Games are recommended for ages 13 and up. Younger players are allowed, but some of the game content may be too difficult for them. An adult, 18 or older, must participate with anyone that is 14 and under. Also, any participants under the age of 18 will need an adult to sign their waiver.
You will be in a room with a locked door, but every door is equipped with an exit button. Should you feel the need to leave the room, you are welcome to do so at any time.
Each game is designed for one hour of intense fun! Plan to spend 15 minutes prior to each game preparing and briefing for your mission, and 15 minutes after each game to debrief and take photos.
The Escape Game experiences are very different from what you typically see in other escape rooms. These games aren't scary or dark. They are exciting, adventurous, and something all guests can enjoy.
Unless you book all the spots in a game, our games have the potential to be shared experiences, which means others could book into your game and join your team.

5.00My family came into town and we needed something fun to do (there were 4 of us). This was the best thing ever! We did the Gold Rush room and we all had SO MUCH FUN!! We escaped in 49 minutes with minimal hints! We were thoroughly impressed with the setup of the rooms and how authentic they felt! The puzzles were so awesome and unique! Our tour guide was engaging and even gave us some sneak peaks of the other rooms. We even bought the discounted gift cards afterwards so that we could come back and do another room!
