Squid Happens: Escapism Chester’s Newest Escape Room Is Now Open!

24/08/26

Something exciting has landed at Escapism Chester… and things are about to get a little squid-y.

Our brand-new escape room, Squid Happens, is officially OPEN TODAY!

Get ready to step into a challenge packed with puzzles, pressure, teamwork and plenty of moments where you’ll be wondering whether you’ve got what it takes to escape. If you love a good brain teaser and enjoy working together when the clock is ticking, Squid Happens is ready to put your team to the test.

A New Challenge Awaits

For those wondering just how difficult Squid Happens is, we’re currently giving it a difficulty rating of 4.5/5.

That means this one is a little tougher than some of our other experiences, so you’ll need to bring your A-game. Keep your eyes peeled, communicate with your teammates and don’t be afraid to think outside the box.

But there’s a reason we’re calling this a current difficulty rating…

The Rating Could Change

As more and more teams take on Squid Happens, we’ll be keeping a close eye on the success and fail rates.

The more groups that play, the more we’ll learn about how challenging the room really is. If teams are flying through the room, the difficulty rating could change. If the room is proving more challenging than expected, we may adjust it in the other direction.

So, for now, 4.5/5 is your benchmark — but you could be one of the teams helping us decide where Squid Happens ultimately sits on the difficulty scale.
