About
Do you enjoy solving puzzles, mysteries and riddles? Would you like the challenge of finding clues, tracking down hidden objects and using your wits and logic to complete your quest? If this sounds like you then why not come and play our live interactive puzzle game where you and your team will become Mr Copplestone's time detectives ready to enter our escape rooms to play against the clock, racing to complete your quest before the time runs out. Will you choose to travel back in time to Mr Copplestones curiosity shoppe, where you can explore Chapel Street in 1873 to find the missing Time Echo Crystals needed to power the time machine. Perhaps you'd prefer to take to the stage in Henry Fortune's House of Illusion theatre in 1932 to discover the fate of the Fortune family. If you choose to travel to 1908 maybe you can assist Percy Pendleton with his peculiar predicament or can you work your way through Mr Chuckles' challenges in his creepy 1950's funhouse?

- Daniel W1 contributionGreat for the whole family of puzzlersTeam penguin puzzles loves coming here every chance we get. Now with our daughter who did her first escape room today and loved every minute of it. WIll be going again either her second room (percy pendleton) or when we get the new house of illusion. Can not waitVisited December 2022Written 11 December 2022
- Lisa S1 contributionBrilliant funWe did some of these rooms years ago when they had first started out and we really enjoyed them. Decided to try out this new location and it was a completely different experience. Even getting into the venue makes you feel you are entering a special, secret place so its exciting even before you start. Things I love about it most 1. Its not too dark, my eyes aren’t great so being able to see everything was brilliant for me 2. Its not too linear, some places are and if you are a team of more than 3 you find yourself waiting around for the next bit. Here we could all work independently to find clues. There were only 3 of us this time but when my other son is back from Uni, we will definitely be back for more 3. Its so well thought out. You can quickly find out where the clue you have solved leads you and the puzzles are very logical. Its just a great fun challenge and the owners are lovely. They have done a brilliant job of it. We could have chatted with them for hours, but there were crystals to find. I will be recommending this place to anyone who will listenVisited January 2023Written 22 January 2023
- Tory O16 contributionsOur favourite escape room!!Wow! Just wow! We’d been told the room(s) were good, but it exceeded all expectations. It had been on my escape room bucket list for a while and I can honestly say it didn’t let us down - well worth the 3 hour drive! The effort in the set design was fantastic - you’re so immersed into the room. And oh my goodness, so many puzzles! I can’t wait to come back again for the next room!!! Thank you for such a brilliant experience!!Visited February 2023Travelled as a coupleWritten 5 February 2023
- Terry4 contributionsOutstandingAfter 80 rooms in the UK, this is my number one. Elaine was a wonderful game host and it was worth the long drive! Very clever and unique setup, fun and puzzles 5/5. Just brilliant, thank you for creating something so wonderful. We will be back for the others!Visited February 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 12 February 2023
- Travelfamilia2Macclesfield, United Kingdom95 contributionsWow wow wowWell I had an idea of what an escape room would be like. However this just put it all on another planet. So well done and ok it might be a little more than you think. But the fun factor is just amazing. You will talking about it for weeks to come. Thanks for a fab eveningVisited January 2023Travelled with familyWritten 26 February 2023
- SplashtigerYork, United Kingdom8 contributionsStunning!WOW! I have now played both of the current Chapelgate Mysteries and both are absolutely incredible! Both games are absolutely stunning with no use of tech! The puzzles just keep on going and each puzzle is fabulous! Elaine was a wonderful GM who clearly put her heart and soul into making everyone's experience the best it possibly can be. We can not wait for June as we will definitely be back!!!Visited February 2023Written 9 March 2023
- fwalsh229Beverley, United Kingdom69 contributionsWow. Just an incredible experience.Wow, amazing, jaw dropping. This review is long over due and I should by now have written two reviews. Two reviews which would both be 6* if i could give it. Sorry for the delay. We first played Mr Copplestones and what we weren't expecting was to be blown away by what is quite honestly the most impressive start to an Escape Room, be prepared to find yourself wandering around in awe and really appreciating this place in all its glory. It is beautiful, delightful and so much fun. Without giving too much away, be prepared to be dashing about for a full hour of sheer puzzle filled fun. Small wins, big wins, it has it all. So many lovely moments and all you keep thinking is please don't stop the timer. I never wanted this to end. Is it for all the family, absolutely. This is my 10 year olds favourite game. It really has something for everyone to be doing. The joy of this game is that no matter how big or small your team is, you will all have fun taking part. It also doesn't matter if you've played before. This could be your first room and you will love it. We have just recently been back to play Percy Pendeltons and we were not disappointed, just another room filled with delight, attention to detail is incredible and each puzzle executed beautifully. Mike & Elaine were our hosts and they are certainly accommodating and welcoming, the whole venue is immaculate and so clean and tidy. Thank You Escape Quest we cannot wait to returnVisited February 2023Written 9 March 2023
- Ames1 contributionAtmospheric and exciting experience (and pineapples!)Incredible!! Played the Peculiar Predicament room and everything was fantastic. First I have to credit the warm and lovely host who talked us through what we would experience. She truly readied us for the room! The moment you step out of the time travel booth you are greeted with an amazing, atmospheric, and well designed edwardian street! Not to spoil anything of course, you must see for yourself! Everything was enjoyable, down to the puzzles, the journey taken, and collecting the bonus pineapples! (We loved the pineapple pen on exit too). Truly cannot wait to come back and try the different eras!Visited April 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 18 April 2023
- Emily Z3 contributionsOne of the best escape rooms we’ve ever doneWe played this as a family of four and thought it was one of the best escape rooms we’ve ever done! Challenging puzzles, brilliant set construction and a really nice twist allowing you to use the full 60 minutes allocated. We’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a fun activity in the area!Visited May 2023Written 12 May 2023
- Pagan H38 contributionsUnmissable!Thank you Elaine for a fantastic experience. The thought and effort you guys have clearly put into this room is obvious. We will absolutely be making the trek back up for the next installment. Went straight to number one in the UK for me!Visited June 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 18 June 2023

It was a delight to visit Escape Quest’s Christmas themed incarnation; The Mistletoe Mysteries. The Chapelgate Mysteries at Escape Quest really are the finest escape rooms in the UK & although I won’t give anything away, the Mistletoe Mysteries is an equally impressive & enjoyable addition to the collection. One of the funnest hours you’re likely to have anywhere.

We went to Escape Quest in Macclesfield as a group for a birthday celebration. We were all new at the game and not sure what to expect. We were greeted with a very friendly welcome and the rules explained to us in a clear manner. The setting is extremely well thought out with incredible clever detail incorporated into the clues. For ‘virgin detectives’ we all got stuck in and had a very exciting evening. We would recommend this venue and we will definitely go back for another game.

So impressed with the theming of the Henry Fortune's House of Illusion. Great storyline and so much to keep our family of 5 busy with the non linear puzzles. Will definitely be back for another trip in the time machine 😀

Wow, what an amazing experience! We have played over 100 rooms and this made me feel like I never wanted the hour to end! It was totally immersive and enormous fun. I just can’t recommend this highly enough. If you love escape rooms you absolutely must do this one.
The theme and decor were perfect. The puzzles were great and the hosts were wonderful. I cannot wait to go back! It was a jaw dropping from the start, I can’t say more without spoilers.

I was so excited to return to play Henry Fortunes, I guess mainly because you just know it's going to be fantastic. Hosting was second to none as always. But the game...the street...the puzzles. I always know i'm going to spend an hour immersed into somewhere else. This was just as good as the other games. Attention to detail is exquisite, sign posting brilliantly and I spent an hour running around with a slightly manic grin on my face.
I cannot wait for the Christmas game.

Outstanding! The best escape room in the UK by far. You can tell that the rooms are designed by people that love what they do (and they definitely know their stuff).

Hi.
All games are have a 3 players minimum, but are doable as a couple with lots of escape room experience under your belt. If it’s your first time or you’ve only done a few I’d definitely recommend a larger team.
