Real-life escape games are trending globally, asking you and your friends to solve a series of brain-challenging puzzles and riddles in order to escape a specific scenario. The rules are usually pretty simple. Channel your inner Sherlock Holmes by using various clues to solve puzzles and find a way out of a locked room in under an hour. Note that every venue changes at least one game every 6-8 months, so if you’ve already tried all the games, you can visit again half a year later.

The venue: The third floor venue at Gateway hosts four rooms, each with a capacity of 2-5 people.
The rules: Figure out the riddles, find the clues and escape within 55 minutes to be set free... or otherwise remain trapped inside forever.
The games: Right now there are two options which see players travel through time solving some of history’s biggest mysteries: prove your innocence as an angry mob closes in on you thinking you’re Jack The Ripper in 1888 London; or fast-forward to 2035 when the world has been destroyed by climate change, and dodge and weave past starving survivors to reach a ghost tower lab and save the world.
The price: Starts at B1,600 for two people, B2,300 for three, B2,900 for four and B3,400 for five. Single players are welcome but must pay the price for two and children may be permitted to have more than five players.
