The Chocolate Factory Escape Room Game for Four with Escape Hunt

Escape Hunt in Sheffield is running The Chocolate Factory, an immersive escape room built for four players. It's set in the world-famous chocolate factory of Coco Delite, and the whole thing is tied to the brand's 100th anniversary. At the heart of the celebration is a recreation of Coco's first chocolate bar, The Wonderbar Supreme: your team has to track down the lost machine, gather the rare ingredients, and recreate the legendary bar before time runs out. It's a 5* rated experience, and since it's designed for four, it's the kind of thing that works best when you've got a full group to split the puzzles between.

In terms of timing, you're looking at around 90 minutes total: about 15 minutes of pre-game preparation to get you briefed and ready, followed by 60 minutes inside the room. It's available Monday to Friday, and it's sold as a gift voucher valid for 12 months from purchase, so it's as much a present as it is a night out. The minimum age is 8, and anyone under 16 needs an adult over 18 with them.

There are a few practical bits worth knowing before you book. The rooms are wheelchair accessible for up to two users per room, and staff allow a registered carer to enter for free. Assistance dogs are also welcome. The cost is £99 for the group of four, and with the voucher valid for a year, you've got plenty of time to get your team together.
