The Lift Escape Rooms

About

Looking for the most original escape rooms in Brighton? Just a 5-minute walk from Brighton train station, The Lift hides its adventures in places you’d never expect – a reclaimed shipping container and a secret basement. Every game is built around its unusual setting, so no two experiences feel the same.

All of our escape rooms and puzzles are designed and hand-built in-house by our small, passionate team, using reclaimed and recycled materials wherever we can. The result is an immersive, sustainable escape game experience you won’t find anywhere else in Brighton & Hove.

Whether you’re first-time players, seasoned escapers, friends, family or a work team looking for something different, our 60-minute challenges are made for every level. Find out why The Lift is one of the top-rated things to do in Brighton – which adventure will you choose?

THE LIFT SHAFT
Hard hat on. Torch in hand. Step into The Lift Shaft. Hanging above your heads is a faulty lift – and as our trained engineers, it’s down to you to fix it before it comes crashing down!

COMIC CHAOS
The nefarious Dr. Riddlesworth is draining the world of its colour, leaving everything in lifeless monochrome. You and your team of mighty heroes are the world’s last hope. Work together to foil his plan before time runs out – or he’ll lock you in his lair… FOREVER.

SECONDS FROM DISASTER
Part tabletop escape game, part flight simulator – and unlike anything else in Brighton. Crack the puzzles, piece together the clues, then take the controls for the ultimate test: landing the plane. Keep your nerve, follow your instructions, and bring everyone home safely… with only seconds to spare.

OUTDOOR GAME: PUZZLE PANIC
Take the adventure out into the open air! Puzzle Panic turns the streets of Brighton into your game board. Grab your team, follow the clues and race against the clock to crack puzzles hidden in plain sight. A brilliant way to explore the city and a fresh twist on the classic escape room.

MOBILE EXPERIENCES: WE COME TO YOU
Can’t come to us? We’ll bring the adventure to you! Our mobile escape experiences travel to your venue, office, party or event, packed with the same hand-crafted puzzles and immersive storytelling as our Brighton rooms. Perfect for team building, birthdays, hen and stag dos, festivals and private parties.
