The Shrewsbury Express

Difficulty:

2-8 75 minutes

A 75-MINUTE ADVENTURE THROUGH BRITISH RAIL CHAOS

After a wild night out in Birmingham, you’re desperate to make it home to Shrewsbury. Your golden ticket? The Shrewsbury Express—a train so iconic, so reliable, it’s never missed a departure in its history. Until now…

At New Street Station, pandemonium erupts: trains screech to a halt, announcements spiral into nonsense, and the vending machine explodes with sparks. Onboard the once-proud Shrewsbury Express, disaster strikes – doors slam shut on their own, alarms echo through the carriages, and the conductor is hurled off somewhere near Wolverhampton. But the real threat looms in the shadows: Transport for Snails, creeping ever closer, ready to seize your route if you don’t restore order. You have 75 minutes to save the Express, outwit the slimy invaders, and reclaim your journey home – or risk crawling at a snail’s pace forever!

Please note: Teams of 3 or more are recommended for the best experience, though seasoned duos should manage just fine.

Note: This game follows a similar format to our popular Christmas adventure, The Snowbound Express.

If you’ve already played that one, you might find some familiar elements here—so we’d suggest choosing a different experience if you’re after something completely new. Teams of 3 or more are recommended for the best experience, though seasoned duos might manage just fine.

The experience involves multiple team members working behind the scenes and on-stage to deliver an immersive, story-driven adventure from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will we be given hints during the game?

Hints will always be available to players during the game. We do not penalise for any clues.

Do you cater for accessibility needs?

We always want to make our experiences as inclusive as possible and are happy to adapt where we can. However, due to the immersive nature of our rooms, accessibility needs can vary depending on the specific game. We strongly recommend getting in touch before booking so we can chat through your requirements and advise on the most suitable experience.

Is the activity physically strenuous?

Escape rooms require brain power, not physical strength. At most, the activity will require some squatting down to look under an object or to get a closer look at something. No climbing or heavy lifting is required.

Will I have to play with strangers?

You will not be grouped with strangers. Booking a room for a minimum of two players will give you the entire room for the duration of the game.

Can I cancel or reschedule my booking?

If you need to reschedule in the event of an emergency, please call in advance and we will do our best to accommodate you. We do have strict Terms and Conditions in place.
