Portaloo Escape Room

[Justiceforcedave]

Hullo Efesters!

I'm going to be operating an escape room game in The Circus and Theatre field this year (Bella's field). The twist? It's inside a Portaloo.... it's called Portaclue: The T.U.R.D.I.S. (Toilet utilities requiring dexterity, intelligence & skill) and it would be wonderful to see some of you there! Thursday-Sunday 11am-7pm.

Note: It DOES NOT function as an actual toilet. It DOES have a disco ball 😆

Do you have a contingency plan for if someone does use it as a toilet? 

Looks awesome BTW - is it a ticketed thing?

[DareToDibble]

Is this a turn up and queue situation or are you doing any kind of bookings? Or turn up and get given a time to come back?

How many people can fit inside a portaloo ? 

[Pinhead]

Absolutely brilliant - will look out for this!

Looking forward to this. 

[Chicklepop]

I would have to give this a go, great idea 😀

We’ll take bookings in the morning for each day and recommend turning up when we open (11) but we’ll take walk ins for no shows and select slots. If you come and see us we’ll find a way you can play! 🙂

Games are under our watchful eye and the No 1 rule is “No number 2s” so no one will be using it as a legit toilet!

2 or 3 who are happy for more intimate escaping. It’s an accessible loo so lots of space!

agh we are still on shift at 11 but if we're let off early one day we will try and swing by and book!

This is a great idea and would be good fun, will deffo pay a visit. Imagining the carnage in there if we get another 2016!

I've just seen it's only about 15 minutes too, which is great. Not sure I would want to spend an hour in there if it's 2019 weather 😄

Loving the disco ball & lighting, brilliant 😄

We'll be coming to have a go!

Looking at those pics I’m guessing you’re going to have to go fishing in the toilet bowl for clues. Could get interesting late in the day.

I dont really see the point of this, Portaloos are generally to be avoided, unless you need a little bit of time to calm down from your acid trip. Celebrating them is odd, and kind of screams "look how quirky i can be!". If it rains, it will get messed up with mud as well.

If someone can't solve the escape puzzle do you just leave them in there to rot indefinitely?

Couldn't think of a worse place to calm down from an acid trip than a portaloo.

The floor opens up to a pit underneath where all the others are that have failed, slowly crushing the people at the bottom.

ah i dunno, its the only place you get where you can lock the door and you are on your own for a few minutes, its allows you to take stock. Plus maybe have a shite and a bump of gak just to steady yourself a little.

It's an escape room, you find clues inside to help get you out, they're pretty popular at the moment. The portaloo theme doesn't scream 'quirky' to me, it seems like the most obvious choice for a small escape room at a festival.

The floor opens up to a long drop pit.

If somewhere you go to shit your rancid guts out after a heavy night is the 'most obvious choice' for an 'escape room', then you certainly are a super quirky guy 😆. Are you also one of these bonkers types that wears glittery wellies even if it isn't raining?
