Puzzle cases and tablets — outdoor, hands-on

Each team gets a sealed puzzle case and a modern tablet. Crack the riddles, follow the trail through the city, work as one. No app installs, no fiddly setup — just hand it over and play.

How your team event unfolds, step by step

From 'we just arrived' to 'when can we do this again?' — here's exactly what to expect on the day.

  1. Meet at the rendezvous point

    Meet at the rendezvous point

    Your gamemaster is already waiting at a central spot in the heart of Birmingham, banner up and equipment ready. Say hi, let the late-arrivals settle in — no one feels rushed.

  2. Welcome, brief and team split
    2First 10 minutes

    Welcome, brief and team split

    Quick intro to the mission, the rules, and how the puzzle case works. We split everyone into balanced teams of up to 6 people, hand out the sealed cases and tablets, and each team picks a name.

  3. 3For larger groups

    Challenge mode goes live

    Playing with a larger group? Multiple teams work the same case in parallel on different routes. We keep the scores secret to build the suspense until the grand finale and award ceremony at the end.

  4. Your mission across Birmingham
    4~90 minutes of play

    Your mission across Birmingham

    From rendezvous to grand finale — decode clues, race the clock, hunt for hidden details on real streets. You choose the pace and the strategy. No scripted reveals, no boring rooms.

  5. Wrap-up, photos and celebrate

    Wrap-up, photos and celebrate

    Everyone returns to the central base. We crown the winning team, share the highlight reel, and hand out small prizes. From here, you are perfectly placed to head to a nearby restaurant for a proper finish.

What teams say

A few words from groups who have played with us.

Honestly didn't expect much, but the whole team was buzzing for days. Half the office still argues about who cracked the final clue. Absolutely brilliant afternoon.
Sarah M.
Head of People & Culture
Got people who barely speak in meetings properly working together. The fact that you handled all the logistics and the pub at the end made it completely stress-free for us.
James T.
Operations Manager
Spot on from start to finish. We just turned up and everything was sorted. The puzzle cases are top quality — we are already looking at booking the Christmas party with you.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the game start and end?

We meet at a central spot in the heart of Birmingham. The game starts and ends right there. You'll receive the exact meeting point and coordinates with your booking confirmation.

How big can the group be?

We host groups from 4 up to 300 participants. To ensure everyone is actively involved, we split larger groups into smaller teams of up to 6 people.

How long does the game take?

You should plan for a total of roughly 2 hours. This includes the welcome and briefing, around 90 minutes of active puzzle-solving outdoors, and the grand finale and award ceremony at the end.

What if the weather turns?

Our puzzle cases are weatherproof, and we play in light rain — just bring an umbrella! In the rare case of severe storms or official weather warnings, we will of course work with you to find a solution or reschedule.

Is it accessible?

The route covers about 1.8 to 2.4 km and is largely barrier-free, without major obstacles or stairs. Please let us know in your enquiry if you have specific accessibility requirements so we can plan accordingly.

How far in advance should we book?

We recommend booking 2–3 weeks in advance to secure your preferred date. However, last-minute bookings are sometimes possible depending on our gamemaster availability — just ask us!

More than a meeting — an experience

Most team events fade from memory. An Epic Escape game doesn't. You spend 90 minutes outdoors, side by side, solving real puzzles, laughing, deciding under (gentle) pressure. People come back to the office with shared stories — the kind that turn into running jokes for years.

Outdoor games build the things meetings can't

Communication, trust, knowing how a colleague thinks under pressure — you can't get any of that from a slide deck. Our games are designed so every team member contributes something: an observation, a hunch, a connection. Each riddle rewards a different kind of thinker.

Grow together — in your own city

We bring the team-building straight to your office's doorstep. No travel, no overnight stays. Pick a date, pick a kick-off time, and we'll handle the rest right here in Birmingham.
