Birmingham Escape Game at The Summit: 5 Puzzle Rooms

Pick your escape room, then work together to solve it in an hour.

An escape room activity at The Summit in Birmingham where your team solves puzzles, finds clues, and completes a mission within 60 minutes to escape. You choose one of five themed games (The Heist, Playground, The Depths, Cosmic Crisis, or Ruins: Forbidden Treasure), and a live guide in English leads you through the adventure, helping as needed. Wheelchair accessible and suitable for all fitness levels.

The experience

The escape room is at The Summit, the shopping and dining complex in Birmingham, so you can build it into a day out without traveling across the city. When you arrive, a dedicated game guide takes your team into one of five uniquely themed rooms. You have exactly 60 minutes to find clues, solve puzzles, and complete the mission that lets you escape. The guide stays with you and helps when you need it, but the work, and the thinking, is yours. Teamwork, communication, and a willingness to try things are what get you out.

Each of the five games has its own story and puzzle set. The Heist sends you after a stolen masterpiece from an art thief. Playground has you completing a report card to reach summer break. The Depths asks you to uncover secrets hidden in a lab. Cosmic Crisis puts you in charge of destroying a black hole. Ruins: Forbidden Treasure takes you into an ancient site to find lost treasure. You pick the one that sounds like the right fit for your group when you book.

The location at The Summit means you can grab a meal before or after: Emmy Squared Pizza, Seasons 52, and Urban Cookhouse are all nearby. The room is wheelchair accessible, and the activity works for any fitness level. Infants and small children can stay in a pram or stroller, and service animals are welcome.
