Your Mission

One ship. No crew. No explanation.

Somewhere in the Celtic Sea, HMS Dolphin has been discovered drifting silently. There is no sign of her crew and her engines are dead.

You and your team have been sent aboard to investigate. Search the ship, decipher messages, uncover hidden compartments and piece together the mystery before attempting something nobody else has managed: restarting HMS Dolphin and bringing her safely home.

But be warned, not everything aboard HMS Dolphin is quite what it seems.

This isn't a room full of padlocks.

Abandon Ship took six months to design and build from the ground up. Every puzzle, mechanism and piece of technology was created specifically for the game.

Hidden compartments, tactile controls, cryptic telegrams, smart lighting, custom electronics and an onboard ship computer combine to make the room react to what you do.

✓ Custom-built puzzles ✓ Interactive technology ✓ Physical & mental challenges ✓ Integrated clue system ✓ Story-driven gameplay ✓ Personalised surprises

One of the best, if not the best escape room we've ever played as a family. So many good puzzles, twists and turns. Great scenery and immersive sound.
