Can you help Percy to find his lost inheritance? Percy Pendleton and his Wife Violet live above their modest haberdashery shop situated on Chapel street. One rainy Tuesday afternoon Percy received a telegram all the way from Peru. The only person Percy knows in Peru is his rich Uncle Paolo who he hasn't seen since he was a child. Paolo owns a very lucrative pineapple plantation. The telegram reads- I'm sorry to inform you of your Uncle Paolo's death. His entire estate has been left to his loving Wife with the exception of a box he has asked to be sent to you. Later that day a courier arrived and Percy couldn't believe it when he saw two strong men struggle to lift the small package and bring it inside. After they left Percy carefully lifted the lid to be greeted by a sight that made him sit down in complete shock. A handwritten note sat on top of the items and it read- My dearest Nephew Percy. I've sent you these as it's the only way to avoid the tax man! You always were my favourite relative and so these should set you up for life. All my love Uncle Paolo. Inside the box were dozens of jewel encrusted solid gold pineapples, they must be worth an absolute fortune! Percy started to panic, visions of being thrown in jail for tax evasion flashed through his mind and then..... a loud knock at the door! "Oh my goodness, they've come for me already!" Percy was almost faint with panic as he opened the door. He was filled with indescribable relief to find Tommy Tatler on his doorstep. Tommy owns the Chapelgate tavern across the road and they'd been friends since they were kids. Percy could always rely on Tommy to help him with any situation. After showing him the precious pineapples and explaining everything, Tommy knew just what to do. "I'll hide these somewhere safe for you Percy" Tommy said confidently, "Don't you worry, I'll split them all up for you too so they're not all together." And off he went leaving Percy feeling like all his troubles were over. He kept just one of the pineapples to sell and decided he'd gradually sell them off over time so as not to arouse suspicion. The next morning however, Percy got the shock of his life when he was told the awful news. Tommy was dead! A sudden heart attack in the night they said. A few days went by before Percy even thought about the pineapples. Where had Tommy hidden them? He'd died before he'd had the chance to tell Percy. What a peculiar predicament! Can you help Percy find his hidden pineapples?

I've been doing escape rooms for quite a few years now and I do not recall ever hearing about this place and before attending I must say that I was rather skeptical. However, I was absolutely blown away by every aspect of the game. - The game flowed extremely well, with a nice pacing and we were never stuck for something to do. - The room looked STUNNING and everything was themed nicely. - The puzzles all made sense and didn't require leaps in logic. - Lots of locks, however, you always knew which code went into which lock. - A lot of work has gone into this venue, from the large set design all the way down to the smallest of details. Will definitely be back and will be recommending this venue regularly.

I cannot rate the rooms at Escape Quest highly enough and if you haven’t already been, all I can say is book now - you won’t be disappointed! With plenty to do for everyone, you really do keep going until the time is up. The set is stunning and is the gift that keeps on giving with a wide variety of puzzles to complete, appealing to all abilities.

Wow. So clever. So we’ll done. We couldn’t stop talking about how great it was afterward. And we typically prefer fewer locks. But they did locks right here.

Percy’s Predicament was a delightful experience in every way. Right from the start, it’s a fun entry way and a welcoming lobby. The room owners are kind and very invested in you having a great experience. The room is designed for everyone to be able to enjoy it, there is a main goal that can either take you the whole time or you can solve quickly depending on your experience and skill level. Once the main goal is achieved there are plenty of puzzles left to keep you working and happy clear up to the very last second. We played with three of our kids aged 11-17 and everyone was busy working and solving puzzles without bottle necking, wandering aimlessly, or getting frustrated. If they couldn’t figure out a puzzle there was another one to try instead. Overall a great family room and a wonderful experience.
Gameplay
Such a fun and clever room! Well designed to keep everyone busy and engaged.

Very immersive and well done.
