TalkTalk and Heart have teamed up to bring a spooky 'Fright and Delight' escape room to White Rose Shopping Centre from 10am until 6pm on Wednesday 27th October.
A trio of spooky pop-up escape rooms have landed in Leeds thanks to TalkTalk and Heart Radio Station.
For one-day-only, visitors will be channeling their inner Sherlock Holmes and using their detective skills to find hidden devices in White Rose Shopping Centre for the chance to win some incredible prizes from TalkTalk.

Dance to the tunes from the UK's largest commercial radio station and try to unravel the clues to escape, all whilst trialling Future Fibre.
Make sure you've had your morning coffee as the first exciting challenge is all about reacting to Batak-style lights in record timing. You'll then move on to the 'Concurrency' room where 75 golden coins are hidden somewhere within the escape room.
Even a metal detector won't get you out in time, but if you're smart enough to quickly find the treasure, you'll still have to face one more spooky surprise before escaping.
Lead your group around to the exit and watch out for rotten pumpkins, broken wheelbarrows and the scary pumpkin man on your journey as only the most reliable route will land your team back in time.
Oh and did we mention one member will be blindfolded and they can only be guided out verbally?

If you have no success escaping in time, there will still be plenty of opportunities to win big at this pop-up event. To celebrate the launch of TalkTalk's Future Fibre, there will be the chance to win a Samsung Galaxy Tab, Nintendo Switch, a Ring Video Doorbell and much more.
Lucky winners and visitors alike can also grab a photo for the 'gram at the pop-up selfie station and share on social using #PoweredByFutureFibre.
Future Fibre is almost 50 times faster and five times more reliable than standard broadband, so clearly TalkTalk's latest launch is worth celebrating.
The pop-up event will demonstrate the capacity and speed of Future Fibre, which can effortlessly handle all household devices’ streaming, gaming and video-calling at once.
No more buffering WiFi? We're in.
For more information on Future Fibre from TalkTalk visit their website or come down to the White Rose Shopping Centre tomorrow between 10am and 6pm to see what the fuss is about at their free-to-attend escape room event.
Britain's 20 biggest cities have been ranked, and Leeds has done pretty well.
Although, you wouldn't be able to tell judging by the overwhelmingly lacklustre description we've been given.
The listing comes from The Telegraph and ranks Britain's 20 biggest cities from worst to best, taking into account visitor appeal and where offers most to tourists.
Leeds comes in at a very respectable number 10, however judging from what they've said about our city you'd think we were much, much lower.
Kicking things off, the description reads: "There’s an untidy quality to Leeds, borne of a patchwork of periods in its built environment and the fact that a lot of regeneration is underway (cranes rise at every corner)."

Yep, not off to a good start but it's only down hill from there as Leeds is then said to have a 'certain shapelessness'.
But perhaps the worst part is yet to come: "There are some ugly, run-down streets very close to the centre, and while the Headrow and other high streets have a fair number of shops, there’s no real boulevard or grand square.
"The most atmospheric spaces are Queens Arcade and perpendicular Cross Arcade, and Thornton’s Arcade; Grand Arcade is also Victorian but looks and feels less uplifting."
By the end it starts to get slightly more positive, emphases on 'slightly': "Leeds’ strongest points might be its small size and its north-central location; it’s easy to walk everywhere inside the city, and a short ride away are Ilkley, Skipton and the Dales."
Our visitor appeal gained a 6.5/10, beating Cardiff, Sheffield, Brighton and Nottingham.
Taking the top spot was Liverpool followed by Edinburgh, Belfast and Glasgow. Read the full ranking here.
An award-winning Sardinian restaurant made famous in Sheffield is now opening in Leeds
Clementine Hall
This family-run restaurant has chosen Leeds as their second location, and we're very glad they have.
Introducing Domo, a Sardinian independent born in Sheffield that is loved by many for its delicious food, inviting atmosphere and stellar service.
Run by Raffaele Busceddu and Sarah May Elliott, Domo serves a range of traditional Sardinian specialities from homemade pasta dishes to show-stopping grills.
They've also got a banging cocktail menu full of signature serves and refreshing spritz, perfect for enjoying with friends over some delicious sharing plates.

They've been teasing a second site for some time now but finally the cat is firmly out of the bag as they've announced they'll be bringing Domo to Leeds.
But where might you ask? Well, none other than the scenic location of the Lockside overlooking the canal.
Slotting right in next to BAKE, they're going to be in very good company indeed.

Announcing the exciting news to Instagram, Domo said: "So most of you guessed it right...it’s been a long time coming but Domo 2.0 is finally cooking.
"Here’s a little sneak peek at our week which we’ve mostly spent admiring the views and getting to know the new neighbours …. If you can guess where it is there’s a glass of bubbly on us next time we see you. To be continued ………"
That's all the information we have so far, but we'll keep you in the loop as and when we find out more.
We can't wait to have you here in Leeds Domo, but for now we'll pop round to Sheffield to get our Domo fix and we highly suggest you do too.
