On the first day of Christmas, clueQuest gave to me all sorts of goodies (no French Hens or Turtle Doves, though)! We asked some clueQuest agents what they wanted for Christmas this year…

As 2023 draws to a close, we want to take the chance to look back and reflect on all that clueQuest has achieved over the last twelve months. This has been the year of our tenth anniversary, and what a year it’s been!

It’s what’s on the inside that matters, but sometimes the outside is important too! As Christmas fast approaches, we’ve gone out of our way to ensure that clueQuest is looking its best, with decorations as far as the eye can see.

The weather outside is frightful, and our clueQuest agents are so delightful. So if you’ve nowhere to go, why not see what Mr Q suggests?

When people think of Escape Rooms, they often think of scary environments. Zombies in rooms, masked faces leaping out at you - every second tube advert is promoting the Saw escape attraction! There’s even a horror movie about being trapped in an escape room. Here at clueQuest though, we stay away from the fear factor. But why?

Ah, the first date! A moment sprinkled with tiny butterflies in your stomach, a dash of nervousness, and a generous dose of excitement. Choosing the perfect setting for this memorable occasion can be a puzzle in itself. But fret not, for we have cracked the code: an escape room adventure at clueQuest!

Humans of clueQuest is all about the sweet and hilarious stories our Gamesmakers see through CCTV in our escape room games. In this one, Agent Rowen tells us about a blast from the past!

When Operation Blacksheep opened in 2014, we made sure that all our props were the best of the best. Nine years on, we’re still striving for the best quality in our rooms, and so we regularly update our items in the room to make sure we’re delivering top standards. In this article, we take a look behind the scenes at how we replaced a vital prop… the Operation Blacksheep safe.

We sat down with Karan, the winner of our Golden Ticket from the second of our Tenth Anniversary Raffles.  He might be new to the world of escape rooms with just two games under his belt, but he will soon become a clueQuest expert with a £1,000 Golden Ticket in his pocket!

It may seem unbelievable, but top scientists at clueQuest Labs have discovered new information that proves beyond reasonable doubt that playing clueQuest’s new outdoor escape game, Glitch Hunters, makes you a better person. This may sound surprising, but they’ve shown us the research and it’s completely accurate. For the avoidance of any doubt, we’ve asked for special permission to display their findings here, and they have graciously allowed our request. Read on for one hundred percent true scientific fact…

Summertime, and the living is easy. What’s hard is figuring out what sort of activity could suit your smorgasbord of friends. Perhaps a trip to an outdoor cinema, or a game of football in honour of the Lionesses? (If you’re looking for even more ideas, why not check out Mr Q’s Picks: Summer Fun?). It’s tough to find things that a large group of people can call be participate, so it’s understandable if you’re thinking your options are pretty limited.
