Mr. P. Saul has been around a long time, happily creating his own private museum in tribute to his home town of Halifax. However, he was made to leave when The Piece Hall was renovated, and when he returned, he was a changed man! It’s not just his demeanour that has changed either – he has started stealing items for his museum too! One such item is the irreplaceable, original ceremonial key to The Piece Hall’s gates! Can you and your team work your way through the mad museum and get the key back before Mr. P. Saul returns? You have 60 minutes to find out if you can!

Another great room from this venue. Lovely local theme celebrating everything Halifax - who knew? Sam was our host who was equally experienced and knowledgeable on how to run a great game. This was fun with several puzzles we’d never come across before. Definitely glad we did it

Really enjoyed this room - the theme was good and was a local room. A few puzzles that were tricky but hiding in plain sight and gave you that ‘kick yourself’ feeling once you got them. A good variety of puzzles too.

Brilliant history of Halifax themed room with plenty of trivia tie ins and interesting puzzles. Excellent hosting from Sam who was very polite when I missed the obvious museum owner pun 🤦😂

Genuinely love all of the rooms at The Escaporium so had high expectations of this one and it didn’t fail to deliver. Quirky theming with some really great ideas. Being a team of 2, it felt like we were in a real race against the clock at some points as the clues and puzzles keep on coming but we did manage to escape with a few minutes to spare. Highly recommended.

Perfect local theme but be warned not to get lost in all the detail and trivia around the room! Maybe leave that part until the end!

Brilliant room with theming all linked to Halifax and the piece hall. Lots of clever puzzles to solve. Our games master was the owner Angela who was very friendly. Highly recommend a visit.
