Escape Room

What Is An Escape Room

Problem SolvingIn teams of 2-6 you must find the clues, solve the puzzles and work together in a real life experience and escape out of a locked room.

There are three rooms to choose from each taking a max of 6 people, so at any one time, we can accommodate 18 players.

​Example of Rooms

Prison Strike:

In a terrible case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, you have been framed for murder and sentenced to a death penalty. Your challenge is to uncover and execute the ultimate escape plan left behind from the previous inhabitant of your prison cell. What would you prefer, being a ‘criminal’ on the run, or an innocent person put to death?! You have one hour before the guards return from their rounds. It’s now or never..

Mumbles Bunker:

There is a murderer on the loose, police are warning members of the public to stay vigilant. It is likely that the killer is keeping his victims captive in order to play a game with them. The victims are locked in a room and must escape within one hour or face being locked up for ever. Use your teams wit and resilience to uncover the killers identity, and escape.

Caving

Think you’ve seen all there is to see in Wales? Well you’ve never seen it quite like this before!

At Adventure Britain we offer some of the best caving experiences available in the UK, from our home in Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons).

Caving or speleology is the underground exploration of natural or man-made caverns.  Cave systems have taken thousands of years to evolve their fantastic shapes, and crystal & clay formations. Stalagtites and stalagmites found across the rocky cave floor and roofs are just two types of calcite formations that may greet a visitor to this unique natural world. Virgin clay floors remain as pristine as the day ancient floodwaters last receded. A caving trip and caving tour takes you to a world that, whether you are the first to enter or not, will leave an unforgettable impression.

What will I be doing during the caving session in South Wales?

I would say it was exactly as expected, it was a lot of fun! Both me and my partner had a great afternoon, we both wish it was longer. Cynan and Stef were both really great and made us feel safe. We would definitely come back again, I’ve been recommending it to our friends and family as well! – M Kerwood, 2023

I found contacting call of the wild very easy, all the information that they sent was excellent and easy to forward to the people doing the canyoning in wales. Plenty of information was sent prior to the event on what to take how long the traveling time was to the canyoning and where to go. I would definitely use them again. Went canyoning at the end of October and was plenty warm enough in the wetsuits provided. The guides Ed and Jay made the trip very enjoyable with lots of activities and jumps in the water between the first and third waterfalls. It was very fast paced with not much standing around. The guides had excellent knowledge of the river and the safety expects needed. Everyone had a thoroughly good 3 hours and were exhausted by the end. Thank you. – D Fricker, 2023
