General information

What is an escape room?
An escape room is a physical adventure game where players are placed in a themed room and have to solve a series of puzzles, find clues, and complete objectives within a set time limit (usually 60 minutes) to 'escape' or accomplish the mission. Our rooms are designed to challenge your mind, test your teamwork, and provide an unforgettable experience for friends, families, and colleagues.
I've never done an escape room before. Any tips?
For first-timers, we recommend: 1) Communicate with your team and share what you find, 2) Search thoroughly but respectfully - nothing needs to be forced or broken, 3) Organize your clues so you can keep track of what you've found, 4) Don't be afraid to ask for hints if you're stuck, and 5) Most importantly, have fun! Our Quest for the Magic Wand room is an excellent choice for beginners.
What should I bring to an escape room?
You don't need to bring anything special to enjoy our escape rooms. Just bring your enthusiasm, problem-solving skills, and team spirit! We provide everything needed to solve the puzzles. We do recommend wearing comfortable clothing and arriving 15 minutes before your scheduled time. Please note that food and drinks are not allowed in the escape rooms, and we have secure lockers for your personal belongings.
How many people can play in an escape room?
Each of our rooms has a minimum and maximum capacity: Operation Beehive accommodates 2-8 players, The Diamond Heist works best with 2-7 players, and Quest for the Magic Wand is suitable for 2-6 players. For the best experience, we recommend 3-5 players for Operation Beehive and Quest for the Magic Wand, and 4-6 players for The Diamond Heist due to its complexity and multi-room layout.
Is there a minimum age requirement?
We recommend players be at least 10 years old to fully enjoy and participate in the puzzles. If you are looking at a group of kids playing together with an adult, then 12 years old is the minimum age. Players under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Our Quest for the Magic Wand room is the most family-friendly option. The Diamond Heist and Operation Beehive contain more complex puzzles that may be challenging for younger players. There's no maximum age limit - escape rooms are fun for everyone!

The game experience

Do we really get locked in?
No, you are never actually locked in the room. For safety reasons, you can exit the room at any time if needed. The goal is to solve the puzzles to 'escape' within the time limit, but the door is never physically locked. Our game masters monitor your progress throughout the experience to ensure your safety and enjoyment.
Are the rooms scary?
No, our rooms are not designed to be scary. They are puzzle-based adventures that focus on problem-solving rather than fear factors. There are no jump scares, horror elements, or actors that will frighten you. All our rooms are suitable for players who don't enjoy horror elements. The rooms are challenging mentally, but not frightening.
Can we take photos inside the rooms?
To preserve the mystery for future players and protect our room designs, we don't allow photos inside the rooms during gameplay. However, we're happy to take a group photo of your team before or after your experience that you can share on social media! We encourage you to tag us in your posts - we love seeing our players' excitement.

Group bookings & events

Do you offer team building events?
Yes, we specialize in corporate team building events! Our escape rooms are perfect for improving communication, problem-solving, and teamwork. We offer several packages: Team Building Basic (up to 20 people, 2 hours) for $600, Team Building Premium (up to 30 people, half day) for $1,200, and Custom Corporate Events with flexible pricing. Visit our Team Building page for more details or contact us to discuss your specific needs.
Do you offer private bookings?
Yes, when you book an entire room, it's automatically private - we never combine different groups in the same room. For exclusive use of our entire facility, please contact us about our corporate packages or custom events. This is perfect for larger celebrations, team building events, or any occasion where you want a more personalized experience.
