Half Term is always an amazing excuse to spend some valuable time with our kids and go on adventures together as a family. To make your life easier we have collected some of our favourite things to do around London with kids.

Working from home whether full time or in a hybrid setting is here to stay for the long run. A Stanford University study found that, despite an astonishing productivity boost, over 50% of respondents felt too isolated in a fully remote working situation. Not to mention additional challenges like Zoom fatigue. Yes it’s a thing. So how should you navigate this new setup?

Rainy days in London? What a surprise. Don’t worry, you can do a lot of things even if the weather isn’t the best right now. This list gives you some ideas to make the most of such days in London if you still want to have fun with your family or friends.

Nowadays we have a lot of information that can easily distract us from the things that are really important. When work is over, we spend a lot of time surfing the internet in our free time. Of course this is not true for everyone, but let’s face it… Be honest with yourself! Do you spend more time scrolling than doing something with your family? If your answer is yes, this article is for you!

We have had a very good relationship with the Thrill Nation team lately. They tried out our Print+Cut+Escape games during the pandemic, in which they had a lot of fun to our great delight. The Thrill Nation guys liked the graphic design of the games, so they asked us to make a drawing of them. This gave us the idea to do a short interview and introduce them to you as well.

If you’re looking for fun with the kids this half term, you came to the right place. We can finally leave home more calmly so we thought we’d collect our favourite things to do for you. After the lockdown, all of us would love to have some fun together with the family. Kids will be especially grateful if we come up with some exciting activities for them.

It's an old habit here at clueQuest to keep improving and fine tuning all our experiences. As we refine our skills and learn about new technologies we are always keen to apply them not only to our new escape game experiences but the existing ones too. Although we always aim for perfection we do realise that learning never ends so we never abandone any of our projects.

Remember going into the office? For many people that was something we used to do (back in the Before Times) and might one day do again. For now though, we’re stuck in the strange limbo of Working From Home. But not for too long.

Here at clueQuest we believe in the power of shared experiences and since you're here on our blog, clearly you do too. So you know that nothing beats sharing special moments with those we love. The lockdown is almost over so we compiled a list to inspire ideas how to create new & happy memories. There are the obvious ones...

On 26th March 2020 the UK went into its first Covid-related national lockdown, and we here at clueQuest locked the doors of our Kings Cross venue with a heavy cloud of uncertainty hanging over our heads. When would we open them again? Even more terrifying a question - would we ever open again?

It’s nearly here... the time you’ve all been waiting for… the grand hatching of our new Print+Cut+Escape game - Operation E.G.G.

Team up with everyone’s favourite mechanical mouse - MM7 - to complete Mr Q’s latest training course. A series of puzzling problems stand between you and success as you attempt to crack the case and recover clueQuest’s stolen property.

Easter is the time of spring buds blooming, gorging on delicacies you’ve refused since the winter holidays, and vacating your work obligations because it’s FINALLY sunny and warm! Well, we here at clueQuest give you full permission to continue procrastinating that spring clean, and dive into these Top 5 Things To Do At Home This Easter.

Stuck in on Valentine’s Day? Need a new idea besides red roses and oversized teddy bears? clueQuest has just the thing to make your Valentine’s Day perfect (and win you some cheeky Brownie Points points with your partner!) ❤️

There have been many mysterious forces working against global celebrations and holidays this past year, but intel has shed light on a surprising discovery. The Evil Professor was targeting Christmas for a shocking scheme! Over a thousand agents from 36 different companies spanning 10 different countries teamed up with their co-workers to thwart the Evil Professor’s diabolical festive plans as they played Print+Cut+Escape’s Christmas 2.0 Live Hosted Edition this past November and December.

2020 has been and gone, and while everyone will probably agree that it was a mostly terrible time, we’d like to take a moment to focus on one of the positive aspects of the year that was.

It’s us! We are happy to announce that since London falls into the Tier 2 category of regional lockdowns, clueQuest is able to open its doors once again. It’s so good to be able to get out of the house and see our wonderful agents again (from a reasonable distance of course).

Team building is an important thing for any company and now more so than ever that we cannot do it in person. Since 2013, hundreds of companies have been using our escape rooms and services to encourage employee engagement, run meaningful team building events and to celebrate company milestones. Unfortunately, due to the current situation this is no longer possible to do in person. This is why we have taken everything online.

Unfortunately we find ourselves in lockdown again which is not an easy situation but we are here to help. We have collected some activities and ideas to get you through.

Escape rooms are all about leaving the real world behind for a little while and diving into an exciting puzzle-solving adventure.

This halloween night will be completely different to those experienced before. The reasons are obvious. Just because you can't go to a party now, doesn’t mean you can’t still have a really fun evening. If you’re interested in having your best Halloween in 2020, read on!
