What is the difference between one theme escape game and the Library?

Traditional escape games have always been about escaping from a singularly themed escape room(s) within 60 minutes. The Library of Broken Books is a multi-genre, multi-world action-packed adventure where our librarians will lead you through a variety of different, exciting stories in one visit. You will not be confined to one escape game or theme for an hour. Your goal is to collect as many magical keys as you can, and to earn a place on our leaderboard. Think of it as a big and best mix of Immersive Theatre, Escape Games, and Adventure Game shows!

How difficult are the games?

The Library of Broken Books is an exciting, fun multi-genre, multi-world experience. The Library is our new format and is a hybrid of Escape Games, Immersive Theatre and Game Shows.

Unlike traditional escape games, you don’t have to worry about difficulty levels. With us, you’ll experience various stories and challenges, each containing a multitude of different yet exciting puzzles and challenges. If you find yourself stuck on one challenge, unlike old-style escape rooms, your progress will not be immediately halted! There is always something else to explore.

I can’t find your front entrance! Where are you located?

 Our main entrance is located on Park Row! Please do not go to the main reception of 7 Park Row, instead, walk down Park Row as if you are walking to the train station and you will find our entrance to your left. Our Library is in the basement so you must go to our separate entrance.
