It’s getting close to Christmas and you’re excited to see what gifts await you under the tree. The house has been empty all day and on your return you notice something amiss, the gifts have all gone! There is no sign anywhere but a note has been left. The gifts will be returned but only if you can figure out who has taken them.
Can you figure out who stole Christmas and save the day for everyone?

Please note that we advice playing our games on a desktop or laptop as there may be issues with using tablets and phones.
"I've done quite a few online escape rooms (both with and without live avatars) and Modern Detective has been one of my favourites. It's really easy to navigate and you can each control where you look in the room, rather than one person sharing a screen and everybody else telling them what to do. The puzzles are really varied and if you get stuck (which we did, a few times!), there are helpful hints. It took us an embarrassingly long time to escape (at least 2 & 1/2 hours) but it meant that £20 turned into an entire evening's entertainment. And while it took us ages to complete, there was never a time when where we were faced with a impossible to solve task; some rooms I've done has had puzzles so frustratingly complicated, that even with clues you still can't work them out. These puzzles were challenging but always enjoyable. At the time of writing this, the company only has two online games (we'll be doing the other one soon!), but I really hope they turn their other non-online escape rooms into online ones."

An escape room is where we put your team in a themed room and you must try and escape by solving puzzles and challenges. You will have 60 minutes to complete the mission. Each game is for 2-6 people however No Place Like Gnome and Elf Who can accommodate up to 8 players.
We have a large, free car park for our customers so you don't need to worry about finding somewhere to leave your car or having charge to pay for parking.
The experiences are for people of all backgrounds and genders who love puzzles and interactive challenges. Please note that children under the age of 16 will need to be accompanied by an adult in the escape games. We do not allow anyone under the age of 7yrs.
Our opening hours vary during the year due to increased heating costs during the colder months. Up to date availability can be checked at any time by clicking any Book Now button on our website. Booking in advance is required. If its less than 2 hours before the game please call us to check availability.
We would recommend you to wear comfortable clothes and shoes you can move around in.
We recommend teams to arrive at the time they booked ready for your briefing and introduction.
Our prices will vary per person depending on the size of the group. The more players in a booking, the cheaper it is! Bookings can be reserved through our online booking system and will require a minimum group of 2 people to a maximum of 8 people for selected rooms.
All our games have good size rooms with a reasonable ceiling height. Players are also free to exit the rooms at any time during the game (excluding Prison Break, it is a prison so you are locked in). Speak to any member of our team if you have any concerns.
Each of our rooms are designed to be a challenge, but they are not unbeatable! Every room is solvable if you work as a team.
Either you are successful and you achieve the game objective or you run out of time and the game is over.
We are delighted to advise that we can accommodate wheelchair users in all games apart from Prison Break. There are ramps available to enter the building and at all fire escapes.
In order to provide the best possible experience for all of our customers we run with staggered start times and we do not mix groups. We're afraid we do not have a waiting area for anyone who isn't playing one of our games.
We love dogs here at Lakes Escapes. You are welcome to bring yours with you so long as they are clean, dry, well behaved and house trained.
