FAQ
Answers to common questions below...
Are the rooms beginner-friendly?
Of course! Our rooms vary in difficulty, so no matter your skill level, we have something for you. Also, our staff is trained to make your experience as fun as possible. If you get stuck, they’ll help you out with a hint to get you back on track!
What’s the age range?
When it comes to enjoying an escape room, there is no such thing as too old or too young. There are brilliant puzzle solvers of all ages, and they are certainly welcome here! We do ask, however, for children to be accompanied by an adult.
Is any background knowledge required?
Not at all! You will be provided with absolutely everything you need to escape. No background knowledge is needed, although having experience with escape rooms and puzzles might give you an advantage!
Are phones allowed?
Yes! Just be warned: Google won’t help you! Our puzzles and challenges are original, and you won’t be able to look up a solution. As far as photography goes: have fun, do your thing, get your angles right, just please don’t take pictures of any spoilers (lock combination, hidden secrets, etc).
Will it be safe?
Absolutely. All of our puzzles are safe, and our rooms are thoroughly inspected and sanitized ; your safety is our top priority. At no point will you be asked to do anything that could potentially put you in harms way.
