The door locks behind you.

Your game master starts the clock from the booth next door and watches every minute on camera. Nobody is really locked in: the exit is never bolted.

Give someone
60 minutes.

Good for any room, any day, for two years. We email a printable ticket the same day, so it works for last-minute birthdays too.

Questions
before the door locks.

Still stuck? Call (614) 555-0171. A real person picks up during opening hours, usually the game master on shift.

How many people can play?

Most rooms take 2 to 6 players. Midnight Express and Signal Lost take up to 8, and bigger groups can book rooms side by side.

Are we actually locked in?

What if we get stuck?

How early should we arrive?

Is it OK for kids?

Can we move our booking?
