About Escape Reality Newcastle
Escape Reality runs a set of themed escape games at 255 Hunter Street in the Newcastle city centre, part of a brand that also operates in Scotland. Every game gives a team 60 minutes to piece together a story and get out. Jurassic Island sends players into an abandoned research base to recover a rare egg, Alcatraz is a 1930s prison break rated five out of five, Bank Job is a vault raid against the clock, Enigmista is a darker psychological thriller, and Tortuga Pirates locks a mutinied crew in a ship's brig with a curse to lift. Rooms are built for two to six players, so groups larger than six are split across several games running at the same time. That makes it easy to turn a birthday, a hens or bucks day, a Christmas party or a team outing into a friendly contest. The venue also has a Quizy game show room, where a group plays through trivia, puzzles and quick-fire challenges, plus two themed private karaoke rooms, the Disco Den and the Stardust Room. There is a licensed bar on site, and the team can put together food and drink packages for groups by email. Pricing is per person and falls as the team gets bigger, from $51 each for two players to $43 each for six. Quizy costs $35 a person and the karaoke rooms are $60 an hour. Arrive about 20 minutes early for the briefing. Players aged 15 and under need a paying adult in the room, some games include scary moments, and Alcatraz needs at least two adults. Confirmed bookings can't be cancelled, refunded or moved, and the venue opens Wednesday to Sunday.
