World’s first escape room on a plane prepares for lift-off

The Riddle Within, an Escape Rooms team with years of experience staging immersive events, has teamed up with one of London’s largest clubs, Studio 338, and the crew behind Brighton’s successful Bewilder Box, to create two experiences set to take the escape room industry to the next level.

As well as the world’s first escape room on an actual plane (taking flight from November 2019), The Riddle Within is also launching Chernobyl: 10 seconds to midnight, based on the HBO drama which will take place from Jan 2020.

Both Escape Rooms by The Riddle Within are in London for 3 months only before they move to their next location around the UK.
