Parking advice
Free parking is available at the Dunkeld West Centre. During the day you can park at either the front of the rear of the centre. In busy times the parking in the front of the centre does get full but you can always find parking behind the centre. Both parking areas are patrolled by security and monitored by cameras. At night, we recommend you park at the rear parking where the restaurant patrons usually park. The rear parking is better monitored by the security guards at night.
How to find us as the centre
We are located in the office block on the first floor. If you parked in front of the centre, look for Dunkled Fruit and Flowers and follow the ramp down towards the flower shop. Once you pass the flower shop you will see the entrance to the office block in front of you – the guard at the desk will direct you up to the first floor. If you parked in the rear of the centre, look for a walkway with a sign “To Offices and Medical Suites”. Facing the centre, this is to the right of the DW11 restaurant (look for the green awnings). Walk up the passage and the entrance to the office block will be on your right (just as you see the flower shop in front of you).
FAQs
Real-life room escape games are a type of adventure game in which you are "trapped" in a room with your friends, family or work mates. This is real – not a computer game. Use your sense of adventure, imagination, lateral thinking, powers of observation, and teamwork. Crack a series of stimulating, challenging and fun puzzles. Solve the mystery and escape the room within the time limit.
No, you can exit at any time.
The puzzles need no specific mathematical or language skills. They are based on powers of observation, lateral thinking and logic. Anyone can solve them.
A minimum number of 2 people can participate. The maximum capacity of each room is 6 people.
Your progress will be monitored by a facilitator on a webcam. You will have a walkie-talkie to talk to the facilitator and can ask for help at any time.
Escape Room is an adult activity. There is no offensive or unsuitable content but the puzzles assume an adult’s cognitive ability and safety considerations assume an adult. We recommend it from age 12 upwards. 10 and 11 year olds are allowed to participate but we cannot guarantee they will enjoy it. Children under 10 are not allowed. There must be one person 18 or older in each group. Escape Room is a great family activity. If you are planning a birthday party for a child, please speak to us to discuss suitability and logistics. If you are under 18 you will need the written permission of a parent or guardian (the form can be downloaded from the booking section of the website for completion in advance).
We recommend that you arrive at least 15 minutes before your group's start time to complete the formalities and prepare. If you arrive late, you will have less time to escape from the room.
