English Escape Room

UNITED KINGDOM

let's sTART

Subtitle

I am in Brighton, south west England, at the International Summer School and it is one of the best experiences I’ve had in my life. The weekend and day trips planned for us are fantastic! I visit historic architecture of Bath, the beach town of St. Ives, and all of the attractions of London.

Usually in the afternoon we spent our time in the school library. It is an excellent and well set-up library. It consists of a large hall filled with shelves, bookstands and furniture. But on Friday, meanwhile I was reading some old maps, I realised that it was dark outside and they have closed the library and I was locked inside. I was scared, it was important to reach the staff room and call the police.

My adventure began through the rooms full of books, ancient globes and dusty document files, going from shelf to shelf, looking for hidden objects and retrieve clues, solving riddles and answering correctly to the questions.

You can open the door if you answer some physical geography questions
