PLAY-AT-HOME HIRE

The Whitby Witch is a deluxe portable mystery experience. It is a prequel to our escape game The Night Watchman but is also a great standalone game

The game is designed for 1 - 4 players and can take anywhere from 60 - 90 minutes to play depending on experience

The Whitby Witch is perfect for playing in the comfort of your own home. When delivered it will arrive as 3 boxes. One large trunk, one medium box and one smaller plastic box containing important game info/clues etc.

6 hour game hire period – hire cost is £50

This game is designed for 1-4 players and is suitable for families (minimum recommended age 12+ when playing with one or more adults; not suitable for younger children or children’s parties due to complexity).

It can take anywhere between 60 to 90 minutes to play, depending on experience, so please make sure you have set aside enough time that you aren’t rushing through. With no time ticking down we recommend taking your time, walking away for a few minutes if you get stuck. Go grab another cuppa (or glass of wine), only reach for the clues if you really need to

We recommend playing The Whitby Witch in a well-lit room where you have plenty of space. Ideally a spacious table would be a great place. You will be able to leave the large trunk on the floor and empty it’s contents out. As it includes many unique props, The Whitby Witch should only be played in a smoke-free environment
