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.

clueQuest turned 10 this year and we are celebrating this landmark with raffles and competitions all year around! Rhys, the winner of the first golden ticket of ten (each worth a whopping £1,000) couldn't believe his eyes that he'd won. We sat down with him to find out how he felt about his luck...

For Pride Month, clueQuest raised money for Micro Rainbow, a charity that supports LGBTQ+ asylum seekers.

Last week was International Joke Day, and our clueQuest characters wanted to join in with the fun! Try to keep a straight face whilst reading these side splitters...

You may be aware that this June, clueQuest turned 10 years old (we haven’t been quiet about it - check out this lovely article from The Escape Roomer!). Over the years, we’ve moved from high point to high point, and now’s our chance to take a look back at all we’ve achieved.

To celebrate our tenth anniversary, clueQuest is opening a new outdoor escape game on June 14th, GLITCH HUNTERS. Our Intrepid Reporter sat down with its creators, Andy and Gigi, to find out more…

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 Eli tells us about a very paw-sitive experience!

This coming Saturday, Charles III will be officially crowned King, and we’re sure the streets will be filled with expectant onlookers (including some of our gamesmakers!). For a clueQuest spin on the coronation, we asked Mr Q and friends what they would do if they were King for a day...

Between February 17th and March 3rd, clueQuest was raising money for Choose Love, an organisation that was aiding those affected by the recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria. 

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?

It’s been a long, cold, lonely winter, but here comes the sun and the start of Spring! If you’re wondering how to spend the longer evenings and warmer weather, Mr Q has some perfect suggestions for springing into action...

Beloved readers, you will be delighted to learn that I stole Mr Q’s laptop when he wasn’t looking, and am now here once again to bestow wisdom upon you all. The more astute of you might be aware that it is Mother’s Day this coming Sunday 19th. As the world’s premier supervillain, I obviously love my mother more than you all love your mothers, but if you were looking for some last minute present ideas (pathetic), here are some that she might find… enjoyable.

Love is in the air at clueQuest! The most romantic day of the year is coming up, and Mr Q has been racking his brains as to how to properly celebrate it. Of course, it’s very romantic to save the world together, but what do you do once the world is safe? Well, we’ve got just the answer...

During December we raised money for Lift, a youth hub based in Islington that provides vital services for young people. We filled a giant advent calendar with goodies and locked each door with a padlock - just £3 would give you the key to open a door and discover what was inside. We managed to raise an astonishing £1000 for Lift, and bought them many items from their wishlist! This culminated in Lift coming to play a game here at clueQuest and finding all their gifts in the final room! 

Our Intrepid Reporter also sat down with Judith, the Senior Youth Manager at Lift, to chat about the good that Lift does for the community.

Every March and April, spring cleaning is the phrase on everyone’s lips. Well, clueQuest is always ahead of the curve, and so we’ve decided now is the perfect time to give our rooms a coat of paint! Our Gamesmakers have been busy sprucing everything up ready for future agents.

clueQuest is made up of many people, from the Gamesmakers who run our missions, to the visiting agents who come to save the world. One pair who keep clueQuest running smoothly is our customer service team, Jonnie and Ophelie. Our Intrepid Reporter sat down with them to discover who exactly it is on the other side of the phone...

A new year is the perfect opportunity to start afresh, and what better way to do that than by making a resolution? We’re a week into 2023, but if you’re still searching for ideas, here’s what some of our agents have decided to stick to this year!

Falling Star is back with an updated online game system for a great puzzle experience. We’re very proud of this new incarnation - it has some fiendishly fun puzzles, and it’s one of the best looking games we’ve ever made. A lot of sweat and tears has gone into this (thankfully not much blood) and we really hope that many more of you will get to enjoy it now.
