Manchester’s original escape room just announced it’s closing – don’t miss your last chance to play

First of all, don’t panic! Although Breakout escape rooms are leaving their current Town Hall location they are still staying firmly put in Manchester – the High Street venue is remaining open for business.

But after four and a half years of puzzles and games at their flagship location opposite the Town Hall, change is coming – and that means a bunch of Breakout’s signature rooms are being retired.

Launching in its current location way back in May 2014, Manchester’s first live escape room was born. Over the years it has welcomed thousands of gaming enthusiasts looking for a completely unique and fun activity that’s perfect for families, colleagues and groups of friends.

And now it’s your last chance to head down and get your final fix of Breakout as we know it.
