BOURNEMOUTH’S new escape room has closed because of flooding, after opening just five days ago.
Escape Hunt, located in BH2 leisure complex, has been forced to shut after a flood has left the floor with puddles of water.
The escape room only opened its doors on Thursday, October 20 – the same day as Dorset’s first ever axe-throwing bar Boom Battle Bar.
A spokeswoman for Escape Hunt said: “The team are working hard with the other local businesses to identify the source of the issue and are hoping to have our doors open again as soon as possible.”

It is unclear what has caused the flood or when the room will be reopened.
The rooms have four differently themed challenges; from falling down the rabbit hole in Alice in Puzzleland, capturing the lamp in Aladdin & The Magic Vault, returning a stolen amulet in Curse of the Pharaoh, or steping aboard a pirate ship in Blackbeard’s Treasure.
This isn’t the first time venues have had to close in BH2 this month. Two weekends ago, on Sunday, October 16, BH2 was forced to shut all venues after a fire broke out at Nando’s and caused flooding and water damage within other venues, including the Odeon Cinema and TGI Fridays.
