Real-life room escape games are a type of physical adventure game in which people are locked in a room with other participants and have to use elements of the room to solve a series of puzzles, find clues, and escape the room within a set time limit. The games are based on "escape the room" video games in which the player is locked inside a room and must explore their surroundings in order to escape. Players must be observant and use their critical thinking skills to escape the room. -Wikipedia

FAQ
What is an escape room?
An escape room is a themed room or rooms in which, for a number of scenarios, you find yourself “locked” inside of. Through various puzzles, challenges, and tasks you must find your way out.
How old do you have to be to play?
We encourage that because of the paranormal nature of our particular escape room that guests be at least 14 years of age. Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult or legal guardian.
Is it hard?
In general most escape rooms are difficult; however, we try to ensure that whether you win or lose your entire group has a good, fun filled time that will be unlike anything else you have done.
How many people are allowed per group?
We allow a max of 6 people. There is a minimum of 4 players for the game to take place.
What if I don’t want to be in a group of strangers but I don’t have enough people to fill the entire room, can I have a private game?
Our rooms are currently private only bookings. You will not be mixed in with any other people.
I have family and or children that don’t want to or cannot play the game but there isn’t anywhere for them to go, do you have a spot to occupy them?

Once the game has begun no one will be allowed in the room. If you are running late please email us as early as you can. 10 minutes after your selected appointment time no one will be allowed entrance.
I’m having a family emergency or for whatever reason I will be unable to make it to my appointment time. Can I have a raincheck or refund?
We do not offer refunds. Please email us as soon as you possibly can about not being able to make your appointment time and someone will return your email. Please leave your phone number in case we need to call you.
Are there actors or monsters in the room that will touch me?
No. You and y our guests are the only living people in the room.
What happens if I break something?
That depends on the object/objects and how they broke. If we deem the action deliberate or unnecessary then you and or y our group will be responsible for the replacement of the object or objects.

If anyone should to leave the room before the entire game as been played through then all of the guests will be disqualified and the game will be over.

You may reschedule your appointment once, provided it is 3 days or 72 hours in advance. Any rescheduling under 72 hours will result in a $15 rescheduling fee per ticket.
When will you answer my email?
We will return your email in the order that we receive it. We are unable to answer emails while on a case and actively investigating the paranormal, so it may be in the daylight of the following day before we can respond.
