Anna
Gamesmaster & Manager
I love singing, playing guitar, and napping! You can probably find me scrolling through TikTok or with my head stuck in a book :)
Josh
Caitlin
Gamesmaster
Gamesmaster & Fire Safety
Hey, I’m Josh! I love spending my time running games of D&D, hunched over heaps of art projects or making short-films! Aside from rallying my friends to play boardgames, I am always pondering the weird, the surreal or the esoteric!
Hey, when I’m not at The Escape Key running games, cleaning and handling the social media, you’ll find me table top gaming, caring for my plants, spending time with my family or consuming a bunch of media. Fascinated by people and puzzles!
Martin
Owner and Builder
Compulsive builder of things. I love punk rock, sport and cooking - especially barbecuing for friends and family. Love being in my garden and chillin' with my hoes😎
Bertie
Aly
Gamesmaster & Manager
Gamesmaster
Loves running DnD for his friends, reading fantasy novels, drawing, picking mushrooms, and gigging with his band
Hawaii Girl living in sunny South Shields. I love the beach, playing guitar, visiting abandoned places and going on adventures with my dog. Any free time from work or uni and I’m off exploring the world.
Von
Gamesmaster
I'm Siobhan! I'm powered by caffeine, sugar and my passion for fantasy. When I'm not creating magic in our rooms, you'll probably find me cozying up with my pets, making an arty mess, or on a pixelated adventure!
Jake
Kristian
General Manager
Gamesmaster & cleaner
I’m one of the managers here at The Escape Key! When I’m not working, you can find me playing guitar/ listening to heavy music or playing online/ table top games with friends!
Hey, I'm Kristian. When I'm not struggling to take a decent selfie, you'll usually find me lost in creative pursuits. I have a passion for filmmaking. Whether I'm behind the lens, behind my typewriter or lost in imaginative thoughts, I love exploring different ways to express my creativity.
Design Engineer
Gamesmaster & HR
Been here since day 1. I keep the games working and the puzzles coming. Love bike rides, dogs, karaoke and making a mess while building things.
I make sure everyone gets paid on time and when I'm not at work I love crafting and walking my dog.
Gamesmaster
I'm a Polish girlie in love with watching fantasy and thrillers. I've recently discovered my new addiction to video games, I've got a soft spot for classic cartoons and love jamming to rock music!
