"We started as a little pop-up in the old town hall and here we are today."
We are really excited to put our stamp on something new.
"I think the local people really deserve somewhere where they can have fun and be proud to have something local and home grown rather than a big chain of something. We are trying to create the greatest hits of all the modern and latest fun activities for friends and family to enjoy. "It is not just escape rooms, it will have everything under the sun. "We want something that you can go into and almost jump from activity to activity and keep it as reasonably priced as possible without having to worry about breaking the bank. We have the escape rooms but if you are not interested in that they still need something fun to do. "We are bringing some entertainment here as there is not a lot of family-friendly entertainment you can do. Owners Alex and Monique Souter are the masterminds behind all the experiences and are now launching their next business venture after buying the back unit of former BHS building in New Road, Gravesend.Īlex said: "We wanted to bring something completely different to the town and make something that is all-inclusive for anyone. We managed to escape within 52 minutes and 48 secondsĪs a spoiler-free review, all I can say is it left me hungry for Thai food, the flying golf balls scared the living daylights out of me and don't think the hole punching is easy.
#IPANIC ESCAPE ROOMS TRIAL#
LOOP involves two separate rooms with essentially three main puzzles in each which involve a lot of exploring, inventive thinking and trial and error. Seeing that we were already confused, he ran through the basics of the game, walked us to the room and quickly shut the door wishing us luck. Picture: The Panic Roomīefore we could enter the room we were instructed to watch a health and safety video and then handed our communication device which would prompt clues if he saw we were struggling. We straight away got along with Reece who you could tell absolutely loved his job and made the whole day out that extra bit more entertaining.
We headed down to the company's town centre base at the back of the St George's Centre where we were greeted by game master Reece who was appropriately kitted out in a lab coat for our sci-fi-themed experience. It was suggested to have two to six players over the age of 12 so I roped my friend in who lives outside of the county and accepted the challenge after commenting "isn't the whole of Kent just a big escape room?" Readers, I did not laugh. The LOOP experience has a difficulty rating of four out of five, what could go wrong? Since opening in 2016, Alex and Monique Souter have expanded their escape experiences to online games, axe throwing and two more branches in Essex and Niagara Falls in America.Īnd it's not hard to work out why they've gone from strength to strength, having taken on the hardest room myself. Alex and Monique talk on their new venture
