How It Works
- You enter a themed room - it could be a mystery, prison, haunted house, secret lab, the possibilities are endless!
- Your team searches for clues hidden in objects, codes, or patterns.
- You solve puzzles - like number locks, riddles, symbols, or logic challenges.
- You unlock new areas or find the final key or code to "escape".
- You win if you finish the mission before time runs out!
- The goal: Work as a team, think creatively, and communicate well. It's not just about escaping - it's about teamwork, logic, and having fun!
Escape Room Tips
- Search everything carefully. Look under, behind, and inside objects (besides any objects that are labeled as "do not open")
- Spot patterns. Repeating numbers, symbols, or colors may end up being clues. (ex: if there are 3 red books, the code might be 3)
- Communicate constantly. Many puzzles require combining information that different people discover separately.
- Think simple first. Most puzzles are logical - don't overthink. Try obvious code orders before complex ones.
- Connect the dots. Link clues together from all across the room.
- Keep moving. Don't waste time stuck on one puzzle. Move on - another clue might unlock the answer!
Escape Room Rules
- No rough handling. Do not force open locks, doors, or props. If something doesn't open easily, it's not part of the puzzle.
- Respect the props and space. Please treat all decorations, furniture and props with care. Breaking items may result in game termination or a damage fee.
- Follow the game master's instructions. Your game master is there to guide and assist you. Listen carefully before and during the game.
- Children ages 12 and under must have an adult present.
- Do not take props, locks, or any other object from one room to the next one.
