Think mini-challenges and puzzles combined with ten rounds of classic crazy golf, trust us - it's a real hoot.
If you're looking for the perfect team building exercise then look no further than Tenpin's escape rooms designed by the award-winning Houdini's. Take your pick from four themed rooms where you'll have to solve interactive puzzles, clues and codes in order to make it out as a team.
From the incredibly spooky 'Creepy Carnival' to 'Alcatraz' and 'R.M.S Titanic', these games aren't for the faint hearted... but they're definitely a whole lot of fun.
Once you've escaped (hopefully), you can make your way to one of three karaoke rooms and sing your hearts out to all the songs you can think of.
From current chart-topping hits to old-school classics, they've got everything you need to release your inner Mariah Carey.
And of course after all that gaming you'll have worked up an appetite, and luckily for you Tenpin are serving up a range of delicious dishes from pizzas to nachos, so you can fuel up mid or post-game.
Alongside two fully licensed bars serving up a huge menu of drinks including both cocktails and mocktails, this is a great place to start your night out on the town.

New Openings
Three-acre padel court development set to move into historic Leeds landmark
Leeds-based Ollo Padel have revealed plans for a new three-acre padel and leisure destination at The Roundhouse.
It seems like padel is taking over the world at the moment, and it's about to take over Leeds.
Three years after the plans were first put forward, Ollo Padel is set to bring a state-of-the-art padel and leisure centre to the outskirts of the city centre.
The Roundhouse is a Grade II listed Victorian landmark that first opened in 1847 and will be brought back to everyday use as a community-led space before the end of 2026.

The new space will feature five covered and four open courts, alongside hospitality and social spaces, retail space, fitness studios, gyms and more.
Being a Leeds-based company, Ollo Padel are working to put Leeds’ communities at the heart of the new centre, with plans for free school coaching lessons, school partnerships, inclusive programmes for women and juniors and focusing on providing a non-intimidating environment for all-ages and abilities.
The development is expected to create 14 permanent on-site roles, spanning coaching, front-of-house, hospitality and operations, with a strong commitment to local recruitment.

Will Linley, Co-Founder (Founder of Linley & Simpson) said: “These proposals focus on sensitively bringing one of Leeds’ most iconic buildings back to life — restoring the Roundhouse and creating a place people can enjoy, feel proud of and use as part of everyday city life.
“Padel is a brilliant way to bring people together. We’re designing Ollo around the social side of the sport — creating a place that supports both physical and mental wellbeing through movement, play and connection”
Luke Gidney, Founder, Ollo Padel said: “We are so excited about the opportunity to create this centre for Leeds. We’re still at an early stage, and that really matters to us, because it means local residents, businesses and community groups can help shape the plans. We want to listen, learn and make sure the Roundhouse works day to day for the people around it.”
