The escape games at Escape The Fort have been designed to be challenging and entertaining for beginners and escape room pros. The Games Master will be available to help throughout the game and can give as many clues as you need. If you would prefer to receive no clues at all, please let your Games Master know.

The theme of our escape rooms is World War Two, so inevitably there are elements to the game that could be triggering to certain people. However, there are no ghosts and ghouls for you to deal with during the game (not that are part of the game anyway!).

You don’t need to have any previous historical knowledge of WW2 to play the game, nor do you need to be extremely clever. Many of the games can be cracked with some common sense or clues from the Games Master.

Throughout your time playing the game, you will be able to exit the room at any time via an unlocked door. This will be the door that you entered through and this is clearly indicated with an emergency exit sign. We ask that you do not use this door to exit the game unless there is an emergency or if you choose to leave the game.

We ask that you remain in the room until the game has finished, but if you need to exit the room in the event of an emergency please follow the illuminated emergency exit signs above exit doors. If you need to leave the room for any other reasons during the game, please consult the Games Master.

Fort Perch Rock is a 200-year-old former coastal defence battery based in the River Mersey. The fort was planned during the Napoleonic wars and completed in 1829. The Fort played an active role in World War One and World War Two and was in fact responsible for firing the first shots of both conflicts after war was declared. There is a museum at the Fort and tours are available in the summer.
