Hello! Richard here, I’m one of the Nomad Escape Founders, and I just wanted to start this blog off by welcoming everyone to our absolutely mad journey in the world of Nomad Escape!
Here, we will upload the occasional article about our Escape Room in Glasgow and some fun news from the industry. And ghosts. There are so many ghosts in the basement of Merchant Square.
Since we are a brand new Escape Room business, we thought it was important to explain our name, because Nomad, by definition, means “no fixed place,” which doesn’t make sense, but hear us out!
We started life as a mobile escape room company. We had an actual decommissioned NHS ambulance that we were converting into a single-room horror experience called “Blood Drive”, which we aimed to launch sometime in 2025. It all makes sense now, right?
While we supported the dream, we both worked in escape rooms (because converting an ambulance ain’t cheap!) and had done so for years. Between us, we had worked every job, every role, and dealt with every kind of situation you could think of (and plenty you couldn’t).
We built three escape rooms, designed play-at-home games, collaborated on amazing projects, and oversaw thousands of games.
But all that time, we dreamt of running our own escape room.
Then one day, we were offered the chance to take over a (really haunted) unit in the heart of Glasgow.
Was it crazy? Yes.
Did it stop us? Nope.
It has meant putting everything else to one side and focusing single-mindedly on this venture. We are taking everything we have learned in our collective 15 years in the industry and mixing it with our passion, our creativity, our love of escape rooms, and putting it all in a basement beneath Merchant Square.
It’s hard, it’s stressful, and it has come at us so fast we barely have time to breathe.
But it’s the dream. So we’ll work at it day and night to make it happen. And at the end, we hope to build something that makes lasting memories for people—like escape rooms do for us.
