A former sauna in Kentish Town could be transformed into a Crystal Maze-style escape game venue.

Entertainment company Missing Evasion has submitted plans for the venue where teams would be set the challenge of breaking out of a locked room in 60 minutes.

The company has asked Camden Council for planning permission to convert the site in Kentish Town Road into an indoor, immersive game.

“Locked up inside a room, you and your team - three to six players - will have 60 minutes to try to escape from the room,” Missing Evasion said in a planning report.

“You’ll have to use your determination, insight, speed and teamwork to solve a series of puzzles.”

The company, which already runs a popular escape game venture in Lille, France, said the venue would welcome up to 35 people at a time, opening from 9am to 11pm.

Situated next to the old South Kentish Town tube station and Cash Converters, the venture would join the likes of other popular interactive games that have popped up across London, including HintHunt in Euston and ClueQuest in Islington.
