What is Escape Hunt?
Think of 60 minutes of pure fun where you and your friends work together as a team to escape from a locked room with a bunch of Doctor Who themed clues to help you on your way. You are right in the middle of your own adventure where you experience all the action, terror and buzz of life on the TARDIS.
Teams of up to six become the Doctor’s new friends and are transported into the future, to the offices of ChronosCorp HQ, where eccentric billionaire Alastair Montague’s efforts to develop commercial time travel have caused a tear in the fabric of space and time, a tear which the Cyberman will use to attack Earth!
Richard Harpham, CEO Escape Hunt plc, says: “We are thrilled that tickets are now on sale and fans can start booking to be the first to play the game in January. We are extremely proud of Worlds Collide and look forward to giving fans a unique Doctor Who escape game experience.”
Mat Way, Global Director, Live Entertainment at BBC Studios, says: ‘We’re very excited to be revealing details of the very first official Doctor Who escape game in collaboration with Escape Hunt.
