From a Victorian Norwich murder hunt to saving the city from nuclear attack, here are six escape rooms to try with your family and friends.
It is the craze that is sweeping the nation where teams are locked in a room for an hour and need to escape with puzzles and codes to crack.
Norwich now boasts six of these attractions across the city, with varying difficulty and themes to suit every taste.
1. Norwich VR Escape Room
24-25 Castle Meadow, NR1 3DH
Monday to Sunday, 10am to 10pm
From £50 for two people, norwichvr.com
From outer space to the seaside, a virtual reality escape room has recently opened in the city and sees teams of two to four solving puzzles in an imaginary world with headsets and controllers.
There are two games available to try called Huxley and Huxley 2, which were created by developers in Germany, and in the first you are transported into a machine dominated future and are the last human survivors and must reverse the apocalypse.
In the sequel, you are taken back in time to the 19th century to search for the ultimate source of energy and secrets behind the legend of Huxley with the help from inventions by the professor.
2. Clued Up! Escape Rooms
66 Prince of Wales Road, NR1 1LT
Daily, check website for latest timings
From £44 for two people, cluedupescapes.co.uk
The first room is called Nuclear Countdown and is set in the 1960s at the height of the Cold War and teams take on the role of a British secret agent tasked with stopping an attack on Norwich.
Whilst this game is already open, two more called the Bank Heist and Prison Breakout are set to open at the end of September.
Bank Heist sees teams break into the fictional Royal Bank of Norwich and try to get as much loot as they can before the police turn up and in Prison Breakout they are divided into cells for a crime they didn't commit and must beat the security system before the warden returns.
Whilst you take part in the games, the owners will be watching and listening in outside and will type hints on the monitors in the rooms.
