What Is An Escape Room?
An escape room is a live, team based puzzle game. You and your group are placed in a themed space, you hunt for clues, solve linked puzzles, unlock hidden compartments, and complete a clear objective within a set time. At Breakout Live Swansea each game is private for your team, designed in house, hosted by a live game master, and runs for 60 minutes.
How it works
-
Book your time slot online, pick a room that fits your vibe.
-
Arrive 5 to 10 minutes early for check in and a short briefing.
-
Explore the room, search carefully, share finds with the team.
-
Solve puzzles that link together, open locks, power devices, reveal new spaces.
-
Beat the final challenge before the clock hits zero.
You are never physically locked in. The entrance door is always safe to use, and your host monitors the game throughout.

Safety and age guidance
Recommended age is 10 and up. Under 16s must have a responsible adult. Ages 10 to 14 require an adult in the room, ages 14 to 16 require an adult to remain on site. If anyone in your group has mobility, sensory, or access needs, contact us and we will advise on the best room and any adjustments we can make.
Tips for first timers
-
Communicate, say what you find, pass items around, read clues aloud.
-
Divide and conquer, split tasks, then regroup to connect the dots.
-
Try ideas, test safe hypotheses quickly, do not overthink simple clues.
-
Keep it tidy, place solved items together so you do not retry them.
-
Watch the clock, ask for a hint if momentum stalls.
