WHAT IS AN ESCAPE ROOM?
An escape room is a live-action entertainment experience where players are locked in a room full of puzzles and clues,
and have to use their wits to uncover the mysteries of the room and escape before the 60-minute clock expires.

WILL I REALLY BE LOCKED IN A ROOM?
For your peace of mind, our rooms are equipped with commercial-grade access control systems
that allow players to come and go as they please during the game by pressing a button.
However, to successfully "escape" the room, you must find the key or code that is hidden in the room.

DO I HAVE TO COMPLETE OBSTACLE COURSE-LIKE CHALLENGES?
Our puzzles are designed to test your mental agility and problem solving skills.
Some rooms may require you to climb, dip, duck or scoot in order to solve a puzzle, but no heavy sweating required.
For our Lost Pyramid room, be prepared to get a little dusty.

IS THIS LIKE A HAUNTED HOUSE?
No, we have no intention of scaring you. Though the plot itself may be a bit chilling,
we’re not trying to be a haunted house. Some rooms may feature elements such as lasers,
fog and/or other thematic elements, but no one is going to jump out and frighten you.

DO I NEED PRIOR KNOWLEDGE BEFORE ENTERING THE ROOM?
No. All of our rooms can be solved using the clues found within the room.
All you need is your brain and great teamwork to solve the multitude of challenges you will encounter.

IS THERE AN AGE LIMIT?
The level of difficulty ranges from puzzle to puzzle. What stumps an adult, may require a youthful imagination.
Children 5 and up will need a ticket to play and must be accompanied by a paying adult participant (21 and older).
Those 4 and under are free to play.
There's nothing scary or inappropriate in any of our rooms unless otherwise noted,
but we find that some themes may be too intense or difficult for those under age 8.
For age appropriate recommendations, feel free to give us a call!
East End Express includes some cinematic themes and violence, so PG-13 is recommended.
