Sorry – no.  Photography or video recording are not allowed in the room – and the game is more fun without documenting it anyway! We will ask you to leave your phones at the reception before you start the game. We would also ask that you do not share any of the puzzles or secrets of the game with the public as you will spoil the game for others. The fun of the game relies on the element of surprise and mystery so we ask for your understanding in this matter.
