HEXHAM’S first escape room has revealed its opening date.

Project Escape Hexham, on Hallstile Bank, will be opening on Saturday, August 14.

Escape rooms are immersive experiences which see a team of players discover clues and solve puzzles to escape the room in a limited amount of time.

The premises will have four rooms, with three different themes.

There will be two rooms which will have a Sherlock theme, with customers able to race head-to-head.

Another room will have a “spooky experience”, and the final room will be festival themed, and will change at different times of the year.

To begin with, they will only open the Sherlocked escape rooms.

They will be open seven days a week.

The ProjectEscapeUK brand already have a premises in Middlesbrough.
