TV FeatureFrequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our escape room experiences, booking process, and what to expect.
How many people can play in one room?
Our escape rooms accommodate different group sizes depending on the theme. Most rooms can handle 2-8 players, with some larger rooms accommodating up to 10 people. We recommend 4-6 players for the optimal experience as it allows everyone to contribute while maintaining good communication. Larger groups may be split into multiple rooms for a competitive experience.
What happens if we can't solve the room in time?
Don't worry! About 70% of teams don't complete their first escape room within the time limit, and that's perfectly normal. Our game masters monitor your progress and can provide hints to keep you moving forward. Even if you don't "escape" in time, you'll still experience the full storyline and have fun solving puzzles. Many groups return to try the same room again or tackle a different challenge.
Are the rooms suitable for children?
Yes! We have family-friendly rooms suitable for children aged 10 and up when accompanied by adults. Some of our themes like "Pirate's Treasure" are especially popular with families. Children under 16 must be accompanied by at least one adult. We also offer special youth workshops for school groups and birthday parties with age-appropriate challenges and educational elements.
How far in advance should we book?
We recommend booking at least 1-2 weeks in advance, especially for weekend slots and larger groups. Popular time slots (Friday evenings, weekends) tend to fill up quickly. For corporate events and special occasions, we suggest booking 3-4 weeks ahead. However, we do accept walk-ins based on availability, and you can always check our online booking system for last-minute openings.
What safety measures do you have in place?
Safety is our top priority. All rooms have multiple exit points that are never locked, emergency lighting systems, and constant monitoring by our game masters through cameras and audio systems. We conduct thorough safety briefings before each game, maintain all equipment regularly, and have trained staff on-site at all times. Our rooms are also regularly sanitized and we follow all health guidelines to ensure a safe experience for everyone.
