Gory escape room for people with strong stomachs opens in Leeds in time for Halloween

A gory new escape room has opened at a popular shopping centre in Leeds.

The Escapologist at White Rose Shopping Centre has opened The Butchering which sees visitors trapped in a strange place that is unimaginable even in the “worst nightmares.”

The new room, which is suitable for two to five players, takes one hour to complete and is said to be “the perfect addition to the centre in the run up to Halloween.”

The room has an age rating of 15 years and upwards and is not suitable for 'people of a sensitive disposition'.

And if you don’t want to join in, The Escapologist boasts an on-site bar that serves cocktails and soft drinks.

Steven Foster, Centre Director at White Rose, said: “The Escapologist offers a fun and immersive day activity for lovers of mystery and puzzles, and its new room is ideal for those that enjoy a fright. It’s the perfect addition to the centre in the run up to Halloween – best enjoyed before or after a spooky film at Cineworld, or a pumpkin-themed dish at one of our restaurants, such as Friday’s or Prezzo.”

Ellie McClaren, Co-Founder and CEO at The Escapologist, added: “In a world of uncertainty and often dismal outlook, The Escapologist provides an escape from the everyday to the extraordinary.”
