FAQ

NEW TO TRAPT? HERE ARE OUR MOST COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT TRAPT AND ESCAPE ROOMS!

WHAT HAPPENS IN AN ESCAPE ROOM?

Our experiences are designed to be fun, intellectually challenging and social games where your team has to solve a mystery or complete a mission before time runs out! At TRAPT, you’re never truly locked in and never truly need to escape – immerse yourself in our stories and complete series of challenges and puzzles in order to make your way out! Puzzles may be as simple as finding a hidden object, listening carefully to a coded message or communicating with your team mates to resolve a secret clue.

ARE THE ESCAPE ROOMS SUITABLE FOR UNDER 18s?

As TRAPT is a fully licensed venue, you must be 18 or over to attend TRAPT, and proof of age must be produced upon request.

If you are under this age you must attend with your own parent, and that parent must accompany you in the TRAPT experience.
