Green light for escape room

ORMSKIRK’S first escape room attraction has been granted planning permission to open in the town centre.

The venue will open in the former Albany Property Services offices on Church Street and will be called – ironically – Lockdown.

According to the application, Lockdown will be on two floors and be available by appointment only.

Escape rooms have become increasingly popular around the UK and involve players solving a series of puzzles and challenge in order to break free from rooms or solve a bigger mystery.
