The Library of Broken Books is a collection of multi-genre, multi-world, action-packed adventure, inspired by previous escape rooms by Tick Tock Unlock, which can be experienced by you and your friends, family or colleagues. While carrying some inspiration from traditional escape games, the Library is truly unique.
You will not be confined to one room or theme for an hour, and you no longer have to worry about picking the right theme in a one-theme old-style escape room. Instead, your hour-long experience will be spent entering multiple different, exciting books, and taking part in competitive puzzles and challenges.
The goal is not to escape, but to collect as many magical keys as possible, in order to fix the book and earn a place on the leaderboard. Think of it as a big and best mix of Immersive Theatre, Escape Games, and Adventure Game shows! From the moment you enter the Library, you’ll be transported to an incredibly immersive world as you experience the Fantasy and Adventure genres. You’ll be finding clues, solving puzzles and collecting magical keys. Enjoy an unmatched variety of challenges and stories in one visit! Click here to book.

Hit the maze at the manor
Just half an hour’s drive from Leeds is the stately Stockeld Park and its Georgian mansion built by renowned architect James Payne. It was sold to Robert John Foster in 1875 and remains a family house. However, the Grant family, who now occupy the estate, are a creative bunch and have turned the house and grounds into an incredible adventure park and visitor centre. The entrepreneurial residents have turned over much of their land to growing Christmas trees, building a go kart track, ice rink and incredible natural fir tree maze. At Christmas time, it’s a magical place to visit, but at any time of year it is a fabulous place to spend time with the family – book in advance if you’d also like a tour of the house.
Take a bird’s eye view of the city
If you need an excuse to take to the streets and discover the city, why not make it ornithology? The Leeds Owl Trail is a hunt that takes you across 25 locations, spotting owls in statues, carvings and other prominent places. In case you didn’t know, the owl features on the Leeds coat of arms of 1626 and is thus a popular icon in local art and architecture. You can download a free map at www.leedsowltrail.com or buy one for 50p at the Leeds Visitors Centre. You’ll take in much of the city as you go, and it’s an energetic and unusual thing to do in Leeds.
Delve into Britain’s war history at the Royal Armouries
A fascinating, if sobering, experience is a visit to the Leeds Royal Armouries – the home of the nation’s arms history. It’s a huge museum with nearly 70,000 exhibits related to man’s experience of war. Situated in the docks area of the city, it’s free to visit and features medieval armour, tremendous cannons and insightful exhibitions and talks explaining traditional and modern strategies of warfare. Allow a full afternoon.
