Crossword Genius

More space arranged around old game venue (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

escape room

'game venue' is the definition.
(room which people must play a game to escape from)

'more space arranged around old' is the wordplay.
'arranged' indicates an anagram (letters rearranged).
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'old' becomes 'o' (common abbreviation eg in OE for Old English).
'more'+'space'='morespace'
'morespace' with letters rearranged gives 'escaperom'.
'escaperom' placed around 'o' is 'ESCAPE ROOM'.
