Richie Birthday Escape
Escape RoomSaturday 14th March 2026
Birthday escape room session at Breakout Manchester (87 Newton Street, M1 1EX). 11 players split into two groups — each group tackles both rooms. Group A: Underworld (5:45pm) then Upsidedown (7:45pm). Group B: Upsidedown (6:00pm) then Underworld (7:30pm). Expect competitive puzzling, questionable teamwork, and the birthday boy getting absolutely none of the credit.
