Question 1

What is an escape room?

Accepted Answer

An escape room is an interactive adventure game where players work together to solve puzzles, find clues, and complete objectives within a set time limit (usually 60 minutes) to 'escape' from a themed room. It's perfect for team building, parties, dates, and anyone looking for a thrilling mental challenge.

Question 2

How many people can play an escape room?

Accepted Answer

Most escape rooms accommodate 2-8 players, though some rooms support up to 12 participants. Smaller groups (2-4 players) work well for intimate experiences, while larger groups (6-8 players) are great for team building. Check each room's specific capacity requirements when booking.

Question 3

How long does an escape room take?

Accepted Answer

The actual game typically lasts 60 minutes, though some rooms offer 45-minute or 90-minute experiences. Plan to arrive 15 minutes early for check-in and a brief orientation. After the game, most venues allow time for photos and debriefing, so budget about 90 minutes total.

Question 4

Do I need experience to play an escape room?

Accepted Answer

No experience needed! Escape rooms are designed for players of all skill levels. Many venues offer rooms with different difficulty levels, from beginner-friendly to expert challenges. Game masters are available to provide hints if you get stuck, ensuring everyone has a fun experience.

Question 5

What should I bring to an escape room?

Accepted Answer

Just bring yourself, your team, and a positive attitude! Most escape rooms provide lockers for your belongings. You typically won't need phones, bags, or personal items during the game. Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely, as some rooms may require bending, reaching, or light physical activity.

Question 6

Are escape rooms safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, escape rooms are very safe! All rooms are monitored by game masters via cameras and microphones. Emergency exits are clearly marked and accessible at all times. The puzzles are mental challenges, not physical risks. Venues follow strict safety protocols and fire codes.

Question 7

Can I book an escape room for a private event?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Many escape rooms offer private bookings for birthdays, corporate team building, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and special occasions. Some venues provide party rooms or event spaces. Contact the venue directly or check their booking options for group reservations and special packages.

Question 8

What happens if we don't escape in time?

Accepted Answer

Not escaping in time is completely normal—many groups don't complete the room on their first try! The game master will reveal the remaining puzzles and explain how to finish the room. You'll still have had the full experience of solving most challenges. Many players book a rematch or try a different room!
