Cornwall Escape Room Challenge

The Cornwall Escape Room Challenge 2026

Three Cornwall venues. One family challenge. One local cause.

Book an escape-room adventure between 17 August and 17 September 2026 and take part in the Cornwall Escape Room Challenge.

Choose from three participating venues across Cornwall. Your game can be played on any subsequently available date — the date you make your booking is what counts.

For every qualifying booking, £1 supports Quiet Connections CIC. Your qualifying booking will also receive an entry into our prize draw to win a private escape-room experience for up to seven players.

Book during the challenge. Play whenever suits your family.

Four Simple Steps

  1. Choose your room

    Explore the participating venues and find the adventure that suits your family.

    The participating venue will contribute £1 from your qualifying booking to Quiet Connections CIC.

  4. Enter the prize draw

    Every qualifying booking receives one entry for the chance to win a private escape-room experience for up to seven players.

Supporting Quiet Connections CIC

Quiet Connections is a Cornwall-based Community Interest Company. It creates opportunities for quiet, sensitive and shy people to make meaningful connections, experience belonging and flourish as themselves.

The Cornwall Escape Room Challenge brings local businesses and families together to support that work.

£1 from every qualifying booking will be contributed to Quiet Connections CIC.

The final total will be published on this page after the campaign has ended.

The contribution is funded by the participating venue and is not an additional customer charge.

Win an Escape-Room Experience for Up to Seven Players

Every qualifying booking receives one entry into the Cornwall Escape Room Challenge prize draw.

One winner will receive a voucher for a private escape-room experience for up to seven players at a participating venue.

The winner may choose from eligible games across the three participating venues, subject to the selected game’s normal player capacity, availability and booking restrictions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to play between 17 August and 17 September?

No. Your booking must be made during the campaign period, but the game may be played on any subsequently available date.

Is £1 added to the price of my booking?

No. It is not an additional customer charge. The participating venue will contribute £1 from every qualifying booking.

Is the contribution £1 per player?

No. It is £1 per qualifying booking, regardless of the number of players in the team.

What is a qualifying booking?

A new paid booking for a game, made directly with one of the three participating venues between 00:00 on 17 August 2026 and 23:59 on 17 September 2026. Cancelled, fully refunded and complimentary bookings do not qualify, and neither do gift-voucher purchases.

Do gift vouchers count?

No. A gift voucher is not a booking, so buying one does not qualify. If someone redeems a voucher by booking a game during the campaign period, that booking qualifies in the normal way.

Can I choose any venue?

Yes. Choose whichever participating venue and game best suits your family.

What can I win?

One private escape-room experience for up to seven players at a participating venue, subject to the selected game’s capacity and availability.

Is Quiet Connections a charity?

Quiet Connections is a Cornwall-based Community Interest Company, or CIC. It creates opportunities for quieter people to connect, belong and flourish.

When will the winner be selected?

The winner will be selected after all qualifying entries have been collected from the three venues. The draw is expected to take place on 22 September 2026.

How will the amount raised be announced?

The final contribution total will be published on this page and through participating venues’ social channels after the campaign.
