    Best rooms in the area
    We've done all the rooms here now and cannot rate them high enough, the theming and puzzles are brilliant. The hosting is the best. We've done two rooms with our young kids as well and they are welcomed and made to feel part of the team.
    What a lovely review, thank you. It really means a lot to hear such feedback. You are a great team and it's always a pleasure to have you.

    The best escape room
    I love escape rooms and have done them in London, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle as well as numerous smaller towns. These escape rooms are simply the best I've done. Loads to do, wide variety of puzzles, fantastic host and really high quality rooms. A must visit!!!
    Literally blown away by your comments. Thank you so much, as a small business we work hard to try and achieve a great experience. It's lovely to hear that we are doing that. Thanks again.

    A top class Escape Room experience!
    Couldn't recommend highly enough! From the initial booking process, to arriving at the rooms and throughout the afternoon of playing the 4 available rooms, the experience at Beverley Breakout is truly top notch! Fran, the owner, and her entire team should be immensely proud of each room and the excellent customer service provided. All rooms are high quality and will provide fun and entertainment for all ages. The hosting was excellently managed, with clues given at perfect moments and a full brief and debrief provided before and after each room. Definitely worth travelling for and looking forward to going back soon! Easily 5*!
    Thanks Reece, honestly I had the best day with you all. Not only an amazing team but it was like sitting chatting with friends. I loved that we all got to talk, escape rooms and so much more. I really cant wait till I have new rooms so I can see you all again soon.

    Great experience
    Absolutely fantastic place to visit. This was our second time at Beverley breakout but we’ve done a few of these escape rooms at other places and have found this is the friendliest and the best with children while still being a challenge for an adult. I would definitely return and recommend.
    Thanks Amy, we always try to make sure children are as welcomed and entertained as everyone, it's really important to feel that we are doing this. We really look forward to welcoming you back in the future.

    Top Escape Rooms
    As a family/team of three we have done over 35 escape rooms each. We highly recommend Beverley Breakout. We did 4 rooms in one day, all of which we really enjoyed. Great games and a great host (thank you Fran). The S.E.S. room is the best Christmas room we have done.
    You were a pleasure to host and what a great team. Thank you so much for coming. I will hopefully see you again in the future.

    Best hidden secret 😉
    Thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. We were welcomed the second we walked through the door. The owner was really friendly and we couldn't wait to get started. The puzzles were the right level of difficult and we felt challenged without feeling dumb! Can't wait to go back and do other rooms
    Thank you for taking the time to leave us this review. You are a really good team and it was such a pleasure to host you.

    An absolute must!
    I wanted something fun and different to do with my girls and their friend so booked an escape room. We were warmly greeted by Fran who went through everything with us and due to the ages of the girls she suggested that The Great Toy Rescue might be better for them. I’m so glad that we swapped to this game. It was brilliant!!!! The girls loved it and it was so lovely to all work together to solve the clues. We made it out with 33secs to spare! We had the BEST time and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Thank you to Fran and her team for giving us a lovely Saturday morning experience!
    Hi Emma, It was so lovely to meet you all and I'm so glad you had a good time. I think together we definitely made the right decision. The girls and yourself were amazing. Thanks again for coming and for taking the time to leave a review.

    Amazing escape room!
    We did the Goblins of Toadsmead room and absolutely loved it! Fran who hosted our game was lovely and clearly enthusiastic about escape rooms! The room was so much fun, had brilliant puzzles which really got us thinking and included some fun little surprises. We've done a few rooms and this is now one of our favourites! We’ve already booked to come back and do another room.
    It was such a pleasure to host you and talk all things escape room. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us such lovely feedback.

We played The Main Event as we have never seen a boxing themed room before and were not disappointed.
A healthy mix of light physical activity and strong puzzles made for an enjoyable experience.

Our host, Fran, was brilliant and kept us chatting after the game which is always a good sign for an enthusiast, easily 10/10.

The theme is based around the local boxer Luke Cambell.
The puzzles all fit very well into the story and none of them threatened to break immersion at any point.
The decor was nice and exactly what I would have expected to see in a boxing gym so 10/10 for this too.

The puzzles themselves were challenging and as a team of two there was definitely plenty for us to do.
However there were two puzzles which had similar elements and so we believed they were supposed to be used together. When I’m fact, they were two separate puzzles and this did slow our pace down a little. But I am being super nitpicky there.
Still well worth a 9/10.

Overall this game was both physically and mentally exhausting and brilliant fun.
Would highly recommend this one with a 29/30, especially if you’re into your boxing.

WOW! Thank you for such lovely and detailed feedback. First I just want to say what a wonderful team you are, it was so great to watch a team take on this room in such a great way. Your knowledge and experience showed and your enthusiasm for escape rooms was evident. I loved talking to you before and after and just so glad we were able to chat and talk Escape Rooms, I got some great recommendations from you which is always a bonus. We loved that you liked the unique theme and that everything was in keeping with the theme from the decor to the puzzles. I know you felt challenged and being such an experienced team this was also nice to hear. I cannot wait to see you return and see what you think of our other rooms. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

After doing the Toy Room last year which we all loved we finally got to go back to do the main event. We weren't disappointed as this is probably my favourite escape room yet. I don't want to give anything away but the whole family thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff are really friendly and couldn't be more helpful. At one point a clue accidentally got dropped behind a cabinet that's fastened to a wall and I thought we would be stuck but within seconds staff appeared with a copy of the clue so we weren't stuck and no time was wasted. I really can't recommend this venue enough and is a must visit for anybody whether experienced escape roomers or beginners

Best indoor activity to keep the kids Entertained - Beverley Escape Rooms 👌👌
Honestly I cant speak highly enough for this place.
We went with 3 kids (7, 9 and 12) as newbies to Escape Rooms we had no idea of what to expect which meant the kids were feeling slightly underwhelmed but how quickly that changed. Within 5 mins of getting in the room the eldest was getting involved and the younger ones were fully engaged throughout.
A perfect way to get the kids together and ALL enjoy something together.
Safe to say it was a massive hit and all kids can't wait to do another one (even mentioned it for a birthday experience)
Thanks for a brilliant family afternoon.
The room, experience and hosting was way more than we expected.
Thanks Again
Krystyna, Nat and Kids 😘

Thank You 🤩 We always love it when children enjoy the experience. As a family ourselves we know how much escape rooms can bring to a family. Time spent together, laughing and having fun. It's always good to see the teenagers that don't want to enjoy it but come out with a cheeky smile on their face, still trying to pretend they didn't. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Wow!!!! What an experience we have had over the last 2 days. 3 successful games completed and what a joy the games were to play. First up we played The Great Toy Rescue…(do not be fooled, it’s not just for children) the puzzles were well formulated and engaging. A great mixture of physical and mental tasks to keep your team busy. Next up was The Main Event centred around a local boxer. This room was more physical but still had a great mixture of puzzle to keep your team engaged through. Last up was Operation Hideout. You have a choice of a 60 minute or 100 minute room and we opted for the 100 minute. You are also given the option of difficulty level so we went for Hard (we’re a team of 4) . WHAT A ROOM!!! Absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Fast paced and well formulated puzzles throughout and a lot of puzzles and we had never seen before in over 30 rooms played. We came top of the leaderboard and this game as most certainly gone into our top 5 favourites we’ve ever played. All this was made possible my the wonderful owner and games master who not only booked us in last minute but also allowed our 2 dogs to attend. On top of all this they even planned a little surprise for my birthday and hid some lovely cupcakes and card in one of the puzzle. Their attention to detail is incredible and we urge you to give their games a try. You won’t be disappointed.

Visited the Toy Room at Beverley Breakout with my family. The staff were friendly and explained everything perfectly. We were asked what level of help we wanted before going in so they didn't give too many additional hints but made sure we weren't stuck on any clues. We've done a few other escape rooms at different venues but they didn't compare to this. The puzzles were challenging but possible to complete. We can't wait to return and do their other rooms.

We went back to Beverley Breakout to play Santa’s Elf Mix Up and the Diamond Heist which is their 100 minute room.
The Elf room was full of surprises. We started off really well before slowing down on a couple of puzzles. The room itself was designed as a family room so we completely understand the nature of how to solve some of the puzzles but we didn’t mind. There was one puzzle I liked in particular because it is a relative rarity in the ones we have played so far. We got out with about 4 minutes to spare.
We then played the Diamond Heist. It looks fairly minimalistic to start with but as you get into it it opens up and it is a fantastic game. There were a few puzzles at the end which I really really loved.
Our host was Fran who is also the owner. Myself and my wife had a really good chat about all things escape room as she is an enthusiast just as the two of us are. The Diamond Heist was also our 150th Escape Room and Fran very kindly gave us a card some chocolate some wine and an “escake”.
We really appreciated the kind gestures and cannot recommend Beverley Breakout enough! Fran thank you so so much for hosting us! We will be back soon for your new room.

Beverley Breakout has got the whole end to end experience just right. We didn’t know which rooms to do, we were travelling 90mins so decided on two rooms. I always recommend phoning a venue beforehand as you learn so much I about the people, location, parking, logistics, Fran was a star!
Both rooms were great and the GM was amazing, already planning another trip to complete another room.

Beverley Breakout have done it again! Their newest room, The Goblins of Toadsmead, is an original, creative and beautiful room from start to finish.
While the theme of magic is an extremely popular one in escape room businesses, The Goblins of Toadsmead is truly refreshing and unique, standing out in a league of its own.
The interior design is so detail oriented and each item is purposely placed to add to the whimsy of the room. You can tell how much time has been spent creating this beautiful escape room just by looking at it.
In addition to this, the puzzles in the room are original and fun. Having done over 80 rooms between myself and my partner, there are some puzzles and features that we have never seen before. There is enough to challenge the players, while also giving them time to enjoy themselves and really experience the magic and joy that this room brings.
Between the 3 of us that played Toadsmead, there is nothing we could think of that would have made it better. We could not fault it. Beverley Breakout rooms truly are the best of the best!
As always, shout out to Fran who is a welcoming and kind host. She will go out of her way to make every experience special. Fran truly is an escape room wizard!

I cannot recommend it more. Without a doubt, The Goblins of Toadsmead takes the position of my favourite escape room.

We visited Beverley Breakout today as a couple to tackle The Main Event.
We were met by the owner Fran who also ran our game.
The object of the game is to retrieve local boxer Luke Campbell’s boxing gloves.
The game was run brilliantly and the puzzles were amazing. There are one or two slight physical elements in the rooms which is fairly unique. Although it was a hot day and it was relatively hot in the room, we still thoroughly enjoyed playing the game. I’ll not mention any of the puzzles specifically as don’t want to give anything away but it was an absolute joy to play the room. We got out with about five mins to spare.
What was equally good was afterwards my wife and I had a really good chat about all things escape room. Being escape room enthusiasts it was good to chat to a host/owner who is as enthusiastic as we are. Believe me, Fran, if you weren’t busy and we didn’t have to catch the train home, we would have so easily stayed there for much longer and chatted even more!
We are planning to come back to Beverley soon for a longer stay and hopefully back at Beverley Breakout for our 150th game.
Definitely go play the game it’s an absolute knockout! Fran is such an amazing host and owner :-)

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. Such lovely feedback from an awesome team. I had been so looking forward to you coming as I know this game had been rebooked so many times due to covid and closures. We were so appreciative that you were willing to rearrange. I was so glad I booked out the room after you so that I made sure we had the opportunity to catch up and have a chat. I really felt that I had to knowing you were Enthusiasts. It 's always great to find recommendations and talk all things Escape Room. You guys make a great team and given the intense heat that day, it was super impressive. We cant wait to see you come back and even better if it's for your 150th Game!!

We visited Beverley Breakout to take on both rooms and we were thoroughly impressed with them!

Having completed a number of escape rooms previously, the themes really appealed to us as they are different and we had not come across them before.

In both rooms the puzzles were in theme and really fun to solve, with some unique challenges we had not encountered before (one of the tasks in the Toy Room was really fun to complete and a great imaginative puzzle!).

The hosts were amazing, they have a passion for escape rooms in general and were great to chat to about all things escape rooms. Their passion definitely shows in the quality of their rooms.

We definitely recommend these rooms for beginners and experienced players alike, and we’ll definitely be back when the third room opens!! Great work!

We can’t wait to see you again when our new room is ready.
