7. Escape the Expected - Outdoor Escape Room

OK I know we said 6, but we couldn't go until we'd mentioned this one. Escape the Expected is an escape-room style game with a real difference- it's outdoors and is a great way to walk around the best parts of Port Mac while you solve the clues! Great with or without kids (there's a more grown-up 'Solve & Sip' game as well).
