Access Information

Our missions involve small spaces that require crawling, flashing lights and smoke effects. 

We can modify these if you need but we require advance notice. We may not be able to modify the missions on the day of your booking.

Game masters will be monitoring you constantly and you can leave any time you want to.

Our nearest bus stop is the one opposite Sweyn Road (79 Northdown Road), which puts you almost immediately outside our building. The nearest car park is Trinity Square (CT9 1LZ), which has 6 disabled bays.
