The Escapist
Where it all Began!
Bermondsey and Hackney, London, UK
The Escapist was the very first Modern Fables Escape Room and was located in a dingy old warehouse in South Bermondsey, London. The Escapist was designed and built on a shoestring budget with self-built electronics, puzzles and sound design. It was a modest game but put Modern Fables on the map as being able to create extremely immersive, narrative-driven escape rooms that could compete with the best of them. In fact, we lost count of the number of customers that told us The Escapist was their favourite escape game!
The Blurb:
LAVINIA CARTER HAS DISAPPEARED… IS IT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE MYSTICAL POWERS IN HER FAMILY LINE?
A strange mystery with an ambiguous 1920’s vibe. Has Lavinia’s disappearance got anything to do with the cults her Grandfather used to associate with?
Your eerie escape adventure brings you to a once bustling underground bar called ‘The Escapist’, run by the enigmatic Lavinia Carter in Hackney. But now strange happenings and mysterious disappearances mean the bar has been shunned and now Lavinia herself seems to have gone missing.
Lavinia does have a habit of taking impromptu trips though… but something does seem different this time. Has her interest in her late grandfather got anything to do with her recent disappearance? Or will she turn up on the backpacker trail sipping a margarita?
It’s time to meet with mutual long-term friend Alfie who is trying to get the bar back to it’s former glory while she’s away. Can you figure out what’s been going on?
