A NEW escape room is coming to Braintree this year - the fifth to be opened by a family-run business.

The Hensey family-owned and operated Cluetopia already has four escape rooms in Harwich, Clacton, Walton and Ipswich. 

Glen Hensey said: “We’re about four months from opening - we’re aiming for October roughly, if all goes well.

“It’s quite a big space, so we’re going to aim for five different themed games.

“We’re really happy to be going there. It’s a town which has been overlooked by escape room companies, as far as I know.

"Our company has been number one on TripAdvisor at times.

“We’re going to bring some great games there. We will bring new games - we don’t just copy over our existing games at our other sites.”

The escape rooms are designed for all ages, making it a family day out.
