Permanently Closed - Titterton’s Toffees first opened their doors on Chapel street in 1933. They were soon to be regarded as one of the highest quality toffee makers in the country, eventually being awarded with a Royal warrant. They were a small family business and made almost everything in the back room of their shop. Things were going well for Titterton’s and they had great plans for the future including new flavours of toffee they would produce, demand started to increase and then the war arrived. Terry Titterton was just 8 years old at the time when he and his mother were left to run the shop alone after his father was called up to fight. As the war raged on and rationing came in to effect, the shop was sadly forced to close. Almost 20 years later Terry still reminisced about the days he spent watching his dear now departed parents making the toffee. On Wednesday 5 February 1953 the Food Minister announced in Parliament and to the Commons that ration and price control on chocolate and sweets had officially come to an end across the United Kingdom. Over the course of the next year a flurry of sweet shops, small and large scale confectionery manufacturers sprung up across the country. Passing the old shop one day Terry noticed a for sale sign in the window, he peered through the cracked window pane to view the dusty interior and to his astonishment the shop looked just as it did the last time he saw it! Terry bought the shop and started to clean the place up. All he needed now were the recipes for the toffees his parents produced and to work out how to use the toffee making machine. Searching around he found a key, the tag said “Flavour essence growing, making and storage” how strange! Also, there seemed to be a map drawn on the back of the tag. Can you detectives help Terry get his parents once glorious toffee business back up and running by discovering their secrets. I think if we could start with making 12 boxes of vanilla toffee to send to the Royal household we might be able to get the Royal warrant reinstated.

Another successful installment to the Chapelgate Mysteries. This games follows the same pattern as the previous formats - lots of exploring, padlock opening, and a total nonlinear format. So if you like what they've done previously then you'll likely enjoy this too!

Id still like to see them install some special effects, particularly in the time machine to give a more thematic impression of time travel.

Another fantastic room from Escape Quest. I love visiting Chapelgate and exploring the new quests. Brilliant puzzles, with a nice range of difficulties. Love that it becomes a collecting style game which means you get to spend the full hour in the room. There’s always too much to do, which is great but also really really frustrating as I’d love to stay in there till I’ve finished them all! Would recommend for everyone, beginners to experts. Can’t wait to see what’s next for Escape Quest!

Completely lives up to the positive reviews. We loved every puzzle solving second and are currently planning our return. The hosts were wonderful and their passion shines through in every beautiful detail and clever puzzle. If you love puzzles and haven’t been here yet then treat yourself to an hour of joy.

Visited based on the venue having two games ranked in the top 100 in the world, and despite this not being one of them, it was still an excellent experience. I look forward to going back to experience the other rooms they have to offer.

As expected, another brilliant game from Escape Quest. Even after playing the 4 previous games here, the magic of Chapelgate Mysteries is never lost on us. The care and dedication put into these rooms is astonshing.

Another great room from escape quest. Full hour puzzling experience, super friendly hosts, and a lovely deli for lunch nearby! This was my favourite of the rooms played here. Even with a couple of the puzzles we got stuck on, a little hint put us back in the right direction. Solid, fun game :)
