10% off with SPOOKY10
Type SPOOKY10 when you book an escape room, Blitz Arcade or a kids party. Until 31 October, for a limited number of bookings.
Is it too scary for kids?
Not the kids games. Dead Ahead (cartoon zombies) and Arrowsong (archery against goblins and a dragon) are for ages 6 and up, and Arrowsong: Dark Omen is for ages 8 and up. They are spooky and silly, not frightening. The real horror games are for ages 16 and up, and every game shows its minimum age.
Can we come in fancy dress?
Yes, fancy dress is welcome. Masks, big hats and anything on the face need to come off while you wear the headset, so face paint works better than a mask.
Are you open on Halloween?
Yes. Halloween is Saturday 31 October 2026 and we are open from 12pm, with the last sessions starting in the evening. Weekend slots go quickly in October, so book ahead.
How does the SPOOKY10 code work?
Type SPOOKY10 when you book an escape room, Blitz Arcade or a kids party to get 10% off. It works until 31 October 2026 for a limited number of bookings, and it replaces the weekend group saving rather than adding to it.
Can we have a Halloween kids party?
Yes. A kids party is one hour with the whole arena to yourselves, from £180 for 6 kids and up to 10 kids, on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Tell us they want the spooky games and we will line them up.
