Escape challenge set to test family and friends at the Kingfisher Centre

Correspondent 1st Jun, 2018   0

THE Kingfisher Shopping Centre is set to play host to the first ever escape experience for Redditch, which is sure to be a fun and challenging activity for friends, family and workmates.

The challenge is suitable for anybody over 12 years old and is aimed to test both individual and team abilities against the clock.

Escape hunters will be given just one hour to crack codes and complete puzzles to escape two rooms: Space Challenge and Tomb Challenge.

In Space Challenge, participants will be the only surviving crew aboard a malfunctioning spaceship that’s been left in ruins after a collision and required to fix systems and re-initiate the ship’s artificial intelligence system.




Tomb Challenge will lock challengers deep in an ancient tomb and left to work out an alternative escape route to the exit that has caved in.

Escape rooms have proven to be increasingly popular all over the UK; however, the new addition to Redditch has a unique twist, setting it apart from any similar experiences.


The immersive themed escape room sends participants into a new world. Every time you visit, the puzzles and games required to escape the rooms will be altered, meaning that once you’ve cracked it you can still be challenged for another visit.

Kingfisher general manager Ken Williams said: ‘We’re very excited to host Redditch’s first ever escape experience. We’re looking forward to adding another family centred activity to Kingfisher to bring families and friends together for a unique, mentally challenging and fun activity they won’t have experienced together before’.

Redditch’s Escape Challenge will be opening mid-June for three months.
