The Escape Room Guys

a bit of lateral thinking, and absolutely no special knowledge or experience. If you can talk, search and put your heads together, you can play.

We have three very different rooms to choose from, each with its own story and its own personality.

In A Rough Trade, your team goes undercover to break into a corrupt CEO's office, uncover the evidence and expose the scandal before time runs out. It's our most beginner-friendly room and a brilliant first escape experience for families and newcomers.

In Contagion, a deadly virus is spreading and only you can find the cure. This medium-difficulty game blends science-themed puzzles with a real sense of urgency, making it perfect for mixed groups and anyone who likes their adventures with a ticking clock and a bit of pressure.

In The Grand Heist, you'll plan and pull off the ultimate robbery, outwitting security and cracking the vault to escape with as much gold as you can carry. With room for larger teams and our highest stakes, it's our most intense and competitive challenge, ideal for confident groups and seasoned escapers looking to test themselves.

What sets us apart is the detail and the welcome. Our rooms are bright, clean and carefully built, with proper sets, clever tech and puzzles that flow naturally from one to the next rather than feeling random or unfair. We've deliberately kept our games immersive but never frightening, so there are no jump-scares and nothing to put off younger players or the more faint-hearted. Friendly hosts keep an eye on your progress throughout and offer clues exactly when you need them, so no team ever gets stuck and frustrated. The goal is for everyone to walk out grinning, whether you escape with seconds to spare or run out of time having had a brilliant hour trying.

We're a fantastic choice for almost any occasion. Families love us for days out, school holidays and birthday celebrations. Friends book us for catch-ups, date nights and pre-night-out fun. We're a popular pick for stag and hen parties, and a genuinely effective corporate team-building activity that gets colleagues communicating, problem-solving and laughing together away from the office. With capacity for groups large and small across our rooms, we can cater for couples right up to bigger parties, and our gift vouchers make a brilliant present for the puzzle-lover, thrill-seeker or hard-to-buy-for person in your life.

Our location couldn't be more convenient. We're in the centre of Derby's Cathedral Quarter, just a short walk from the city's shops, bars and restaurants, so it's easy to turn your visit into a full day or evening out. Booking is quick and simple online, and our team are always happy to help you choose the right room for your group if you're not sure where to start.

So, do you have what it takes to escape? Round up your team, pick your adventure and start the clock. We'll see you on the other side.
