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.

Escape the tower corporate client 

Fantastic event! The Square Tower generated a fantastic atmosphere and got the group geared up for the competitive head to head challenges we then faced after escaping. We loved the iPad Treasure Hunt around Portsmouth, everything was so close to get to which made it inclusive and suitable for our older team members.
