An award-winning Aberdeen hotel has become home to the city’s latest leisure attraction in a move which is believed to be unique within the sector.
The four-star Aberdeen Altens Hotel occupies a prime location on the south side of the city and is its largest hotel by number of bedrooms. The venue is also now home to a brand-new escape room experience in an innovative move which sees the hotel working with Escape808 to run the attraction from a specially-created base within the building.
Escape From TV offers visitors a 90-minute ultra-surreal, immersive experience where nothing is quite what it seems as visitors journey their way through multiple rooms on a fast-paced escape game adventure. The experience accommodates two to 12 visitors during a 90-minute session, with the possibility to start new games every 40 minutes to minimise waiting times.
Escape From TV is billed as the perfect team building and social adventure, combining interactive challenges, clue solving and fun.
Commenting on the move, Aberdeen Altens Hotel manager Kris Manship said: “We don’t know of any other hotel which is offering an escape rooms experience under its own roof. It’s a very exciting addition for the hotel and we are delighted to be working with Escape808 to create this new experience.”
David Wilmott, founder and managing director of Escpae808 added: “For anyone that has ever visited an escape room before, Escape from TV will be a very different experience. As well as lasting longer than most escape experiences, the game will take players through several rooms before arriving in the final room where participants’ fate will depend on their performance. The Aberdeen Altens Hotel will be a superb location for Escape808’s first site as we enter into the escape room market.”
The Aberdeen Altens Hotel has been the focus of investment totalling £6m in the last six years. A drive to do things differently and maintain a fresh, exciting approach to all areas of the business has resulted in a growing reputation for innovative guest services and creative, customer-focused delivery.
