Escape Kent
Escape Kent is now part of Rivals Social on Simmonds Road, with 13 escape rooms across its Canterbury and Faversham sites. That is enough variety to keep your group coming back all year. It is also a wider social venue with food, drink and other activities, so a quick game can turn into a full night out.
Ranked by Google rating, weighted by the number of reviews so a place with a handful of five-star reviews does not jump the queue. We check the list every month and drop anywhere that has closed.
