Sustainable 'escape room' hopes to attract crowds at Amerton Farm
A unique outdoor escape room experience has pitted people against nature as they aim to solve clues within 60 minutes.
The Be.Wild.Er outdoor puzzle experience, run at Amerton Farm in Stafford, launched in July last year and has been put together by using recycled objects.
Now Lisa Stephenson, who founded the experience, is hoping to attract more visitors after a string of positive reviews on TripAdvisor.
Lisa Stephenson, who founded the experience, said: "We've not had loads and loads of visitors yet so it's very much in its infancy – but we're hoping to launch more events in the summer for people.
"But we've had a lot of review from people who have tried it who say it's unique.
"What we're trying to do is making it all through recycling.
"The bird box and other objects were recycled and we use pallets for the pillars we've got."
"Ours is a very much 'sustainable', water-proof and weather proof."
People have to find and solve clues and follow the story of a renowned botanist who has discovered a plant which can "save the world".
They have 60 minutes before the villains from numerous agencies bidding to get rid of them.
Lisa Stephenson said: "There's a number of things you can do outside – such as using water – that you can't do inside.
"We use Ogham – an ancient language of the trees – from a long time ago and people have to translate it to get clues.
"We also use the Latin names for trees which people have to match up with them.
"There's only one other outdoor room in Yorkshire so it's very unique."
Teams of between two and six players can take on the outdoor activity.
