FAQ

An escape room is a themed, interactive adventure game in which participants must solve puzzles and complete challenges within a set time limit.

Before going to an escape room for the first time, here are some things you should know:

  1. Time Limit: Our escape rooms have a time limit, either 45 or 60 minutes, to complete the challenges and escape. Be aware of the time constraint and plan your actions accordingly to make the most of your experience.
  2. Communication and Cooperation: Effective communication and teamwork are crucial in escape rooms. Coordinate with your teammates, share information, and work together to solve puzzles. Listen to everyone's ideas and contribute to the overall progress.
  3. Attention to Detail: Pay attention to your surroundings and examine every object or clue carefully. Escape rooms often contain hidden hints, codes, or keys that can be essential for progressing through the game.
  4. Rules and Guidelines: Familiarize yourself with the specific rules and guidelines of the escape room you're visiting. These may include restrictions on certain actions, the use of hints, or guidelines for safety and etiquette.
  5. Have Fun: The primary goal of an escape room is to have fun and enjoy the experience. Don't be afraid to immerse yourself in the theme and embrace the challenges. Remember, it's about teamwork, problem-solving, and creating memorable moments.

Any questions you may have you can ask your game master who will walk you through everything you need to know.

None of our rooms are locked. The goal of the game is to solve the puzzles and experience the story of each game.
