The Story So Far

Meanwhile, in a basement under Penzance…

The festive vault is locked. The guards are on their mince pie break. Somewhere behind that door is the haul of the season, and you have sixty minutes before anyone notices you were ever here.

The Holiday Heist is our seasonal room, open November to February only. It’s the lightest-hearted game we run — all tinsel and mischief, no scares — which makes it the one crews book for Christmas nights out and family get-togethers. When February ends it’s locked away until next winter.

The Mission

What you’re walking into

60 full minutes

A standard hour on the clock, for 2 to 8 players.

Built for Christmas do’s

A favourite for work nights out — pair it with the other rooms for up to 23 players at once.

Origin Story

The Holiday Heist — your questions

When is The Holiday Heist open?
It runs November to February each year. If you can see slots in the booking wizard it’s open — once the season ends it comes off until next winter.
Is it scary?
Not at all. It’s our most light-hearted room — festive rather than frightening, and a good pick if the group includes children or anyone who’d rather skip the zombies.
How many can play?
2 to 8 players, same as our other rooms. Larger groups can run it alongside the other rooms for up to 23 players at once.
Can we book it for a Christmas work do?
Yes — it’s one of our most popular choices for staff Christmas outings. Book early: the festive weeks fill up fastest.
