With social distancing measures being eased off across the UK, more and more escape rooms are back open for business. The popularity of fun, brain-teasing and themed escape rooms is showing no signs of slowing down, so expect a surge of bookings during the summer holidays!

We advise you to book your favourite escape room sooner rather than later. If you’re looking for some ideas of escape rooms to visit in and around Derby, here's our top picks.

The Escape Room Guys

Bringing their interactive puzzle-based experience to the heart of the Cathedral Quarter in Derby, The Escape Room Guys have three rooms packed with fun challenges. ‘The Grand Heist’ is rated as their most difficult game, followed by ‘Contagion’ and ‘Rough Trade’. All games are for two to six people and last sixty minutes. They can even create a bespoke escape room experience for a special occasion, just get in touch with them to find out more.

Unescapable Escape Room Derby

The challenge is right there in the title – are these escape rooms really Unescapable, or do you have the skills to beat the clock? Choose from one of the four rooms designed to take you back in time with a mission to complete before your time runs out. Players must be highly skilled in communication and equipped with common sense, logical and critical thinking!

Make Your Escape

The bespoke games at Make Your Escape are designed to be exciting, fun, and challenging, putting you and your team in an immersive set with special effects. Using problem-solving and detective skills, you’ll work together so solve the puzzles and escape in under an hour. ‘The Signal’ places you in an abandoned military bunker to investigate mysterious lights in the sky, while ‘Spellbound’ takes you back to the witchcraft trials of the 17th Century. There’s also ‘Utopia’ and ‘Dystopia’ to challenge you too.

Escape Game Over

Escape Game Over is an international brand of escape rooms, with 350 rooms in 86 cities around the world. The rooms are fully interactive, and the fun is in playing different roles to awaken your imagination. The Derby location has five rooms to chose from: ‘Maniac’, ‘Espionage’, ‘Jack the Ripper’, ‘Forbidden Temple of Montezuma’ and ‘Winter is Coming’. So, whether you’re a horror film fan, history buff or Game of Thrones enthusiast, there’s a themed room for you!

Houdini's Escape Room

Based just outside Derby in Kegworth, Houdini’s Escape Rooms is known for their award-winning 4D experiences. With custom-made sets inspired by movies and unique puzzles, these rooms will definitely get you thinking! Houdini’s Escape Rooms are billed as being the number one in the UK on Trip Advisor, so well worth going to see what all the fuss is about.

Escape Time

The Escape Time rooms in Burton upon Trent are actually in Staffordshire but close to the Derbyshire border. To escape from these rooms, you will have to think outside of the box and find clues to help you crack a series of locks and brain teasing puzzles. There are three themed rooms to choose from: ‘Prison X’, ‘Sam's Saloon’ and ‘The Basement’. ‘The Basement’ is only for the brave and those over the age of 16 though, so be warned!
