A puzzling adventure in St Ives

We gathered our team of 8 and 11 yr olds, and caught the bus from the campsite to St Ives, and took the short walk up the hill to meet our Game Master, Jimmy at the Escape rooms.

We donned our dazzling yellow tabards, and Jimmy gave us a short briefing, and we were good to go!

We’d chosen the ‘Magic Portal’ and our first puzzle was right outside the door…. this was lucky, as it took us a minute to work out how to get started on the first puzzle, but we soon found our bearings, and knew that Jimmy was right there if we hadn’t sussed it out!

Our team led us around St Ives, following the story and map on an iPad, solving riddles and puzzles along the way with the help of items from our action pack. As you can see, we were blessed with a beautiful sunny day for it!

We can’t give away any further secrets, in case you fancy taking on the challenge too, but we can say that we managed to complete the 90 minute challenge, in <1 mile loop around St Ives, that brought us back to Escape Time, but only just….. with 34 seconds to spare!!
