How The Dark Curse Escape Room Works

What are the rules of The Dark Curse Escape Room?

In this innovative outdoor escape room, your group splits into smaller teams. Each uses a mobile app to navigate GPS hotspots, picking up tools and magic points along the way.

Who is The Dark Curse Escape Room for?

The Dark Curse escape room is a great way to explore new locations. It can be played outdoors or indoors, and it can add enchantment to conferences, team meetings or private parties.

How long does The Dark Curse Escape Room last?

The Dark Curse takes 90 minutes to work its magic.

What is an Escape Room?

An escape room is an immersive, interactive game where players work together to solve puzzles, find clues, and accomplish tasks in order to achieve a specific goal within a limited amount of time, usually to escape from a room or location. Escape rooms are a great way to improve team work by encouraging communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills among team members.

Are escape rooms healthy?

Yes, escape rooms can be a healthy and fun activity for individuals and groups. They promote teamwork, problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and communication. On top of that, they provide a unique and engaging way to bond with friends, family, or colleagues. Just make sure to follow any safety guidelines provided by the escape room facility.

What is the trick to escape rooms?

The trick to escape rooms is all about team work! Communicate effectively with your team, think outside the box, and pay attention to detail. Work together to solve puzzles, find clues, and unlock hidden secrets within the room to ultimately achieve your goal of escaping within the time limit.

Do they actually lock you in escape rooms?

No, participants are not actually locked in escape rooms. The goal is to solve puzzles and find clues to escape within a set time limit, typically 60 minutes. Participants can leave the room at any time if needed. The event is monitored closely by the escape room staff, and you are able to ask to leave  at any point.

Client Kudos

Like many other professional service providers, we are often metaphorically ‘spinning plates’ and ‘juggling’ competing priorities, so it was great for our team to try these challenges in real life. We discovered hidden talents and it reinforced that working as a team and providing a supportive learning environment are key to delivering an excellent result. Thank you to Maximillion for your support and encouragement during this fun event, as well as for your professionalism in pulling together a slick activity for 220 people.

Lee Hamill, Director of Finance

As always, seamless operations of the event. Very flexible working with you guys. Guests were delighted. Everything went super well. Well done Mike and Rhys!

Horizons – TPG Scotland

With restrictions in place that curtailed our previous plans for the company’s 50th anniversary we were delighted to find a great alternative and a team well-equipped to deliver an event for such a significant milestone. The Maximillion team worked closely with us, making suggestions and sharing ideas to help make our virtual away day celebrations a real occasion. The feedback from the events was really positive and it was great to have a chance to get together in such a fun environment when all the teams have been working so hard over the past months.

I received emails from the participants saying how much they enjoyed the event. Our HR manager stated he would use Maximillion again. Many thanks for all your effort.

TAQA Britani Ltd

I just wanted to say thank you so much to you and your team for organising a truly memorable Christmas party for the JAA clan. We had a fabulous time and the activities and events you suggested really hit the spot in terms of being accessible, entertaining and fun. I would highly recommend you all for any corporate event in Scotland!

JAA

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the Lake District. Jenny & Rhys are extremely easy to work with and made both our Wednesday evening boat cruise and Thursday team building events, evening meal and band fun and enjoyable for all who attended. We would definitely use them again.Thank you Maximillion.

Resolis

Just a note to say thanks for all your help with the Yamaha event last week. It went very well, and the client was very happy. I know she was a bit worried just because of experiences at other venues around the world where things have not gone according to plan. So for us to arrive and see it all set and ready to roll, put her mind at rest.

Spectra

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for the fantastic murder mystery and DJ services the Maximillion team provided at our recent Renewables UK Seminar at Cameron House Hotel. It was an evening filled with excitement and entertainment, and Maximillion played a pivotal role in making it a memorable experience for all of us.

TotalEnergies

The Lego Serious play event was a great hit with all of our Scotframe participants. Such a great way to get everyone involved and really work as a team.

Scotframe

Everything from start to finish was amazing and Jenny kept in constant contact – couldn’t fault Jenny or the company whatsoever. Organisation/Communication was 100% perfect.
