Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I play with less then 4 players?Yes, you can play with fewer than 4 players in most of our rooms, with the exception of Curse of the Mayan Temple, which requires a minimum of 4 players. For our other rooms, while it's possible to play with smaller groups, please note that it will significantly increase the challenge. The tasks are designed for up to 8 players, meaning that fewer players will have to accomplish the same amount of work. This can make the experience extremely demanding, but still achievable. However, we do not recommend this for those who are new to escape rooms or have limited experience.
-
Will there be strangers in my game session?All of our games are completely private. It’ll be just you and the friends or family you invited to play.
-
How early should we arrive?Please arrive at least 15 minutes before your game to give you time to park, sign waivers, use the restroom, and be ready for action!
-
Is it hard and what are the difficulty levels?The difficulty of our escape rooms depends on the experience level of your group, the game you choose, and the size of your team. We offer various difficulty levels to suit different challenges. Our easiest games are rated at a level 6, meaning they are still quite challenging and many first-time players may find it difficult to escape. Our hardest rooms are rated at a 9.5, which is almost impossible for first-time players. Keep in mind, the fewer players in your group, the more demanding the experience can be, as you'll need to complete tasks designed for larger teams.
-
I have never done one of these, what are they? What if we don't get out?"An Escape Room is a physical and mental adventure game where participants are placed into a room and have to use teamwork along with elements of the room to solve a series of puzzles, find clues, and escape the room within a set time limit. Each room is themed and has a unique story-line that engages the players through their environment.
-
Do I need to pay for younger children?We don’t charge for children under 6. Please keep in mind that there are some intense moments during the game that could scare younger kids. Prices apply to ages 7 and older. Although we don't recommend bringing younger children as the experience is really not geared for them. We ask that all children under the age of 7 are watched closely while in the experience. They are not to climb on furniture, be left playing with props or handle any locks. This is for their safety. 17 years old and under must have a *Legal Parent present as a participant. Curse of the Mayan Temple MUST have TWO *Legal Parents as paid participants.
-
Can we have more people in a room than listed on the website?Our games are optimally designed for the number of people listed. However, we will try to accommodate your request at our discretion.
-
How much is it?Prices vary from $30.00 per person to $34.00 per person based on the experience chosen. Because our games are designed for 4-8 players, each game has a minimum base rate to play. Ticket price increases for 5 or more players.
-
Can we book a room outside of your normal business hours? We have more than 8 people and would like to start several rooms at the same time, is that possible?"Please give us a call at (505) 508-1155 for availability.
-
How do I make reservations?Use the online booking system or give us a call. All rooms are to be paid in advance. If you need to add additional people or need to set up a corporate event, please give us a call at (505) 508-1155 for over the phone availability and booking. Adding additional players at the door is subject to the standard rate.
-
How do I reschedule or cancel my booking?Sorry, no refunds for booking cancellations and no-shows. However, if you call us 24 hours before your game is set to begin, we will re-book your game for a later time.
-
What is the age limit/which would be most appropriate for my kid's birthday party/can I bring babies? Do all parents need to be present for minors to pay?There is no age limit, though the puzzles are designed for adults. We recommend the lower difficulty rooms for younger groups. If your group is all under the age of 14 then a parent or adult will need to be in the room with them. We don't recommend bringing babies as it makes focusing on the game extremely difficult; however, they are not prohibited.
-
Are the rooms wheelchair friendly?Rattlesnake Bend, Curse of the Mayan Temple, Area 53 and Doomsday Bunker are 100% wheelchair assessible. Da Vinci's Secret and Camp Crystal Lake are assessible for the majority of the game, there are, however, parts of the games that are not accessible. Escape Jumanji is a physical game with elevation changes and possible crawling, but not everyone will have to crawl. Enter at your own risk. If you have any questions, please call us before booking.
-
Are animals or pets allowed in the rooms?Service animals are always welcome; purse pets or any other pet is not.
-
Can we bring alcohol in with us?While that sounds like a great idea, the answer is no, you will need most of your brain power. There is a brewery just down the street for you to enjoy an adult beverage after your experience. Trust us, you are going to talk about your experience for hours.
