One of the things people loved most about our Pudding Lane experience was the attention to detail that went into all of the different parts of the build, including the many hand-painted shop signs.
Want to learn a bit more about how we make our props? We'll be releasing new content every month to show you our exact processes. First up, hand painted signs, which appear in all of our experiences.

It’s been just over a month since we closed the doors to our TimeTrap venue, so we felt it was only right that we update you on what we’ve been up to in the meantime and what the future of TimeTrap looks like…

Sad to see you go @TimeTrapEscape. It has been so inspiring watching your journey over the years - I have great memories of filming the early videos with you & Professor Potch. Excited to see what you cook up next ⏱️
That's all folks. 2,800 days since we ran our very first game at the Reading Fringe Festival, TimeTrap is now closed. The first picture was taken on opening day at our Friar Street venue in June 2017 and the second, last night after our final game.

We held our wrap party last night which saw TimeTrappers past and present (minus a few that couldn't make it) get together and reminisce on the last 7 years.

From our very first Experience Makers, to our very last, it was so lovely to be in the same room as all of the wonderful people that have brought TimeTrap's experiences to life.

So many memories have been created - for us, our wonderful team, and hopefully many of you. Although our venue has closed, we want to remain a presence in the #rdguk community. We're going to take time to figure out what direction this takes but hope to be back in some capacity.

And, we'll be sticking around the escape room industry in the meantime, creating experiences for others. More on that soon. But for now, thank you for all of your support over the last 8 years - it really is appreciated.
