Family & Friends Activities

Yes, but it's more than that! Our experiences take the puzzles and the race-against-the-clock excitement from escape rooms, but also add party games, big team challenges and a game-show atmosphere. The big difference is size: up to 24 people play together in one room, all at once, with no splitting up and nobody stuck on the sidelines.

Synergy 1.0 is recommended for adults and teens aged 12+. Children aged 6 to 11 can take part at a parent's discretion, but no one under 6 can take part. Every group needs at least one adult aged 18+, and anyone under 18 must have an adult from their group in the room throughout.

Yes. Up to 24 people can play in a single session (20 children for Spy Academy), and we run back-to-back sessions for bigger groups. While one group plays, the rest can use a meeting room, with catering if you'd like. Get in touch and we'll plan the schedule with you.

It's a mix of puzzles, communication and teamwork, with some physical activity: moving around the room, hands-on challenges and the occasional short dash. Spy Academy involves a bit more moving around than Synergy 1.0, but both are only as energetic as your group makes them. Wear comfortable clothes and supportive shoes.

Yes. We don't sell them online yet, but get in touch and we'll create one for you. Vouchers are valid for 12 months from purchase, can be used towards eligible bookings and can't be exchanged for cash.

Our usual entrance is a single flight of exterior stone steps, but we can provide level access if you let us know in advance. Please email info@team-machine.co.uk before your visit. There's an accessible toilet on site.

On Spy Academy bookings, yes: up to 4 adults can come along free to supervise, and it's up to them whether they watch or join in. Synergy 1.0 is designed for everyone to play, so we don't normally allow spectators, but get in touch if someone in your group can't take part and we'll see if we can accommodate them as a spectator. Players can take a break on the benches around the room at any time. If you're hoping to bring a baby or a child under 6 to watch, please contact us first.

Not at all. Our experiences are only as physically active as your group makes them, and there are plenty of ways for everyone to contribute. Multi-generational groups are very welcome. If you suffer from any medical conditions that may affect your participation, we'd suggest discussing this with a doctor before booking.
