About
ClueCapers offers indoor & outdoor escape game experiences for small teams. Receive your mission and travel to a parallel universe where you will need to work together to solve puzzles and beat challenges to achieve your goal. It makes for a memorable experience to share with family, friends or colleagues - larger groups play simultaneous games. Aimed at adults, we find many children from 9 years old make a great contribution to a family team.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

So so so good! We took our 10-year-old daughter and her friends here for her birthday this weekend. It was such a great experience for them (and us! 2 adults!). We ALL had to work and think and puzzle to solve the clues but it was so perfectly pitched that we all felt we had done our part and it was SO satisfying to solve. Robin - our guide/overlord - was terrific - a perfect blend of serious and supportive, and whacky and funny. The girls thought he was terrific. An absolutely packed hour and a bit that FLEW by. Highly recommended!

We booked 2 games of Vexed in Venta for a group of 7 of us. It was great fun to play the game and compete against each other! Even in the fairly small space of the grounds we didn't run into each other and totally immersed ourselves into our own individual games.
Being well versed with escape rooms we were not quite sure what to expect in an outdoor game, but we arrived by the Cathedral and were given our boxes and the rules. We raced around gathering clues to solve the puzzles and solved the clues one by one. Both teams finished just within the hour and within minutes of each other.
It was a fabulous way to spend an hour outside, having fun in the sunshine and using our brains. We will be back to see what else they offer

Great family fun. We ranged from 10yrs to a lot older and there was something for everybody to figure out and have a go with.
Robin our host was great and he changed our escaped room to a slightly more suitable one when he gauged the age of our group, with no problem. We will be going back to do one outside!

We had a great time at ClueCapers with 5 kids and 4 adults. The staff gave a really clear brief and made us feel very welcome. The escape room was great fun and really challenging. If it gets too difficult the staff offer advice over speakers, but still only enough to make you think of alternative options or refine what you are doing. The props were great and did immerse all in the scenario. I would recommended ClueCapers as it was great fun.

We had a great time doing the Winchintzy game today. Was challenging but doable (with a bit of help) and our 11 year old was able to get fully involved. Nice quality rooms and Miah was a great host. Will be back to try to the other games.

Absolutely love ClueCapers, this is our 3rd visit and our last indoor game - A Curious Inheritance. Excellent puzzles as always and our host Miah was brilliant, lots of fun and gave us clues at the right time but cryptically! We really enjoyed this room and look forward to trying the outdoor adventures next.

My 15 yr old son and his friends had a fantastic time at Clue Capers 'Mission to Winchintzy'. They have experience of various escape rooms in Hampshire and rated this one as the best. They enjoyed the theme and the level of challenge....and they did all make it home to the right dimension. Thank you Clue capers, a brilliant birthday treat!

Really fun - time flew and Robin gave us just enough helpful hints to make it out in time! Second Cluecapers escape game for two of us and first go for the other two. All had fun and looking forward to trying out the Treehouse escape next time :-)

We booked the Mission to Winchintzy escape room for my son's 11th birthday. He did it with four friends and my husband and I were there to help if necessary. We all had so much fun! It was our family's first experience of an escape room, although some of the kids had already done one, and I don't think it will be our last! The clues and puzzles were really varied and challenging. The kids could manage most of the clues on their own and just needed a little bit of guidance occasionally. Thanks to Holly, our friendly host! And we escaped with just 5 minutes to spare!

Had such fun doing the outdoor room (Vexed in Venta)! Really great puzzles and a great way to learn a bit about winchester too! Tabby was a great supervisor and clearly really enjoys her work! Already planning a trip back to Winchester next year to do another of the experiences!

what is the minimum age.
Written 11 January 2020
Hello Matt,
We don’t put a firm minimum on the age of children but trust to parents/carers’ judgement. We’d expect an observant 9 year old who likes puzzles and can apply themselves for over an hour to be a useful member of a family team. If you’re not sure how they’ll engage, we recommend that you bring something to occupy them just in case as it’s likely the rest of the group will be too engrossed to humour them!
If your question is about children’s parties... this is not what the games were designed for: they are designed to challenge adults. However, with no outside knowledge required, some children are amazing problem solvers so it could work for them to have a fun and memorable experience with their friends - with an adult or two to help steer their efforts and encourage teamwork. Please call and we will agree a suitable adult to child ratio for your group based on our experience.
Babes in arms are welcomed and any age in between we recommend you contact us for a quick chat.

Would it be suitable for elderly who would not be able to stand for long periods?
Written 9 February 2019
We do indeed have seats in almost every space in the game rooms but are very adaptable and can provide extra/higher seats if needed. Biggest issue you will face is the stairs to first floor (briefing room plus 2 game rooms) and second floor (loos and A Mission to Winchintzy). The stairs are very regular and do have small landings at half way points between floors where we can put a chair for a quick rest; they also have a handrail.
We have had players manage the stairs and then use smaller wheelchairs/walkers around the rooms without too much difficulty.
One of the great things about escape rooms is that they are very inclusive with no real physical demands, fear factors or prior knowledge required. Please call if you would like to discuss any challenges that may affect a member of your team; we can even arrange a time for you to visit and assess the suitability if that would help.

Can you have Just two people to a game?
Written 2 November 2017
Hello Hannah, our Mission to Winchintzy game can be played as a two. There’s a lot of puzzles and conundrums to solve so we would support you a little more than most teams...

Hi
There's 6 of us in our team & we've done 2 previous escape rooms before at other sites. We've been on your website faq's and we're still unsure about the 1 room v's 2 options & would like some more advice if possible.
Thanks

Hi Chicken Dobblers!
It sounds like you're on your way to being escape room addicts!
We think the optimum for both our games is about 4 people... less than that and you're going to work harder, 6 people and you're going to have a bit less personal space and hands on time. For smaller teams we can offer a few more nudges to help focus your attention (never giving away answers).
So it depends what your priorities are: for an intense escaping experience, race each other as two teams of three and compare notes afterwards; or if your priority is sharing time together celebrate your combined genius collaborating together as a team of six. You'll see from our reviews that teams have great fun either way!

Would this be a good activity during a hen do??
Written 25 May 2016
Absolutely! It's a really fun and challenging shared experience you'll be talking about for hours if not days afterwards. Lots of different skills are required form observation to communication and deduction: everyone has something to contribute to an escape at ClueCapers.
Plan us in for early in the day - alcohol does not make for good escapees!
Maximum team size is 5 but with larger groups you can race each other at the same game with our two matching escape rooms. More than 10 people? Please email us or give us a call to discuss options.
