Family & Friends Activities

Discover Edinburgh's ultimate large group experience for friends & families.

BIG ACTIVITIES FOR FAMILY & FRIENDS

Keep everyone engaged with a large group escape game like no other...

Getting a big group together in the real world is hard and increasingly rare. So when it does happen, why settle for an activity that splits your group up and barely lets you see each other?

Team Machine is different: like an escape room on steroids, it's designed for groups of up to 24 people at once. It's the perfect Edinburgh activity for large groups of family or friends (or both!). One big adventure in one big immersive space filled with light, sound and spectacle.

So, whether it's a milestone birthday, a family reunion, visiting relatives to entertain, or just an excuse to get the whole gang together, our escape-room inspired experiences are like a live gameshow designed to engage the whole group - yes, even teenagers!

Team Machine is perfect activity for:

  • Milestone birthdays - a 21st, 30th, 40th, 50th or any "big one" that deserves a more significant celebration than just dinner or drinks

  • Family reunions & get-togethers - a rare activity that can actually get three generations in the same room, collaborating and laughing together

  • Friends' catch-ups & nights out - the perfect sober daytime activity and a brilliant start to any big evening out

  • Visiting family - show them a unique and enthralling Edinburgh experience they won't find back at home

  • Festive get-togethers - gather the family or the friend group over the holidays
