Holly and Ivy only want one thing this Christmas. Can you make their dreams come true? Twins Holly and Ivy were born on Christmas day almost 20 years ago and have been inseparable all their lives. They’ve always dreamed of becoming private detectives, maybe even opening their own agency eventually. That dream seemed a million miles away until one day when both girls were working in Mrs Riddle's pantry as waitresses Holly overheard a conversation between Mr Mistletoe the local private detective and his wife discussing how the agency needed an office junior. The next day Holly & Ivy were waiting on the doorstep of the agency when Mr Mistletoe arrived for his day at work. They convinced the elderly detective to give them both a trial by offering to work for free until they had proven themselves. Giving up their jobs at the tea rooms both girls arrived bright and early for their first day excited for the cases they might be involved in, however Mr Mistletoe had other ideas and both Holly and Ivy were soon to find out that the only tasks they were allowed to perform were making tea, sweeping the floor and running errands. They may as well have continued working in the tea rooms as at least they’d get paid! Six months later on Christmas eve 1908, Holly and Ivy confronted Mr Mistletoe about the lack of detective work they were allowed to do, and yet again he just mocked them saying "You're just girls! You can't expect me to trust you with anything important." He then laughed and said "If you think this work is easy, then I’ll set you a challenge - If you can solve enough cases that we have left on file and complete your own duties before you lock up tonight at 8pm, maybe then I will trust you both with more work. I’ll leave some golden stars for you to collect so I can see how well you’ve progressed, collect 5 stars each and I’ll promote you both to junior detectives" and off he went home to enjoy his Christmas break. The girls stared after him in disbelief at his rudeness yet again and looked at the clock to see it was now 7pm, if only they had a way to show him they were worthy of a promotion, but no matter how capable they may be, it would be impossible to solve enough cases within just one hour! Can you detectives help Holly and Ivy to prove Mr Mistletoe wrong and get the promotion they so deserve?

Our second visit to Chapel street and what a delight it was. Excellent theming, puzzles that make sense and fit with the theme. Immersive and you feel you have been transported to world and time period. We will be back!

It is a genuine pleasure to visit Chapelgates and a joy to talk with Elaine and Mike before and after the adventure. Everything about Escape Quest is planned and executed to the highest standard. The puzzles are fun, engaging and so unique and challenging that we talk about them long after we leave. We only have one mystery left to solve and this saddens me but I am more than excited to start right back at the beginning and do each mystery again. This company is the gold standard of escape rooms in the UK and I would encourage anyone who has yet to visit this beautiful street to get booked in as soon as possible. You really won’t regret it.

The second Chaplegate Mysteries room we have completed as a team of 2 experienced players. I really enjoy that there is a mission and then bonus collector style room for remaining time. The setup of these escape rooms are so unique and fun. I wasn’t sure how it would work and if it would be spoiled coming back for the second room - however it didn’t detract from the experience at all and was completely different. A must to be added to any UK enthusiasts wish list, or travelling escapists!

Would highly recommend Escape Quest to any UK players. Had previously played Percy Pendleton’s Peculiar Predicament and enjoyed this one even more. The team there are incredibly friendly and the room was enjoyable from start to finish!
So much fun and enough different puzzles that you never get bored
Very much in tune with the festive theme
The team there are incredibly welcoming and friendly. It’s also lovely to see how enthusiastic they are about escape rooms and it’s reflected in the room itself

A perfect room to play in December, and to celebrate a birthday! Beautiful set design, plenty puzzles to work through in a great mix of styles, and such a fun story! Not as hard as Henry Fortune so more accessible for a Christmas party if you’re looking for a great activity to do with friends/colleagues, and wonderful hosting as always!
