Defeat Brumblethorn in Sheffield Escape Room

35 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

Brumblethorn’s Mischief isn’t a franchise or an off the shelf escape room. It was made entirely in Sheffield, built around Tree Spirits, an original children’s story world by local author Kat Brennan, which has been featured in The Week Junior. The villain was even named by her seven year old son.

It’s designed for children, so they solve the puzzles, brew the potion and save the day themselves, while grown ups join in as part of the team rather than just watching. The colour changing potion is real science, so children go home having done genuine magic and real chemistry at the same time.

It’s tucked inside Leah’s Yard, a beautifully restored Victorian courtyard in the heart of Sheffield city centre. It’s indoors, it only takes 40 minutes, and it’s perfect for a rainy day, a half term treat or a city break with little ones.

And every explorer leaves with a warm waffle and a story they’ll want to tell all the way home.

What's Included

Spellbinding puzzles, real potion making and a very grumpy villain. Every child’s ticket includes their own colour changing potion
Tree Spirit Waffle

What to expect

Step through a small wooden door and into the Tree Spirit village, hidden below the roots of Rivelin Forest. Your guide will welcome you in and introduce the Tree Spirits, the tiny forest folk who live there.

But there is one rule below the roots: do not wake Brumblethorn. Within minutes he is awake, grumpy, and has switched off every light in the village.

Working together as a team, children and grown ups search the village for hidden marks, solve puzzles and crack an ancient code to unlock the secret recipe for light. Then everyone brews their own colour changing potion. It turns from blue to pink in your hands, and it’s real science.

With Tree Spirit magic in every explorer, it’s time to face Brumblethorn himself. The whole group joins together for the final spell to bring the lights back and send him back to sleep.

The adventure lasts around 35 minutes and ends with a warm waffle for every child. It’s interactive, funny and just a little bit spooky, and it’s best for ages 5 to 10.
