“Really loved this room, my favourite at Escapism Chester. One particular effect used in this room was completely new and different to anything we had come across at this point. Loved the theme and story, really got into the adventure of this room.”

In this spine-chilling game, you and your team find yourselves inside what initially appeared to be an abandoned house.

The house you thought was empty reveals itself to be a gruesome slaughterhouse, with every corner hiding the secrets of a disturbed mind. But that's not all.

“I have done over 80 escape rooms and Snatched at Contained Liverpool might just be the most intense, terrifying, and immersive experience I have ever had. It has been over five hours since we escaped and I am still reeling. My heart rate has not settled. My brain is still trying to figure out what just happened. The production value is phenomenal. The atmosphere is pitch perfect. But the real star of the show is the game master. I do not say this lightly — they were unreal. So committed, so in character, so perfectly timed that we genuinely lost all grip on what was real and what was part of the game. They did not just enhance the experience. They were the experience. Their performance was Oscar worthy. I have never seen anything like it. The fear is relentless. The immersion is next level. I screamed more in that hour than I probably have in the last five years combined. It pushed us to our limits and we loved every horrifying second. If you are into horror, adrenaline, or just want to feel like you have been thrown into a real life nightmare, Snatched is non negotiable. Book it. Brace yourself. And good luck. You are going to need it.”

“A really fun room that just appealed to our love of padlocks and interest in (but no knowledge whatsoever of) science. A few wee moments when we got to feel smart but mostly just a lot to keep you busy for an hour. Elliot was a wonderful GM who made us feel at ease and gave a wee pointer or two when we were a bit dull. We will happily travel back here to try the rest of their rooms.”
