Christmas Adventures in The Mount Inn casts players in a practical, high-stakes holiday narrative: the North Pole’s heating has failed and the machinery of Christmas is frozen. Over the course of a one‑hour, team-oriented mission you band with Santa and his Elves to find a lost recipe and create a potion to restore warmth, using elements of treasure hunting, GPS geocaching and augmented reality to solve the challenge.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE GAME

An escape-room heart in a town-centre shell

The experience condenses classic escape-room logic—puzzles, clues and timed pressure—into a compact, story-driven mission that plays out around The Mount Inn.

THE TECH

Gadgets, GPS and augmented reality

Rather than literal locked doors, the game layers cool gadgets, GPS geocaching and augmented-reality elements to move teams through the mystery and reveal the next clue.

THE MISSION

A compact narrative with festive stakes

Players undertake a clear, urgent objective—recover the lost recipe and brew a warming potion—to restore Christmas logistics in the story’s frozen North Pole setting.

What the day feels like

What the hour feels like

The hour unfolds as a focused, cooperative sprint: teams assemble, accept a concise briefing, then move through a sequence of location‑based puzzles that combine traditional clue work with GPS and AR reveals until the lost recipe is recovered and the potion devised.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this suits—and who should plan elsewhere.

1
Families with older childrenAll ages can participate provided the group includes at least one player over 18, making it a good option for family teams with teens or older children.
2
Mixed adult groupsSmall groups of adults seeking a short, social, puzzle-driven activity will find the structure and tech elements engaging.
3
Corporate or team-building groupsThe cooperative, time‑pressured format maps well to brief team-building exercises, so long as the composition rule (minimum one over 18) is met.
4
Young-child-only groupsNot ideal: every group must include at least one adult (18+), so fully child-only groups cannot participate.
