PUZZLED
Step into a world of twisted toys and evil games.
After our sell-out run of Unsolved at Brighton Fringe Festival, we are back this October with Puzzled, our new pop-up escape room experience at The Brewery Shades, Crawley!
In the heart of a small town nestled above a pub named the Brewery Shades was a curious place known simply as Dorothy’s. This place had been here as long as anyone could remember. Its windows filled with curiosities, toys, dusty dolls and figurines that seemed to follow you with their glassy eyes as you passed by. Rumours had always gone around the town about the mysterious owner, Dorothy, who was said to have a thing for collecting toys and games. If you entered Dorothy’s shop she would invite you to play a game with her. If you win, you get to leave. If you lose… well, the game decides...
