Dive Into the Prison of the Lunatic Sage
Chapters and Quest offers an immersive escape room in Stockton-on-Tees, challenging groups with thrilling puzzles and captivating quests that promise an unforgettable adventure. Welcome to The Prison of the Lunatic Sage — a story-driven escape room where puzzles, secrets, and a touch of madness await.
A brilliant but unhinged wizard has created a machine that will end the world in a cataclysmic storm. You and your team must step inside, unravel his cryptic riddles, uncover hidden mechanisms, and escape before time runs out. Will you master the Sage’s twisted trials — or be trapped in his prison forever?
Perfect for friends, families, team-building, and adventurers of all kinds, this is an experience that blends storytelling, problem-solving, and pure fun.
60 minutes. One room. Your wits against the Sage.
What Is an Escape Room?
An escape room is a live, immersive puzzle experience. You and your team are “locked” in a themed room and must work together to solve clues, crack codes, uncover hidden objects, and complete challenges — all before the clock hits zero.
You don’t need to be a puzzle master or a gamer to enjoy it. Just bring:
- Curiosity
- Teamwork
- A keen eye for detail
Every puzzle solved brings you closer to freedom… and deeper into the story.
Claustrophobic? No worries!
All of our rooms are similar in size to the average living room, are well lit, and you can exit the room at any time.
Situated under the cozy Chapters and Chai…
Why not pair your adventure with a well-earned break at Chapters and Chai, the cosy café nestled right above the Prison of the Lunatic Sage?
Whether you’re fuelling up before you enter the Sage’s twisted domain or celebrating your escape afterwards, Chapters and Chai is the perfect place to unwind. Enjoy artisan coffee, comforting teas, and delicious treats in a relaxed, bookish atmosphere — the ideal companion to your quest below.
Escape Room players receive 20% off all café purchases on the day of their visit.
Just show your booking confirmation and treat yourself — you’ve earned it.
Crack the codes. Sip the chai. Make a day of it.
