Embark on an exhilarating adventure as you assume the role of intrepid explorers on a mission to recover HMS Dolphin. This majestic vessel, adrift in the mysterious waters of the Celtic Sea, holds secrets waiting to be unveiled. Your challenge is to unravel the mysteries behind its abandonment, decipher intricate codes, and solve the puzzles, all while endeavouring to breathe life back into its dormant engines.
In a future dominated by rogue AIs, Puzzled Corporation is humanity's last line of defence. A powerful AI virus has hijacked a cold fusion reactor that powers half the city, pushing it toward a catastrophic meltdown. As elite agents, your mission is to infiltrate the reactor's systems from a secret location (The Rats Nest), bypass the AI's security, and shut it down before disaster strikes. This sit-down experience features four electronic cases, along with props like wires, notes, cards, and locks. Work together to solve the challenges while enjoying a drink and snack for a relaxed unique gaming experience.
Sign up for a unique chance to explore the very spacecraft that launched Welsh astronauts into space. It's not just an exhibit; it's a gateway to the stars! Take a seat in the cockpit, touch the controls that navigated through space, wrestle the computer and admire the technology that made it all possible. Learn about the challenges of space travel through interactive experiences that make you feel like an astronaut.

All players aged 13 and under must be accompanied by an 18+ player. Due to complexity of our games which have been primarily designed for adults, we recommend players are aged 14+, however, younger players often enjoy themselves, so it’s up to you if you think it is suitable. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.
