General Questions

What is an escape room?

An escape room is a game in which a team of players discover clues, solve puzzles, and accomplish tasks in one or more rooms in order to accomplish a specific goal in a limited amount of time. Each team is assigned a game master who will give you a few hints along the way if you get stuck.

What happens if we don’t escape?

Once your game time has ended, your game master will return to the room and escort you out. If you would like to know how the rest of the game goes, ask your game master!

Are we actually locked in the room? 

No, there is an assigned emergency exit door that is unlocked during the entirety of your game play for your safety. 

Will my group be combined with others? 

All bookings are private, therefore you’ll only be playing with the group you bring in

What is the party room? When does the 30 min time slot begin?

How many guests can the party room fit? 

We can fit around 30 guests into each party room.

How soon can we arrive?

What happens if guests are late?

If the whole party isn’t here at the beginning of your session, the players present will begin at the scheduled time. The remaining guests may join the game once they arrive, for the remainder of the session. 

If I add on the escape room, what's the max amount of guests allowed? 

The max for the escape room is 14 players, if you have a larger group you will need to book two separate slots.
