Escape Time St Ives is an award-winning escape room venue in the heart of St Ives, Cornwall. We run live, fully immersive 60-minute games for groups of 2 to 8 players, with two rooms to choose from and adjustable intensity. We are open seven days a week from 10am to 10pm, with prices from £20 per person.
You are not solving puzzles. You are living them.

Captain Kernow's ship is sinking. You have one hour to find his lost treasure before she goes down.

You've been abducted by the St Ives Slayer. Follow his trail of clues and escape his lair before your sixty minutes are up.

Someone is dead. The tape is still rolling. A fun murder mystery in a 1970s recording studio.

A festive twist on Pirate Kernow. Christmas puzzles and seasonal surprises around every corner.
All rooms are fully immersive. Every puzzle pulls you deeper. The only variable is how intense you want it to be.
"We had a great time at the escape room, we had a range of ages and it was suitable for everyone (we played the pirate room). Toby was the member of staff there at the time and he was extremely helpful and friendly. Great for a rainy day activity in St Ives and we would definitely go back to play the other room."
"We played the Slayer room and it was very good. We do a lot of escape rooms, but this was one of the best ones I have done, with a lot of different clues we haven't seen before. A really good level of challenge and some really unique touches. Our host, Sam, was great at giving instructions and very friendly. Definitely recommend!"
"A choice of two experiences. We chose Find the Lost Treasure of Captain Kernow. A fun packed hour of clues with the odd hint from Thomas who hosted us. Thomas was a great host and even offered to take photos at the end. Would highly recommend as a family activity or especially a team building experience."
"We visited for our daughter's birthday and had an amazing time! Josh, our host, was fantastic. We would definitely recommend this escape room to friends and family. Also great value for money and time flies during the experience."
"We came as a family of 4 and did the pirate themed room. The puzzles were really original and fun to complete. We did need a few clues but we managed to uncover the treasure in the end! A fantastic hour spent and Toby was an excellent host."
"Great fun and a nice variety of puzzles, some of which we haven't come across before so that was exciting. Love that we were able to take our dog in too!"
