From the award winning Paradox Parlours, a fantastic introduction for children, to the fun and thinking of Escape Rooms. Help solve the puzzles, which unlock the boxes, that give clues, to help complete the trail and find the treasure! Are you up to the task of sailing the high seas and solving six puzzles to find the pirate treasure at the end?
Using the map to lead you to each location, you'll need the pirate map and information discovered at each site to crack the codes to get into the boxes. Once you have managed to open all the boxes you'll hopefully have all the information you need to complete the trail and find the treasure. It's a delightful fusion of fun and learning, where the joy of discovery reigns supreme. A puzzle solving experience that nurtures problem-solving skills in an exciting way!
What else is here during this event? The Vyne has a gift shop, tea-room (handy for hot drinks and top-up snacks) and accessible visitor toilets with baby changing facilities on site. The gardens have hard gravel paths suitable for wheelchairs and buggies and picnics are welcome.
