To want to find an escape room for more than 6 people?

[Viviviolet]

I’d really love to do an escape room with 8 other friends for my birthday and can’t really not invite 3 of them. Any one in London know of escape rooms that can accommodate 9 people in one game?

You can do two rooms in one place.

I’ve never done one with more than 6 people but most places let you book two rooms simultaneously so just do teams of 4 and 5.

istherainnevercomingback I know but I’d ideally like us all in one room, think it’d be more fun

what's an escape room?

The one in Kentish Town is up to twelve people at once but beat to ring them to clarify if that’s all in one room

Have you done one before? I think it might be quite tricky with 9 people, that’s a lot of people running round doing different things. But I guess if you find one designed for a big group they’ve probably found ways round that!

Yeh I think it would be a case of too many cooks with 9 people.

I agree that with more than six it probably doesn't work as well. The thing is, you need to be able to communicate effectively as with a group of six, often you are all working in smaller sub-groups and need to be able to share info between groups. It's tricky enough with six of you, but, I'd imagine, far more difficult with a larger group. Also, fitting nine of you into smallish rooms would make it difficult to move around freely.
I love them, but six would be my limit.

I've done it with 8 and it didn't work at all. would definitely suggest two teams of 4 in different rooms, see who gets out first

We did a large group but it was 2 rooms connected with a window and you raced each other to win. You could see and communicate with the other team still. Would that be a possibility to split up like that.

I think the one in Canterbury I'd for 8

Have you thought about doing Crystal Maze instead? I think they can accommodate teams of 9.

I used to work at an escape room, more than 6 would be too chaotic for working together. Also the person operating it needs to hear what the people in the room are saying and more than 6 would mean too many people are talking at once.
