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?
Duration: 1-2 hours

- Ann Talbot26 contributionsEscape room fun with friendsWow, 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.Visited October 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 3 October 2023
- Mags BEast Kilbride, United Kingdom798 contributionsHenry Fortune's House of IllusionSo 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 😀Visited October 2023Travelled with familyWritten 20 October 2023
- Lynne G3 contributionsExciting and wonderful teamwork experienceWe 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.Visited November 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 4 November 2023
- Alex WManchester, United Kingdom25 contributionsThe Best Escape Rooms in the UKIt 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.Visited December 2023Travelled with friendsWritten 3 December 2023
- patricia t3 contributionsEscape room funAn absolutely wonderful escape room! I loved the theming, the puzzles, the decor. Just everything! I had a marvellous time and can’t recommend this company enough!!!! Please try it, believe me your jaw will drop when you enter the room!!!!Visited January 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 13 January 2024
- tessaangellUppingham, United Kingdom70 contributionsQuality set and puzzlesVery much enjoyed going back in time to 1908 to the beautifully decorated Chapel Street and the Mistletoe Mysteries. High quality puzzles and set, enthusiastic hosts , imaginative use of space and delightful hidden puns. Loved it. Thankyou!Visited January 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 18 January 2024
- Carl13 contributionsA Perfectly Designed and Well Executed Escape Room ExperienceWe have experienced escape rooms all over the world but are currently trying to tick a few boxes regarding the Terpeca (Top Escape Rooms Project Enthusiasts' Choice Award) list. Number 45 on the list is Mr Copplestone and we only live in Manchester so had to go. Without obviously spoiling anything this is one of the finest executed and well designed escape rooms we have ever played. There was only two of us and I think the less experienced players would benefit from maybe 3-4 players but either way you will love it.Visited January 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 13 February 2024
- Clare W1 contributionBlown Away!We had an amazing time together as work colleagues. This was a fantastic team build opportunity. Most of us had never been to an Escape Room before, came away feeling elated, that we were able to escape. The whole experience was so professional and well thought out. Our host was superb.Visited February 2024Travelled on businessWritten 15 February 2024
- Richard C5 contributionsTop quality escape room.My favourite escape room experience. Great fun, challenging but certainly not impossible puzzles, and a very well-designed layout. Elaine is a welcoming host too! The best aspect of this particular escape room is that several people can get on with different tasks - you’re generally not waiting to solve one particular problem to progress through the game. Highly recommended!Visited February 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 18 February 2024
- jsaflooringManchester, United Kingdom32 contributionsExcellent!Have never done an escape room so had no idea what to expect. I won't spoil the experience, but it was absolutely fantastic! The 4 of us really enjoyed it. The experience and challenges were excellent. I would highly recommend this.Visited February 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 24 February 2024

This is the first Escape Room I have tried along with my nephew, brother and Mum. Was a superb experience which we all throughly enjoyed. Worked across all generations.
The room was really well set out and was challenging but never too much and the tips received really helped.
Is well worth a visit.

We had FUN! The room/s on Chapel Gate were very cleverly curated. The design and finish was brilliant. Elaine was a fabulous host and story teller!
This is a great activity for families and friends of all ages. Younger children can team up with parents. We found it was best to work in pairs to crack the various codes.
Would highly recommend - we'll be back when the next room is launched!

Revisited last night and manged to complete all the puzzles. I'd definitely recommend this escape room to anyone. There's a great range and variety of puzzles, so everyone will find things that they can work on and solve. The atmosphere and environment are beauitufully crafted, and really draw you into the theme of the room. The hosts are great too - very friendly and helpful.
Thoroughly enjoyed it, and will defintely be back in the summer when they launch their next room.

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 return

We had an amazing team building afternoon solving Percy Pendleton's Peculiar Predicament. The set up is really good, great backstory, very detailed set and some really mind-bending clues.
There is also the bonus of additional puzzles which are revealed if you have any time left (we had to collect jewelled pineapples!)- and whilst these were really testing but it did make it fun. It was also great to have these explained when we ran out of time.
Lovely staff too! Made us feel very welcome and we will definitely go back. We were told that the themes change 5 times a year with a special Christmas set up - book us in now!

We really enjoyed Mr Copplestone's Curiosity Shoppe; the set design and attentional to detail were absolutely fantastic. The lady who hosted us (one of the owners) was really enthusiastic and we would definitely go back. Not your average escape room.

This was by far out best experience at an escape room. The staff were friendly and accommodating and the room is just spectacular. You can tell it was put together by people that really love what they do. Everything is thought through and I particularly appreciate their efforts to make the experience inclusive and fun for everyone. Don't look any further, this is the best escape room in the area!

This room (Mr Copplestone's Curiosity Shoppe) is an absolute must-play! The most immersive and beautifully designed escape room I've played yet. The hosting was fantastic, friendly, and enthusiastic, and the room is filled with so many excellent puzzles you'll be there the whole hour and yet it feels like 10 minutes. From the concept, to the puzzles, to the execution of set design and every minute detail, this room is stunning. I'm already so excited to return!

We travelled from London to Macclesfield especially to play 'Mistletoe Mysteries' as we are escape room addicts and had heard wonderful things about Escape Quest. The game did not disappoint - it was a wonderful experience from start to finish with a real sense of wonder as you first step into the game space. We played as a two and there was tonnes to keep us busy for nearly the full hour. The set design is beautiful and 100% immersive and the puzzles are a good mix of simpler and more challenging with enough to keep both the first timer and the escape room enthusiast busy. A wonderful festive game and a fab experience. Well worth the trip up from London. Think it's guaranteed we'll be back next year for more fun.

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.

Are any of the rooms OK for a couple?
Written 5 March 2019
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.
