Midnight Madness

Past Events

Since 2018 there have been six iterations, each with its own surreal storyline and custom-made puzzles.

Midnight Madness 2025

13 September 2025

For Midnight Madness 2025, London became a movie set — and the players were the stars.

Midnight Madness turned the city into cinematic worlds, with puzzles, chaos, and characters dragging teams straight into the story. Behind the scenes, a trailer of the adventure was spun together in real time — giving players a first look at their own epic journey on the big screen at Leicester Square Odeon for the grand finale.

And the madness didn’t stop there… every team even got their own personalized trailer, capturing the chaos, triumphs, and unforgettable moments of their night.

Midnight Madness 2024

18 May 2024

Midnight Madness 2024 saw our teams accused of illegal dimension-hopping, standing trial before the strict Lord Chief Justice Bartyfart Crinklepoop. Found guilty, they got a chance to appeal by taking a baffling test, assessing their skills in managing time and space.

Midnight Madness 2023

20 May 2023

Midnight Madness never stands still. Following player input, we updated & improved game design for the 2023 edition. 

Starting at the Magic Circle, home of magicians, players were taken back to school, played with a dream machine at Eden Assanti and had an early morning encounter with Bruce Willis at Madam Tussauds.

Midnight Madness 2022

14 May 2022

Following a two year hiatus, our loyal regular MM players were chomping at the bit!

Racing across East London, teams slid down the ArcelorMittal Orbit, played war games with laser guns around a disused factory in the early hours and had to overcome a troupe of diabolical clowns at the O2.

Midnight Madness 2019

11 May 2019

The second incarnation of Midnight Madness in 2019 raised the bar.

Players on a mission to tackle an alien lifeforce (played by a contortionist trapped inside a derelict chapel) had to navigate their way through a disused tube station at Charing Cross and talk their way past hooded monks in St Martins in the Field Crypt.

When hackers sent clues via the iconic advertising board at Piccadilly Circus, the teams had to joined cyber gang activity in Battersea Power Station, arriving by speedboat.
