The Story So Far

Meanwhile, in a basement under Penzance…

The Lamorna Brown is the most valuable painting in Cornwall — and tonight, it’s coming off the wall. You are the crew that’s going to lift it. The gallery closes, the guards settle in, and your window opens.

Slip past the security, crack the vault, and get the canvas out clean — all before the alarm resets in 60 minutes. In The Lamorna Brown Affair you’re not the hero. You’re the villain. And it feels wonderful.

The Mission

What you’re walking into

Play the bad guys

A rare escape room where the goal is to commit the crime, not solve it — a proper Ocean’s-Eleven caper.

Slick heist puzzles

Security to bypass, a vault to crack, laser-sharp teamwork — pure caper thrills with no scares at all.

Brilliant for all ages

No horror, no fright — families, teens and work crews all love this one. Just good, tense fun.

Down to the wire

Most crews get the painting out with seconds to spare — expect a heart-in-mouth finish.
