Now open in Bristol: Hell in a Cell

Hell in a Cell logoTWENTY FEET HIGH AND FIVE TONS OF STEE… …wait, not that; this is about a different sort of cage altogether. Thanks very much to Ken for pointing out the highly positive review on ScareTOUR for Hell in a Cell, a brand new exit game in Bristol that only took its first paying customers last Thursday, which is set “underground into the dark, eerie depths of the Old Crown Court Prison Cells“. Indeed, the review suggests that the titular hell is not restricted to a single cell, but uses much of the “abandoned underground Victorian prison“.

Other highlights from the review include “((…)) we explored some of the darkest and most frightening tunnels we have ever experienced. Throughout the show, we had some genuinely terrifying jump scares and some real moments of tension as we struggled to get out of certain locations. The puzzles were pretty difficult ((…)) We have experienced a lot of room escape adventures in the past but Hell in a Cell is categorically the scariest one we have ever done. ((…)) Add in the puzzles and games, the scare elements, and actors etc, then it all adds up to one of the most exhilarating, terrifying things we have ever experienced!

That’s probably sufficient for you to know whether the game’s going to tickle your toes or not; the video on the web site is quite enough for Exit Games UK. It’s a one-hour game, though allow 90 minutes for the overall experience; it’s to be played by teams of three to eight and is open to the public on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. This is far from a Hallowe’en pop-up; it’s currently booking until the end of January 2016. As is typical, expect to pay something of a surcharge for games involving actors, but particularly when you consider the size of the environment that you get to play in (and when you consider that you’ll be the only team playing, even though you won’t be there alone…) then the price is far from the top of the market for scare attractions at £30 per head. Er, per player.

    1. Hi, Jue!

      I don’t know for this game in particular, but I know a man who does. I have forwarded your enquiry to the company and they may well get back in touch with you. If they don’t, then there are other exit games in Bristol that you might want to consider, though none with nearly the degree of horror of this one.

      Best wishes,
      Chris
