About Nerd Herd
We're a group of friends from the Greater Manchester area with a shared love for escape rooms and all things nerdy.
Our Story
What started as a casual “let's try an escape room” between friends quickly turned into a full-blown obsession. After our first successful escape (with just 2 minutes on the clock!), we were hooked.
We set ourselves a challenge: work through as many escape rooms as we can across Greater Manchester and beyond. This website is our way of tracking which rooms we've conquered, which ones are on our list, and sharing our favourites with anyone else who fancies a puzzle.
Beyond escape rooms, we're into pub quizzes, retro gaming nights, and anything that involves teamwork and problem-solving. If it's nerdy, we're probably into it.
What We Do
Escape Rooms
Our primary obsession. We've catalogued 82 rooms across 12 venues and we're working through them all.
Social Events
Pub quizzes, film nights, retro gaming sessions, and any excuse to get together and be nerdy.
Our Coverage Area
We cover escape rooms across Greater Manchester & surrounding areas:
The Room Database
We maintain a database of 82 escape rooms across the region. Each entry includes difficulty ratings, player counts, pricing info, themes, and direct booking links.
Use the “Done” toggle on each room card to track your personal progress - it saves to your browser so you can pick up where you left off.
The data is researched from venue websites and updated periodically. If you spot anything out of date, let us know!
