Founding father of Kensa and all round design obsessive, Scott has an opinion on pretty much everything.

XscapeNow! is a local family run business founded by escape room enthusiasts Gordon and Michelle, who after catching the escape room bug back in 2017 were inspired to create their very own escape room experience here in Telford. Within months of opening, their business was rated the Number 1 Fun Activity in Telford and Shropshire by TripAdvisor!

More recently, XscapeNow! wanted to re-establish themselves as Telford’s first and best escape rooms, so they approached Kensa to help bring their experience to life through a brand new website. We’re a big fan of escape rooms at Kensa, so it goes without saying we jumped on the opportunity to work on this exciting project!

Being a competitive bunch, we opted to split into two (carefully selected!) teams to compete for victory in XscapeNow!’s “The Bank Job” escape room. Each team was headed by one of our joint Directors Scott and Rich – so the stakes were very high indeed!

The Bank Job involves a race against the clock to rob the same bank from a neighbouring shop. Whichever team solves the puzzles first gets to enter the cental vault and claim the (fake) cash prize – as well as bragging rights for the rest of the year.
