Mission: Mad Hatter – a family escape room experience
Mission: Mad Hatter is a family escape room experience at Z-arts Manchester – a 75-minute Wonderland adventure for ages 9+.
“The teapot is warmed, the table is set… but the guests are gone!”
Can your team of riddle-cracking and quick-thinking explorers rescue the Mad Hatter’s tea party guests before the tea gets cold?
“We’ve never done anything quite like this before!” – Mary, via Instagram
Working in teams of up to six, you’ll use a digital tablet to navigate the twists and turns of Wonderland. It’s a race against time to uncover curious clues, solve mind-mangling puzzles, and rescue the Mad Hatter’s missing guests – just in time for tea!
Part family escape room, part scavenger hunt, part digital adventure – all set within Z-arts’ magical Adventures in Wonderland space. Created in collaboration with Supermassive.
