The Great Escape Game with Cocktail and Pizza for Four

The Great Escape Game is running an escape game with cocktail and pizza for four in Sheffield on Friday 23 October. It's a package that bundles the main activity with food and drinks, so you've got the game, the pizza, and the cocktails all in one go rather than sorting them separately.

The venue itself is at St James House on Vicar Lane in the city centre, and it's a bit more than just a standard escape room. They describe it as a multi-award-winning experience that combines escape games, drinking games and museum exploration into a single visit, with the rooms set in a sleek, industrial-inspired interior. If you've done a few of these before, that's a fair bit more to a night here than just racing a clock in a locked room.

They've had a wide range of groups through the doors, too. Their rooms have played host to visitors from Google, Emmerdale, Red Bull, the BBC and Harry Potter, so it's a spot that works for a casual night out with friends as much as it does for a proper work social. Beyond the puzzles, the venue serves freshly made pizza, a variety of drinks and cocktails, and offers venue hire for groups of up to 60 standing if you're planning something on a larger scale.

They also run Gameshow Allstars, which they bill as the UK's first TV gameshow activity bar and the top-rated nightlife attraction in both Sheffield and Leeds, where it operates. If you're heading in for the escape game, it's worth keeping that in mind for next time. The Great Escape Game is open 9:00 to 23:30, Monday to Sunday, so there's plenty of room to fit it in whenever suits you best.
