“The shopping centre has incredible footfall and is already home to some unmissable entertainment destinations, so we know everyone is going to love going on an Escape Hunt.

“Some of our most popular escape rooms will be opening at Escape Hunt Bournemouth, our first location in Dorset, and we couldn’t be more excited.”

Escape room fans will be able to choose four differently themed challenges; from falling down the rabbit hole in Alice in Puzzleland, capturing the lamp in Aladdin & The Magic Vault, returning a stolen amulet in Curse of the Pharaoh, or steping aboard a pirate ship in Blackbeard’s Treasure.
