Tue, 03rd Mar 2020 16:29

(Alliance News) - Escape Hunt PLC on Tuesday said it has teamed up with BBC Studios to create a new Doctor Who-themed escape room experience.

The escape rooms operator said the game titled "Doctor Who: A Dalek Awakens" will be available at the Escape Hunt Birmingham Resorts World as well as the Reading, Norwich and Basingstoke sites. The company added that several other venues will open in future.

The London-based company said the new experience will build on the initial Doctor Who game which opened in December 2018.

"We are delighted to be creating a second game which adds to our growing portfolio of proprietary games and builds on growing interest from our initial game with BBC Studios, Doctor Who - The Live Escape Game," said Escape Hunt Chief Executive Richard Harpham.

Shares in Escape Hunt were trading 4.6% higher in late afternoon trading in London on Tuesday at 12.29 pence each.
