FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much does it cost?
The cost is $30 per player plus tax. Each room has a different minimum requirement. For example, on weekdays, small rooms may have a 3 person minimum and large rooms may have a 6 person minimum. On weekends and holidays, the room minimums may increase. If you have fewer than the minimum number of participants, please give us a call and we can see if we have availability for smaller groups. We don't charge for children 8 and under.

What if I don't know the exact number of players?
We have three rooms that are ideal for 4-6 players and three rooms that are ideal for 6-8 players. Choose a room size that you think will best suit your group. You are guaranteed a private room, therefore you can book for a fewer number of players, pay the minimum deposit, and then adjust the final number of players when you get here.

What is the age range for participants?
Escape Room Center is most enjoyable for adults, but all ages may play. For all children 11-13, we do require that a paying adult attend inside the game room. For groups that will be primarily children, our minimum recommended age is 11 (so please don't ask if your child can have their 10th birthday party here). We do ask that you ensure the children understand the activity and focus on the task at hand in consideration of all our guests. No running or yelling please. We do encourage cheering and laughing, and we get that a lot. There is nothing in the current rooms that is considered scary for younger guests.

Can we have an extra player or two?
When we say that a room has an ideal capacity of 4-6 players or 6-8 players, that means there are enough puzzles in the room to keep that number of people occupied for the hour. The rooms are large enough to hold more people than that. Therefore, if you have a children's birthday party of 8 players in one of our 6-8 player rooms, there is still space for 2 additional adults to monitor the room. The same applies if you have a group that is one person larger than the recommended capacity -- there is room for the extra player, you just might find yourselves finishing a little faster or having less to do in the room. We charge for each person in the room, including the supervising adult. We don't charge for children 8 and under.
