About our Escape Room in Exeter
About Us - Before we started
Let’s tell you about us! Prodigy Escapes is an independent escape room in Exeter, Devon. It is owned and operated by husband and wife team, Dan & Lisa.
Before running an escape room you may have seen them as they put together ‘Exeter’s Haunted House’. This charity Halloween event raised thousands of pounds for local charities and created some amazing memories for those who visited and participated.


Prodigy Escapes was created as a result of a shared love of entertainment. Enthused by the fantastic attractions that already exist in the local area we want to contribute to the escape room community.
Our goal is to overcome barriers and promote the escape room concept to those that may have never considered them before. We want to remove any concerns that people will be trapped or left feeling inadequate if they fail to complete a room. Our objective is to have your group complete our experiences whilst developing key teamwork skills and most importantly having fun!

About us - Where we're going
One of the most important things to know about us is our objectives. It is our dream to create and inspire a new generation of storytelling at our escape room in Exeter. We want to open our doors to allow the creative and curious alike to discover our methods and madness. So if someone wants to learn how a prop works then we’ll do our best to share our insight with you. If you want to know how we created an effect then we can talk you through it.
Our main passion when developing our Halloween event was the potential to inspire others. Because when people are inspired there’s no limit to what can be achieved. Prodigy Escapes is a celebration of imagination and a longing for a less ordinary existence. Something that we want to share with you!

Watch how we built our escape room!
