An enchanted children’s library escape room game is coming to Manchester

Manchester’s arts centre for young people is opening a family escape room on 1 April.

‘The Library of Enchantment’ at Z-arts Children’s Library promises to be ‘a fun-filled thrilling’ family-friendly escape room, full of seafaring adventures, time travelling tricks and a pesky old bookworm who’s always up to meddlesome mischief!

Children will be challenged to solve puzzles and work as a team to make their escape…

This immersive experience requires puzzling skills, logic, persistence and, most of all, teamwork to figure out lots of clues, riddles and puzzles within a 60-minute time limit.

Located within a welcoming family-friendly arts and theatre hub, your children will be supported by a specially trained host, who’ll be able to give out some hints and tips along the way if needed. 

They’ll have one hour to escape by solving the various riddles, puzzles and challenges The Library of Enchantment has to offer. But be quick or you may just get trapped amongst the pages forever!
