Games

Our games are negotiated as part of our franchise packages, but we realise existing Escape Room companies need quality games to keep their venues fresh and exciting, so our games can be licensed by other companies.

We will:

  • charge an agreed licence fee per game 
  • agree a territory to ensure the same game is not available within a specified distance 
  • provide a blueprint of the game, including game steps, guides, inventory, clues, audio and video
  • offer game training at our venues
  • provide a first line support contact
  • provide bespoke props (priced accordingly)
Additionally we can:
  • build games in our unique pod system and ship and install at your venue
  • purchase and build bespoke props and ship and install at your venue
  • bring in Building Control support to help ensure your premises are compliant
  • source props and materials 
  • provide and maintain game systems
  • oversee game builds at your venue 
  • provide game training at your venue 
Here are some of our games, always written by us… 
 
Rob the Bank
 5/5

Easily our fastest selling game.  This is the funniest adventure you’ll send your players on.  

The game starts in the back of a real van crashed through the wall of a bank, with a live actor (Security Guard) on duty.  

Your team will be laughing throughout the game as they engage in very silly activities to ultimately rob the gold cage of 100 gold bars, and run it all back to the van.

Fast paced, five star reviews and never a complaint!  We run this game at more than one Know Escape owned venue. 

A huge hit with Stag and Hen parties, and Children’s birthdays.

The Crazy Cat Lady
 5/5

Our most popular family adventure game, set in a children’s story book. 

Objective: In one hour find six missing cats!

The Crazy Cat Lady is a multi room game that can be built in a relatively small space, with some clever innovations to maximise gameplay.

We own the trademark to ‘The Crazy Cat Lady’ ensuring no other UK escape room can trade with the name.

This is a guaranteed revenue generator, especially popular with families, hen do’s and children’s birthday parties.

The Governor
 5/5

All great Escape Room companies have a Jail Break game, although this is the best one!  

The Governor is set in a Victorian Prison, teams interact in a very unusual way to progress in the game. 

Players start handcuffed, are blindfolded and led into the jail, and a series of fun surprises make this multi room adventure incredibly popular with groups.

We play with every sense, and are complemented daily on how different the game is from ‘boring jail break’ games. 

A guaranteed revenue generator, our best seller most weeks.

Eerie Motel, California
 5/5

This is our largest format, set across multiple rooms and requires a big space to be effective. 

“Eerie Motel, California” is set in a 1960’s themed Route 66 American Motel and is an action packed adventure starting in the lobby at midnight. 

Teams progress through the motel to ultimately recover a diamond hidden from the Mafia. 

Like all Know Escape games ‘Eerie Motel, California’ is rich in terms of backstory, puzzles and theme.  Accompanied by an awesome introduction video (like most of our games) teams leave the game commenting on just how clever it is. 

Beware of imitations, it’s the original and best Motel based escape room out there!

An Hour to Kill, Hollywood
 5/5

The game stars Ruby Rose, a notorious stage actress with a habit of marrying men, and killing them. 

Ruby has nine dead ex-husbands, teams have one hour to find out who Ruby is going to marry and murder next.

This is a great starter game for new players, and very simple to run and operate. We can provide this game in pod format, with all the bits you need to get up and running very quickly. 

Very popular as an intimate game for couples on date night.
