Eureka Escape
Open 11.30am – 10pm Monday to Thursday and 10am – 10pm Friday to Sunday – must book in advance
Prices start at £40 for two people (more people = more discount!)
We checked out Eureka Escape Room in Truro this week – we tried the Death By Prescription room – was a challenge and really got us thinking. It was great fun, solving puzzles and combinations to get us out the other side; We even beat the clock – just! Highly recommended for a bit of fun.
