‘Put stop to ring of steel scheme’

Government urged to halt council’s anti-terror plan

-

An “insane” new visitor attraction has opened in Bath this month and it’s sure to be a hit with all the family.

The creators of Mary Shelley’s House of Frankenste­in have built a creepy attic escape room that brings the novel to life.

Since it threw open its doors on July 19, the terrifying house on Gay Street has pulled in unsuspecti­ng visitors – or should we say victims?

From this week, people can explore Victor Frankenste­in’s Lair – an attic “strewn with insane equations, strange artefacts and miscellane­ous body parts”.

The clock is ticking with just one hour for you to unlock the mysteries of an unhinged mind and, more critically, your way out.

The Lair is a puzzle-based game perfect for groups or families with older children. Tickets are on sale now and you can find prices at https:// houseoffra­nkenstein.com/tickets

He needs a minimum of three participan­ts in each group to carry out his vile experiment­s but can take up to six.

As an introducto­ry offer to celebrate its launch, Escape Room tickets include free entry to Mary Shelley’s House of Frankenste­in.

It is the city’s best-kept secret that Shelley’s literary masterpiec­e took form here in June 1816.

Now, 205 years on, the house will pay homage to her vision – greeting fans with dismembere­d limbs, terrifying science experiment­s and an 8ft animatroni­c monster.

A whopping four floors of artefacts and interactiv­e rooms await those brave enough to venture inside the attraction.
