How far in advance should I book my game?
We allow bookings until 3 hours before the game time, but to ensure you get the date and time you prefer, we recommend booking 1-2 weeks in advance. This is especially true of night and weekend games.
How long before my scheduled time do I need to arrive?
In order to be considered "on time," you MUST arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your scheduled ticket time in order to complete our electronic waivers and watch the instructional video. Late arrivals may be admitted, but your 60-minute window cannot be extended so you will have less game time. No refunds will be offered for late arrivals or no-shows.
Will we really be locked in a room?
The door you enter from acts as both an entrance and an emergency exit and is never locked. However, if you must leave through this exit, the game will end immediately.
Is it scary like the haunted house?
Although some games are horror-themed, we wouldn't classify them as scary, except for The Asylum. There aren't actors and scares like the haunted house.

Each game costs $32 per person, plus tax.
