How to Choose an Escape Room

If you've never done an escape room before, here's the basic premise: your team is locked inside a themed room and has 60 minutes to find clues, solve puzzles and escape before time runs out. A Game Master monitors the action and can offer hints if your group gets stuck.

Experience

First-timers may prefer story-driven rooms, while experienced groups may want a stronger challenge.

Atmosphere

Choose between adventure, zombies, mystery, horror or psychological pressure.

Group Type

Some rooms are better for mixed-age groups, while others are best for adults and older teens.

Pressure Level

Some rooms are built to rattle you, while others focus more on logic and puzzle-solving.
