Mr E Rooms is delighted to welcome young and old to his 3 Escape Rooms (with 1 more on the way!)
Wizard’s Quest
He challenges you to immerse yourself in the magical world of the Wizard’s School, where, starting in the Spells and Potions Room, you must solve cunning puzzles and fiendish riddles to gain access to the Professor’s Study where you are challenged to find the only spell which can save the world from the impending threat of Dark Forces.

The Mission
Alternatively, you may see yourself as a Secret Agent, charged with saving the world from certain doom by disarming a nuclear bomb which is poised to launch. You start by receiving your mission, which will require clear thought, creative thinking and bravery, before eventually going under cover in the Cold War Soviet Union in your bid to save the world!

This was our first escape room and we completed the Russian spy mission, thoroughly enjoyed it... Makes you think in a way that you don't know you are capable of - would absolutely recommend to everyone! Can't wait to do the other missions! Massive thank you to the host who made it such a great experience from the minute we stepped through the door. We are now totally addicted to escape rooms

6/02/2018 Absolutely brilliant experience! First time in an escape room and it was so well thought out and really well delivered! I certainly couldn't have come up with something this detailed. Great time had by all, would definitely recommend (even with the teasing about my mannequin phobia!) 
Emma Hartley
5/20/2018 Great place, great fun. Ideal for family groups, friends and corporate team building events. My work team and I went along and managed to save the world (just!); the puzzles get you thinking and provide lots of laughs too. We had a great time, and are really looking forward to the new rooms opening so we can go again! 
Alison Brock
5/01/2018 Would definitely recommend! It was such a laugh! Unfortunately we didn't save the world and I'd go as far as saying we weren't even close! However, I can confidently say if we hadn't have had to carry Joe the whole way through we would have! If he doesn't shape up on the next one then this trio is becoming a due! Can't wait for the next one!!

4/27/2018 Me and the family went for a bit of a different experience and it did not disappoint. Youngest child was 5 and he was really involved and enjoyed it. Would certainly recommend and we will be back to do the other room next time we are in Scarborough.... Great experience. Thank you

4/08/2018 We came to Scarborough for my Birthday weekend and the escape room was what I wanted to do. there were nine of us in total. I opted for the Wizard Quest. An entertaining hour ensued with lots of laughs and some under the breath cursing lol. We had two rooms to sort out and the hosts gave just the right amount of help without giving to much away. We made it with 32 seconds to spare. Highly recommend the escape room Scarborough give it a go you won't be disappointed.

4/04/2018 - This was out first time in an escape room and we had a great time in The Wizardry room as a group of 4. Very well thought out challenges that keep you engaged throughout the 60 minutes. Really liked the addition of having a tablet which can be used for the host to give some hints and us to request clues. Also liked that it was over 2 rooms and we weren't just in 1 room for the hour. Would deffinitley recommend visiting. Thanks

4/03/2018 We had great fun (it didn't come to blows, and we are still all good friends thankfully) and managed to complete the wizard room with seconds to spare... And a teeny bit of help with the last puzzle! Great idea for something a little bit different to do and to get out of the cold and rain. Great way for our group to help celebrate a 70th Birthday weekend. Fully recommend.

4/01/2018 We enjoyed every minute of this, it was well thought out and lots of detail has gone into this! We got help when we needed it promptly, and it really made us think! Well worth the money. Brilliant time, would definitely recommend and will be back next year. Thanks! 
Meg Heath
3/27/2018 Me and my friends did the Wizards study escape room this evening and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it, 60 to be exact! Really well thought out and planned rooms which were challenging and fun at the same time! Would definitely come again and do the other room and hopefully the new rooms being prepared! When we finished we chatted about it alot and one of my friends suggested how funny it would be if you could buy a recording dvd of your time in the rooms as a keepsake! Just an idea!

2/16/2018 This was our first time doing an escape room - me and my husband and our kids aged 12 and 16. The rooms kept us very engaged for the whole hour - it was challenging but the host gave us just the right level of assistance and clues when we needed it. The puzzles were very clever and well thought out. We had the use of 3 different rooms doing the spy adventure which was a nice surprise as we had assumed we would just be in one room. All the rooms were full of brilliant props and really had a feel of the places they were representing,
It was brilliant to find an activity that genuinely engages all the family. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to share a great experience with others. Hazel Hitchcock
2/16/2018 Fantastic time with you today - first time we have done one of these and had a ball x Salli Pilcher

2/14/2018 Just completed The Misson room, saving the world from Russia. Great fun for all the family. Great rooms and clues. Can't wait to do the next room! Susie Freeman

FAQ’s
What is Escape Room Scarborough?
Escape Room Scarborough is a live escape-room experience. Participants are âlockedâ in a room, and have only sixty minutes to solve a series of clues, puzzles and riddles to enable them to successfully complete their mission and âescapeâ the room â and so win the game.
What makes Escape Room Scarborough so special?
We are the only escape room experience on this part of the beautiful North Yorkshire Coast â Scarborough is one of the most visited locations in the whole of the UK. We have invested a huge amount of time and energy to make sure that the rooms provide a stunning and unforgettable hour in your life â so that (succeed or not) you will have a simply brilliant time.
We are located in a beautiful listed building in the very heart of the town, within easy walking distance of restaurants, bars and other amenities. In fact we are next door to the Courtyard, a lovely bar, and two doors away from a Brewersâ Fayre restaurant and pub.
We have sought authentic props and furniture to make your experience memorable â we like to think of ourselves as the âworldâs smallest theme parkâ! Every experience is accompanied by themed music specially composed for us by an award-winning composer who has worked in theatre and film for over thirty years.
When you first enter our building you will be invited to take a seat in Mr E Roomsâ drawing room, which will instantly evoke memories of times gone by. And then, when the time comes, you will be escorted to begin your missionâŚ
Where Can We Park?
There are a number of multi-story car parks within easy walking distance. The NCP multi-story car park on North Street, the Brunswick Centre car park on York Place and the Palm Court car park on Falconerâs Road are all less than 10 minutes away. There is also some (limited) on-street car parking nearby.
What are the prices?
Prices are based on an initial room hire of ÂŁ50, which enables two people to take part. Each additional person is then charged at just ÂŁ10 per person. This means that the more people there are in your group, the cheaper per person it is! For a team of six people it is just ÂŁ15 a head.
How âScaryâ are the rooms?
We do not consider the rooms to be scary. In âThe Wizardâs Questâ you will spend time in a room which is dark (but not so dark you cannot see), and in âThe Missionâ you will spend time in a room based on a nuclear weapons facility. There are flashing lights (so if you think you may be affected by these please let us know so we can disable them for your game) and occasional sound effects. If you have any concerns (eg if you are bringing children) please ring us first so we can set your mind at rest.
Do I need to be âcleverâ?
The puzzles and riddles in the rooms are designed to be challenging and thought-provoking. However, you do not need any specific skills or knowledge to be successful â communication, team working and creative thinking are more important than being âcleverâ. And if you get stuck, your gamesmaster will be able to provide a clue to get you back on track
Can people with disabilities play?
We will do everything we can to accommodate people with disabilities. Please contact us in advance to discuss any individual needs you or your team members may have. However, please note that we are in a listed building (built in the 1700s) and therefore there is very limited wheelchair accessibility. Access to all games involves climbing at least one set of stairs, which unfortunately may limit their availability to some people with mobility-restricting disabilities.
Are we really locked in?
No â you are never physically locked in a room. You may leave at any time (eg for a comfort break) but the game clock will continue during your absence.
How many can play?
Both âThe Wizardâs Questâ and âThe Missionâ are suitable for a maximum of eight people.
Are there any Age Restrictions?
We recommend that groups of under 16s should have at least one adult in their team. This is to ensure that there is someone there to help with certain puzzles and to prevent them from getting stuck too often. However, we are constantly amazed at how it is often the youngest member of the team who will suddenly find the all-important clue. Again, if you need any guidance on age-suitability, please do not hesitate to contact us.
