They vary – but they WILL challenge you. Rooms may have between a 5% and 30% success rate. Yes, 5%. Yet people come back again and again because it is a thrill to even come close to escaping since you solved so many genuine challenges in an immersive environment with the help of new and old friends. One “aha!” after another makes these games outrageously fun and rewarding!

Each game includes 2-8 (possibly 10) people. If you do not have a full team and do NOT want other players to join you, you must purchase all tickets for your time slot. Otherwise, you may be grouped with others to combine for a max of 4 in Missing Starlet and 8 in the other rooms. The Date Night – Missing Starlet is 2-4 max. The Office of Secret Agent 22 is recommended for 8 people, but it can accommodate up to 10, and the Serial Killer Sleuth room has a max of 10 people.

Anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult. We recommend ages 12 and older. We will be offering family and youth group escapes with family-friendly group prices – keep a close eye on our schedule.
