Can You Escape, Edinburgh’s newest attraction, is launching its next mission just in time for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe: Operation Heckle.
The company’s newest venture is an outside escape game which will allow teams of 3 – 6 people to follow the trail of the fictional character Nick Knock who is out to ruin the Fringe. All the team have to do is decipher where he is hiding the device which will cut power to the city in 60 minutes – easy? Think again! There are a range of puzzles and riddles along the route which teams need to solve in order to solve the mystery in time.
Can You Escape is one of five escape games based in the city centre. The company formed in December 2014 and earlier this year were awarded Scotland’s Best Family Day Out at the Entertainment and Hospitality Awards. They already run two missions, Operation Odyssey and Operation Bald Eagle, from their headquarters on Holyrood Road for 2 – 6 people and say they have received excellent feedback on TripAdvisor.
Alastair Watson, founder of Can You Escape, said: “This will be Edinburgh’s first outside escape game so we are very excited to be launching it time for the Fringe. It is quite different from our existing games as it’s out and about in the real world where there are lots of distractions! The feedback we’ve had from our test teams has been great, and we are looking forward to its official launch in August!”
Anyone interested in signing up to Operation Heckle can book a slot on the website, now for missions starting on Friday 31st August.
