TEAM BUILDING TO REWARD MORE THAN YOUR TEAM

Escape History: Conquer the Medieval Square Tower Challenge!
Challenge your team to escape the Square Tower in Portsmouth, a historic landmark dating back to 1494, built during the reign of Henry VII. Originally designed as a fortification to protect the expanding Naval Port of Portsmouth, the Square Tower once served as a storage site for gunpowder used by the Royal Navy.
Today, while Portsmouth remains a major naval hub, the Square Tower has been transformed into a unique venue for team-building challenges and escape room experiences. Teams must complete their first mission before earning their escape from the Square Tower. But the adventure doesn't stop there! A more challenging mission awaits, and only the most skilled teams will conquer it.

Mission 1: Crack the Code and Escape the Square Tower
In Mission 1, teams are given a cypher disc and a briefcase, which they must unlock together to reveal the next challenge. The countdown clock starts, and the pressure intensifies as teams race against time to crack the codes, complete the first mission, and escape the Square Tower. But the adventure doesn’t end there - once you break free, it’s time to embark on Mission 2: an exhilarating iPad Treasure Hunt!
Mission 2: The Ultimate iPad Treasure Hunt in Portsmouth
After escaping the Tower, teams are handed iPads and set loose into the vibrant city of Portsmouth to complete the next leg of the challenge. This isn't your typical treasure hunt—Mission 2 is an interactive, immersive, and highly entertaining adventure that includes challenges, missions, and trivia. Will your team outsmart the competition and race back to the Tower first?
With real-time scoring, you'll be kept up to date on your team's progress and who’s leading the pack—making cheating impossible!
