Question 1

Am I actually locked in?

Players will be metaphorically "locked" in a room, and in order to fully enjoy the game, it is recommended that players remain inside the room throughout the allotted time.  However for safety reasons, the entry door is accessible throughout the game.

Question 2

Are your rooms scary?

Accepted Answer

Escape rooms have themes and props to set a mood, but they are not haunted houses intended to scare players.

Question 5

Will we be given hints during the game?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Staff will provide hints as needed and/or upon request. There are two levels of difficulty, one for beginners where you can receive unlimited hints, but are not eligible for our leaderboard. And one with a maximum number of hints but are eligible for the leaderboard. This way our games are fun both for beginners and advanced players!

Question 6

What happens if we don’t escape in time?
