Hello, humans. I have once again snuck onto Mr Q’s servers to wreak havoc - he really needs to upgrade his cyber security. This time of year is a time for fear and mayhem, and I can see you’re all trying your best. It’s very sweet. But vampires, ghouls, ghosts? Please. I’m here to bless you all with top tips for how to truly strike terror into the hearts of your enemies - I mean… friends.

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!

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.

We’ve all heard of the Easter Bunny, but have you come across the lesser known Easter Mouse? This year Mr Q is donning bunny ears and joining in the fun! But there’s a catch - Mr Q has hidden six eggs in each of his escape rooms. Can you find them all and claim your prize?
