The Crypt Escape Room in the New Forest

A Dark, Immersive Escape Room Experience Like No Other

If you are searching for a truly immersive escape room in Hampshire, The Crypt delivers an experience that stays with you long after you escape. Set beneath the streets of Fordingbridge, this atmospheric escape room combines story, suspense and clever puzzles in a setting that feels genuinely unsettling.

Created by the team behind Scream Aloud, The Crypt is designed for thrill-seekers who want more than just padlocks and codes. From the moment you arrive, the tone is set. This is an escape room where the environment plays just as big a role as the puzzles.

Enter the Mansion of Dr Ghoul

Your mission begins inside the former mansion of the mysterious Dr Ghoul. During your investigation, you uncover a hidden underground vault known as The Crypt. This is no ordinary cellar. Dr Ghoul uses it as a prison for haunted artefacts collected from across the world.

Once inside, the door slams shut behind you. You are locked in. To escape, you must navigate crawl tunnels, tight spaces and dark chambers. Every area hides secrets, puzzles and challenges that must be solved in the correct order.

You will need to locate Dr Ghoul’s skeleton keys before time runs out. Stay alert though. You may not be alone down there.
