Solitary.60 Escape Rooms

Hi all,
Wondered if any of you have seen a new escape room in Birmingham - solitary 60 - plenty of videos on youtube etc.
I'm thinking of booking a 2 hour slot in the cell, handcuffed. Might just have a cheeky pint beforehand!
I'm wondering if any of the lads who've done the two hours might just have ended up busting for a piss?

Hi, I’ve never heard of that escape room since I don’t live in the UK but I’ve looked it up.
From what I’ve read you spend two hours in the cell either way if you can’t solve the puzzles within the first hour.
This leads me to wonder: Were there lads who needed to pee within the first hour and were shocked/surprised/anxious to hear that they’d have to stay in there for another hour? I guess it’s very likely that someone in there might urgently need to pee.

Hi Simon, that's what I've been wondering. I also wonder if any have had a drink before, build some courage up?

Yes, I think it's possible. So, your idea is to drink a pint beforehand and if my research serves that is roughly around 600 ml. Hmm, I guess drinking that knowing you'll have to last one hour is one thing but keeping in mind that you might have to hold it for two hours... Sounds like gambling with bladder capacity to me but an interesting idea at the same time.

i reckon a pint of lager should be manageable - but very uncomfortable?

I think a pint would definitely be manageable if not a little uncomfortable. Could definitely be interesting to work at though- maybe there would be days I wouldn't be quick enough to let somebody desperate out...

Uncomfortable for sure. The question is: Do they let people out to use the toilet during the two hours? Are they somewhere near the cell? Would be awkward to have to yell that you need a piss in order to get heard

Sebby, if that's the case, it's a pity you're not running it!!

That must be an issue that they deal with frequently. They may have a jug stowed away somewhere in the room for emergencies.
