Mobile Overnight Escape: The Ransom
An Overnight Escape Experience Installed Inside Your Accommodation
You’ve got until morning. Find the money. Make the drop.
You arrive at your apartment, holiday cottage or group accommodation expecting an ordinary night away. Waiting inside is a locked flight case, a burner phone and a message:
“I don’t have time to explain. Find the money. Make the drop. He will be watching.”
Somewhere inside the accommodation is everything you need to complete the mission. Hidden clues, coded messages and locked cases have been placed throughout the property. Work together, follow the trail and recover the ransom money before morning. The final exchange is waiting.

This is not a board game gathered around a table and it is not a traditional 60 minute escape room.
The Ransom is a mobile overnight escape experience installed inside accommodation you have already booked.
Before your group arrives, we transform the property using portable flight cases, locked boxes, hidden messages, photographs, maps, audio instructions and physical puzzles.
Clues are distributed throughout the accommodation, turning the living room, kitchen, bedrooms and communal spaces into different stages of the mission.
Everything we install is temporary, freestanding and carefully positioned. We do not alter the property, interfere with fixtures or permanently attach anything to walls or furniture.
When you walk through the door, the mission has already begun.
1. Book Your Accommodation
Choose and book a suitable apartment, holiday cottage, lodge or group property.
2. We Install the Experience
Our team accesses the property before your group arrives and installs the complete game.
3. Arrive and Discover the Mission
Your group arrives to find the first locked flight case and opening instructions waiting inside.
4. Play at Your Own Pace
Search, investigate and solve the experience together throughout the evening.
Unlike a standard escape room, you are not restricted to a single 60 minute session. You can take breaks, order food, have drinks and continue when you are ready. The main mission is designed to provide several hours of gameplay.
5. Find the Money
Every successful challenge brings you closer to the ransom.
6. Make the Drop
Complete the final instructions and prepare for the exchange with real life Ransomers.
The Ransom is designed for adults looking for something more memorable than an ordinary night away. It is ideal for:

You do not need previous escape room experience. Everything required to complete the mission is provided inside the game.
What you do need is teamwork, curiosity and a willingness to look closer.
The game can be installed in many types of privately booked accommodation, including:

The accommodation must have a suitable communal space and allow us access before your arrival. We will review the property before confirming the booking to ensure the experience can be installed safely and effectively.
