FAQ (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. 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.
Can we have birthday parties there?
Yes. After booking your room online, we recommend that you call us at (908) 547-0618 to reserve the kitchen area for bringing in your own food / drink / cake.
Can we have a get-together / meeting / conference there?
Yes. We have a combination of rectangular tables that seat 6 people, square adjustable bar height/seating height tables for 4 people, and a modular sofa seating area in the open concept lobby that can be used in combination to host parties as large as 80 people at a time. Check out our pictures below to see how we configured the dining are for a corporate team building event / party for 65 people.
Large groups (more than one room booked) have the option to customize the start times of rooms to accommodate their schedule (and have multiple rooms start at the same time). The cost is $30 plus tax per person plus $100 per hour for the kitchen/meeting area (after the first free hour).

We are not actively hiring now, but will be at the end of the summer because some of our gamemasters are leaving the Bridgewater area to attend some of the finest colleges in the nation. We wish them the best. If you'd like to apply, please read our job description and fill out an application here:
Will you donate to our Tricky Tray or basket raffle?
Due to the overwhelming number of requests we get on a daily basis (up to 150 requests a month), we limit our donations to local (Somerset, Hunterdon, and Morris counties) non-profit charitable organizations who mail us a request with a self-addressed stamped envelope. Unfortunately, we don't have the resources to fill out any forms that are included in the donation request.
Would you like to advertise in our newspaper / blog / website?
No. We have already allocated our advertising budgets to those channels that offer the highest ROI for our business.
