About

Step into the dark world of Mary Shelley and her greatest creation, Frankenstein.

Extending over four atmospheric floors, including their dank foreboding basement, immerse yourself in Mary Shelley’s complex and often tragic past, and uncover the true story behind the world’s favourite monster.

Bursting with unusual artefacts and vintage items, interactive multi-sensory environments and assorted body parts, Mary Shelley’s House of Frankenstein delivers an unnervingly visceral, illuminating and entertaining experience.

The Escape Room

The clock is ticking for you to unlock the mysteries of an unhinged mind and, more critically, your way out to freedom

Welcome to Victor Frankenstein’s creepy attic quarters strewn with insane equations, strange artefacts and miscellaneous body parts.

Victor is close to unlocking the mysteries of life and requires just a few key components to fulfil his maniacal quest. Having coerced you into his quarters with promises of “riches beyond your wildest dreams”, it’s actually your vital organs he’s after!

The Escape Room is a multiple puzzle-based game suitable for groups and families with older children.

Please be advised - The Escape Room is a dark disorientating area with some confined spaces and may not be suitable for those who suffer with claustrophobia or have a nervous disposition. Special effects, audio and flashing lighting are used throughout and therefore may not be advisable for those with photosensitive epilepsy.
