Most travelers can participate
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.
This tour/activity will have a maximum of 12 travelers

Absolutely Amazing Experience

Chris_H, Jun 2022

The escape room, classified was absolutely amazing. The room itself was decorated so creatively and so well done. Our “team lead” Jonny helped us all the way through the room. He was most definitely the best part of the whole experience, and he wasn’t even in the room!

My friend and I paired with this other group while we also waited for our friend. They were nice and we got pretty far in the room with their help, but we barely ran out of time. For future games I think a 5 minute time extension, like how the hints work, could be a big help
