1. Can you Escape from Breakout Liverpool?

At Breakout Liverpool you have 60 minutes to escape from a locked room by working as a team, finding the hidden clues and solving some fiendish puzzles.

With no less than 12 different rooms to choose from, each with its own unique and exciting scenario, and varying levels of difficulty, you'll want to go back again and again.  Here are just a few of the options available:

Sabotage:  Go behind enemy lines to sabotage a missile strike that threatens the whole world.

The Detective Office:  A young detective has been murdered, and you're in the frame.  Can you find out who killed him and why?  (There are two copies of this room - larger groups can book both rooms, split into two teams and race to escape).

Vacancy:  You book into your hotel at the end of a long journey, but when you put your bag on the bed, a 60-minute countdown begins.  You try the door but it's locked!  You've checked in, but will you ever check out?

With loud music, flashing lights and lots of UV - this isn't like your grandpa's golf.

Gary - Visit Gary's scrap metal, putt through the UV disco room under the glitterballs and try for a hole-in-one under the lights.

Pablo - Golf in the jungle littered with the skulls of those who played before you.  Avoid the pirate boats and UFC bears or you might share their fate.

Bozo - This might be the scariest golf course around - a fairground nightmare with a hall of mirrors, a Ferris wheel and the scariest clown you'll ever meet on a golf course.

Junkyard Golf also has bars serving beer, spirits and a great range of cocktails and soft drinks.
