The recent nomination and voting procedures for the new UK Escape Room Awards has been a fantastic incentive to get organised and play some games! We didn’t need much encouragement to return to The Escape House, after their brilliant debut (Spellbound) but a nomination for a brand-new game certainly catches the eye.

If playing an Escape Room is like being a character in your own movie, then it is surprising that there are so few Escape Room sequels around.
