Immersive gaming experience to launch latest concept at city centre venue
The business behind a “live escape game/hyper reality experience” has agreed to lease 9,500 sq ft on the lower basement of the Bank Vaults, Park Row, Leeds.
Tick Tock Unlock has revealed plans to launch The Library of Broken Books – a new theatrical gaming experience located within a historic setting in the city centre, creating up to 30 jobs.
The experience is due to launch in May 2022 and combines elements of escape games, immersive theatre and gameshows, with “librarians” guiding groups around themed zones including Horror, Magic, Adventure and Fantasy with immersive art experiences and surprises along the way.
Tick Tock Unlock directors, Samrien Hussain and Ali Khan, have secured the venue and will collaborate with local colleges, artists, engineers and makers for the project.
Hussain said: “Unlike a traditional escape game, where being in a room choosing a single game to play can become boring, visiting multiple stories, with a variety of tasks ranging from physical and skill-based to logical and multi-person puzzles offers something for everyone.
“We’re really excited for this next phase for Tick Tock Unlock and hope others will be too. Advance early bird tickets from June onwards are available from the website, as well as the chance to be part of our next chapter.”
Khan added: “We are constantly looking to evolve and improve our offering and this new concept reflects our ethos of pushing boundaries and sparking people’s interest and imaginations.”
Tick Tock Unlock previously operated six escape game venues and GPS treasure hunts across four cities, including in Leeds where the company is headquartered.
