Where is Contained Liverpool based?

We are located on Derby Road, Bootle, Liverpool. The best postcode to use is L20 8EG, which will take you to Campbell Street that runs down the side of our building. We’re just a short drive from Liverpool ONE.

​

How many people can enter the escape room at once?

All of our games are private escape rooms, so you’ll never be grouped with strangers.
 

THE EXORCIST escaperoom requires a minimum of 2 players and can host up to 8 players per session.

​

SNATCHED escaperoom requires a minimum of 3 players and can host up to 7 players per session.​

​

Do you have toilet facilities?

Yes, there is one unisex toilet available on-site for customer use. However, due to busy days and high volumes of visitors, it is not always possible to grant toilet access. For this reason, we strongly recommend all visitors use the bathroom before arriving at our venue. 

​

Is there food or drink available?

We don’t serve food, but we do have a fully licensed bar. You can enjoy alcoholic or soft drinks before or after your game, subject to timing and availability.

​​

How long does the escape room experience last?

Each escape room session lasts for 60 minutes. If your team escapes early, your time will end then - but otherwise, you have the full hour to complete your mission.

​​

Are there tight or confined spaces in the games?

Yes. In SNATCHED, our most intense horror escape room, you may need to crawl or hide in confined spaces, some as narrow as 50cm wide. Teams with larger participants may want to limit their group size to four players to ensure comfort.

If this may be an issue, we recommend booking The Exorcist, which offers a spooky but more spacious experience without tight crawl areas.

​

What is the age limit?

Our games are designed for players aged 15 and over, due to mature content including bad language, graphic scenes, and sexual references. Parents and carers can use their discretion when booking for younger players.

Please note: All teams must include at least one responsible adult aged 18 or over. Our games are built to scare, so they may not be suitable for younger or sensitive players.

​

Can I get a refund or change my booking?

All bookings are non-refundable and final. We are unable to offer refunds, exchanges, or swaps under any circumstances.

​

Can I reschedule my booking?

We do our best to help, but rescheduling is not always possible and is subject to availability.

• You can request a reschedule if you give at least 48 hours' notice, free of charge. 

• Requests made within 48 hours will only be considered at our discretion

• If a short-notice reschedule is approved, a 30% rebooking fee applies to cover the cost of a new session license

• Same-day reschedules are not possible

• All bookings for dates from October 1st - November 3rd are excluded from all rescheduling options, and can not be rescheduled under any circumstances. 

​

Please double-check your booking details before confirming to avoid disappointment.

​

What if we arrive late?

Our experiences operate on a strict schedule and cannot be delayed.

​

All players are required to arrive at least 5 minutes before the scheduled start time. This allows time for check-in, waivers, securing belongings, and the mandatory safety briefing.
 

Check-in closes strictly 5 minutes after your scheduled start time.

If at least the minimum required number of players have not checked in before this cut-off, the session will be cancelled automatically with no refund or reschedule.
 

If the minimum required players have checked in before the cut-off, the game will proceed with those present. Any players arriving after check-in has closed will be refused entry and will not be permitted to join the experience.
 

These deadlines are strict operational cut-offs, not grace periods. There are no exceptions, and staff cannot override these deadlines regardless of the reason for late arrival.
 

We strongly recommend allowing extra time for traffic, parking, and other delays to ensure you arrive on time and receive the full experience.

​​

Do the rooms use strobe lighting, smoke or loud effects?

Yes. Our horror escape rooms include strobe lights, fog/smoke effects, dark environments, and sudden loud noises. If you have epilepsy, asthma, heart conditions, or other health concerns, please get in touch before booking and we will guide you toward the most suitable experience.
