About the game

Nobody has lived at Hollowmere House for fifty years, yet the lights still come on at dusk. Your team has agreed to spend one night inside. As the door locks behind you, the clocks all stop at eleven.

Each room holds a piece of the house's story: a portrait that watches you, a music box that only plays backwards, a diary with pages missing. Solve the puzzles to unlock the next room and piece together what happened here.

Work fast. When the clocks start again, you have until midnight.

Questions

Is it frightening?

It's atmospheric rather than scary, with no jump scares, so everyone can enjoy it.

How does a hosted virtual game work?

Everyone joins your usual video call. We split the group into teams of up to 10, each in its own breakout room with a dedicated host who shares the game on screen and types in the answers the team agrees on. A live leaderboard keeps the competition going.

How far ahead do we need to book?

At least 48 hours ahead, Monday to Friday. Same-day sessions are sometimes possible on request: book as usual and we will confirm as quickly as we can.

Is there a minimum or maximum group size?

There is no maximum. The minimum booking is £150 + VAT, so groups under 13 people pay the minimum.
