The Best Escape Rooms UK
What definitely distinguishes us from other escape room experiences is the real-life flair every our room possesses. It is our main aim to fully immerse you in the setting and forced to think the hardest you can to win the escape. What also enables this active thinking is definitely people who are there to support you and help in the brainstorming process. No strangers will play the game with you, so there will be no time for shyness or ramp - up.
What Are Escape Game Basics?
To better understand our unique techniques and approaches, let us look at some of the basic conditions of participating in the best escape rooms in UK. These are as follows:
- - a number of players: all our rooms are available for teams of 2 + people. Sometimes, the maximum amount of players comes up to 5 or 6, depending on the challenge. However, you do not have to fulfill all the spots to play a game. Once you are more than 2 individuals, you are good to go!And remember, no strangers in the adventure, only the closest ones;
- - minimum age: given the themes of some of the rooms, there are certain age restrictions. It is generally either 12 + or 14 + years old requirement to be able to participate in the adventure. Nevertheless, we are already working on the great escape room which would be completely kids-friendly, so make sure to check the updates on this room on this website;
- - 60 minutes of time: owing to the immersive experience we are trying to create for you, all challenges require at most 1 hours of your free time. So, if you are ready to spend this hour tackling the most interesting and challenging mysteries, make sure to book this time for the real life escape room;
- - preliminary booking: to be sure that spots are free for the intended time, make sure to book these in advance. You can easily book one of the mystery rooms at our website in the booking section or also by calling us;
- - pricing policies: given different demand for Komnata settings, we have developed our own pricing policy. Thus, the starting price for the escape rooms is from £27 per person for private adventure on weekdays. In the evenings, it starts from £35 per person for a private adventure. For the weekends and holidays, the starting price would be £39 per person. Do not forget, you only pay for the participants and not for the whole room with its maximum capacity.
Escape Room Live for Corporate Clients
As already mentioned, our escape room live is a great fit for a company of friends knowing each other for quite some time. However, it also provides a unique opportunity to learn more about other people you are always surrounded by and never become close enough to, like colleagues or fellow students. By getting into a challenging situation altogether, you will easier learn how to communicate with each other and undoubtedly become closer.
Key advantages of our adventure rooms
What makes our adventure escape games worth visiting
One of the crucial differences between our services and those of others is that our horror escape rooms UK are not simply games but rather adventures. How come? We believe that to make people get the real feeling of a need to get away there should be a specific atmosphere in the setting. By installing incredible real-life decorations and adding unprecedented twists and turns of the plot, our scenarios resemble real-life adventures.
Among other unique features of Komnata Quest adventure rooms are:
- - guaranteed wow-effect: the very moment you and your fellow players enter the room, the wow-effect is guaranteed. Everything you will find in the room has its own history. These are all the things from the lives of the rooms’ characters which they have used and lived with. At some point in time you will ever forget that these are mere decorations as they resemble pieces of one’s daily lives instead;
- - private experience: as mentioned above, there is no need to fill up all the spots in the game. Therefore, it is possible to book an amazing escape room for as many of your friends or colleagues as you can bring.By having this private atmosphere, you will be able to relax and let your brain concentrate on the riddle solving activity instead of anxiety getting along with unknown guys in the room. This is rarely a thing for best UK escape rooms, so keep it in mind!
- - hi-tech escape room props: simple keys and combination locks have become boring already. Given the modern technological affinity of people, it would make no sense to leave our visitors with old-fashioned tools. Instead, we incorporated state of the art technology which creates ultimately challenging and interesting ways of solving the challenge;
- - surprising and exciting solutions: at first, it seems this challenge is impossible to solve. But as you move around the settings, learn more about the lives of its heroes and find the clues, the answer becomes closer and closer. Our team has made everything possible to ensure that the final clue will be surprising.However, there is not a more pleasant feeling of getting to the most unprecedented answer and discovering it was just the right one. Get ready to be creative and open the borders of your minds for 60 minutes;
- - family-friendly riddles: some of the tasks are rather family friendly and can become a nice way to spend the long weekend or holiday with your family and maybe some of the friends as well.
Get the most amazing escape room experience
To get the ultimate experiences from the beginning until the end, we suggest you choose the room carefully according to personal preferences in terms of topics.

Top escape rooms in the UK: choose your setting
Now, we have come to the most interesting part - choosing the setting. There are generally a few main themes for a typical escape room UK and these are detective, mystical, historical and geeky. Some of these envisage the presence of a very strong main character like in the geeky one.Others resemble a crime scene where you as a detective have to get the murderer. Mystical or horror usually have to do with different supernatural phenomena.
Horror Escape Rooms UK
At Komnata Quest, we have got only one horror adventure, Saint Angelo’s Castle. Given its historical background, it also involves ghosts and will most definitely give you some real chills. Therefore, the age restriction here is 14+ years old. The story for the St. Angelo’s Castle starts thousands of innocent victims of the Great Inquisition having to spend their last hour in the dungeon. However, every person sentenced was given a chance to save his or her own life.
This is where you come into play and try to solve the puzzles and mystical secrets for one hour to make them free. If you are unable to find an answer, prisoners will be killed in the most horrible ways. Unless you want such an unfortunate thing to happen, make sure to gather all of your creativity and out-of - box thinking on this problem and thus save the prisoners of the Castle once and forever.

The second most beloved attraction at Komnata Quest is the scientific puzzle of Doctor Frankenstein. Rumour has it, that the main inspiration for this character came from Johann Conrad Dippel, a German scientist, who was born in the Frankenstein castle. This scientist lived back in the 18th century and is said to become the real - life inspiration for the novel Frankenstein.
However, in our room, it is all about the mystical world of steam machines and airships where you have only one hour to revitalize a homunculus and unravel the mystery. You will follow in the mad scientist's footsteps to complete his final experiment and attempt to reanimate the body of Frankenstein's creature!If this sounds appealing to you, then definitely give it a shot!
For this one, you will have to be from 2 to 6 people with the minimum age requirement of 12 years old. This game is known to be the most family - friendly, so you can easily participate with your parents or teenage kids. After this adventure, your kids will be most likely interested in reading a novel and maybe even watching a movie about the world-known character of Frankenstein.
