Here at The Panic Room Gravesend, we want to be able to allow everyone to escape. However, due to the format of escape rooms & the buildings we are in, this isn’t always the case. We are always looking to improve our offering and make changes that will mean there is more to offer for everyone. If you have any questions about whether a room is suitable for you, just contact us!
