Here you will also find info on each of the rooms, such as maximum number of players and how long each experience lasts.

All of our games are available to play as 2 players.
An adult over 18 must remain on the premises at all times if all the players are under 18.
Very young players may find the puzzles very demanding, and will not get the most out of the game.

Children aged 12 - 16 may play Hexmore and Escape From Alcatraz without an adult providing the adult remains on site throughout the visit. All other games must include at least 1 paying adult to participate.
Players aged 16 -18 may play on their own, but the adult (18+) must sign the waiver before the game and remain on the premises throughout the visit, excluding the following escape rooms that have a ladder and need at least one paying adult (18+) that will climb it:
