The Grid is an immersive, multi-room alcoholic escape experience where patrons get to go undercover an Artificial Intelligence firm in an attempt to learn and defeat the “system”

The tech-driven escape experience challenges guests to puzzles across a series of rooms, with the bar as a backdrop.

Participants are invited to join The Grid, a secret society of individuals working to safeguard humanity’s future against machines.

On the day of the experience, they arrive undercover at the AI corp’s (neosight.org) HQ, where they must move between different rooms, interacting with the Artificial Intelligence and Neosight specialist technology as they try to stop the corp from crunching human data for the “greater good”. The 1.5 hour experience is full of surprises, bespoke tech and futurists tonics (sci-fi cocktails).

“I believe the future of hospitality is all about having fun. Fun now lies in experiences and not only food and drink. This is our first multi-room experience and I am very excited for it,” said Sebastian Lyall, Founder of Lollipop, the immersive experience group behind The Grid.

Lollipop is an immersive lifestyle group known for its experiential creations both here and abroad, including ABQ (abqlondon.com), The Bletchley (thebletchley.co.uk) and The Bunyadi (thebunyadi.com). The mission of the group is to design experiences that cater to the more demanding consumer of today. The group has also recently launched a drink at home wine experience, Vinny (wearevinny.com)

The Grid is set to open its door to public in July/Aug. The waiting list is now open and reservations will be released on a first come first served basis.

Tickets will be priced between £30-£40 per head for a 1h 30m experience and 2 cocktails.
