Uniquely themed immersive Escape Room Missions in London near King's Cross St. Pancras

An escape room or escape game is usually a real life adventure game in which players are given a set amount of time to solve their way out of an immersive, fictional scenario using teamwork and logic.

At clueQuest, each team gets 60 minutes to escape and a designated game host to look after your game and help you along the way with cryptic clues and hints if you get stuck.

We have often been praised as a quirky and affordable option for team building or for family & friends outings with a difference. Our staff’s enthusiasm and dedication to making every team's experience special, as well as our accessible gameplay and fun design make us one of the UK’s top escape rooms according to TripAdvisor rankings.

You can read more reviews about us in TimeOut, The Londonist, on our Facebook page or on Google.

We've designed our games to cater for different team types (i.e. from 'rookie agents' to 'escape room veterans'), therefore we recommend reading the mission specs,which are usually found on the dedicated mission pages, before choosing the one with the right level of challenge for you and your team.
We have two missions, PLAN52 and Operation BlackSheep, recommended for escape room veterans and rookies alike, and for those who love a challenge, there's Revenge of the Sheep and cQ ORIGENES.

Please note, however, that different teams will have different experiences. Choosing a room perceived as less challenging does not necessary guarantee a successful escape - it's all up to how well you work together! :)

Although our rooms were originally designed for teams of 3-6 players they are certainly doable by teams of 2, although more help may be needed. For groups larger than 6 players, multiple rooms can be booked for the same time slot - for example, a group of 10 can split into two teams of 5 and book two identical units (rooms). This way everyone can enjoy the same mission and you can even race each other to make it more fun! If you have any questions regarding your team size, please get in touch via the Contact us section.

Not at all. We are a family-friendly venue and our escape rooms do not include any jumpscares, or otherwise frightening elements. Unless you are afraid of yellow mice or super-villain sheep.

Anything you feel comfortable in. Our rooms do not require any significant amount of athleticism, as it is more a mission of your mind than of your muscle.

clueQuest is a fun escape game for all ages, although children under the age of 9 might find it challenging or have difficulty keeping focus long enough to engage with the puzzles.

For teams of children under 16 we require the supervision of one adult per team (e.g. for three teams of children,three adults will be required to join them in the escape rooms). Please be aware that our former 'adults go free' policy is no longer in place, and therefore all members of a team must pay for admission. For more information, please check our Terms & Conditions.

Yes. In case you have large suitacases or travel luggage, you can ask our game hosts to store them away for you; small handbags or backpacks can be taken along in the escape room.
If you have booked our meeting room as part of your day, then you can securely leave all your belongings in there for the whole duration of the game.

Definitely. You can add merchandise to your cart when booking your escape rooms. Alternatively, you can also purchase merchandise and team memorabilia on site, after your game.

Yes. We make sure that regular checks and drills are carried out in order to ensure the safety of our staff and customers at all times. If you need any more info please refer to our Risk Assessment and Health & Safety Policy.

We sell a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. As Escape Rooms are a mental activity, they are best enjoyed not under the influence of alcohol. As such we have a "2 drink limit" before going into the games, and may refuse service to anyone we believe has already been drinking in advance of arriving at the venue.

We operate a Challenge 25 policy, and will ask anyone who looks younger than 25 to show ID proving they are over 18, before they will be served.

Due to the lack of a designated 'bar' space at our venue we are not able to accommodate guests staying for an extended period of time after the game finishes. Our guests are limited to one drink after the game finishes, unless they have pre-arranged a reservation for one of our private hire spaces.

We operate a zero-tolerance policy for illegal drug use and being under the influence of illegal drug substances while onsite at our venue. Any customers suspected of being under the influence of an illicit or illegal substancea will be asked to leave the premises. It is a condition of our alcohol license that we notify the police about all instances of drug activity on site.

We operate a Challenge 25 policy, so if our staff suspect anyone to be 25 years of age or under, we will ask for proof of age. We will only accept IDs with a picture, date of birth and holographic mark.

We recommend only playing each game once (unless you'd like to come back with a new group and be a more passive attendee, just there as part of the fun) as the puzzles will be almost entirely the same. Some of our games do contain adaptive elements we can adjust in the background to give an additional challenge to teams that are doing really well, to make sure everyone has as close to a sixty minute escape as possible.
