Grave Mistake – Coffin Escape Room

18th Jul 2025 | Event Announcements, Experiences and Attractions

Premiering at Horror Con Scotland: Halloween Edition

Vampire hunters usually don’t end up in coffins.
But this time, you’ve made a grave mistake.

Premiering at Horror Con Scotland: Halloween Edition on Friday 31st October (18+ only) and Saturday 1st November (all ages event), Grave Mistake is a brand-new solo escape room experience that throws you into darkness, panic, and a coffin you’ll never forget.

The Story

You were the predator – one of the best vampire hunters around.
Now? You’re the prey.

Captured by a fanatical vampire cult, you awaken sealed inside a coffin. Above you, the ritual begins. In just 10 minutes, they’ll offer your soul to their ancient master… unless you escape first.

Your mission is simple:
Get out. Or stay dead.

The Experience

Grave Mistake is a terrifying, immersive add-on experience premiering at our Halloween weekend event at Paisley Town Hall.

  • 10-minute timed escape

  • One person per coffin – solo experience

  • Requires a separate add-on ticket

  • 18+ only

  • Extremely limited slots – only one coffin, one victim at a time

This isn’t your typical escape room. There’s no team, no hints… and no room to stretch.

Health and Safety Information

This is not for the faint of heart – or the claustrophobic.

  • Confined space experience

  • Limited movement required

  • All participants must sign a waiver before entering

  • Staff are present and emergency systems are in place at all times

  • Not suitable for those with claustrophobia, heart conditions, mobility issues, or sensitivity to intense horror environments

  • You must also have a valid Horror Con Scotland event ticket for the day you’re booking

Book Your Slot Before the Coffin Closes

Grave Mistake is premiering for the first time at Horror Con Scotland: Halloween Edition.
Only a handful of souls will get the chance to try it – because with just one coffin, spots are seriously limited.

Add-on tickets are on sale now.

Escape is optional.
Sacrifice is scheduled.

Our Escape Room Roots

Before Northern Frights was running large-scale immersive events, we actually started with a small horror escape room of our own – built and run part-time out of a room in a video game café.
It was gritty, chaotic, and full of heart.
We kept it going until the venue sadly closed down due to COVID and rising energy costs.

But Grave Mistake is the experience we’ve been dreaming about for years – and now, thanks to Full Set Production, it’s finally coming to life.
