want to leave spoilers, but if you have the budget for it and you love escape rooms, this is something special.

As I hope is obvious from the above, I opened the only Virtual Reality Escape Rooms near Bishop’s Stortford not just because I’m a VR fan, but also because I’m a big fan of escape rooms! I’m very fortunate to have such great escape rooms near me. With my business hat on, the escape rooms in Bishop’s Stortford reminded me that with VR I’m fortunate that I don’t need to tear an escape room out in order to add a new escape game to the venue. If like me you’ve played almost all of the physical escape rooms nearby, come and give one of our Virtual Reality escape rooms a go. We’ve got several now and we’re adding at least one new one a year. We’ll keep you busy! You can take a look at our escape rooms here
