Can You Escape In 60 Minutes?
Real-life escape room games are a type of physical adventure game in which people are locked in a room with other participants and have to use elements of the room to solve a series of puzzles, find clues, and escape the room within a set time limit. Some games include sub-plots. The games are based on “escape the room” video games in which the player is locked inside a room and must explore their surroundings in order to escape. Players must be observant and use their critical thinking skills to escape the room. Other inspirations include adventure board games and movies.

Unfortunately, all sales are final and tickets are non-refundable as with other ticket purchases made for concerts, shows, etc.
HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN PLAY?
Any number ranging from 2-10 people depending on the room. Keep in mind the smaller the group the harder the room will be to solve.
WHO IS IT FOR?

ARE WE REALLY GOING TO BE “LOCKED” IN A ROOM?
Yes and no. You will be locked in a room but there is a emergency exit accessible all throughout the game if you need to leave. However, once you leave the room the game is over.
WILL THERE BE PEOPLE I DO NOT KNOW IN THE ROOM?
Yes, the room is open to anyone to book and to enjoy the experience with other players. Strangers upon entry will not feel that way once the game begins, however, if you’d like a private experience, please contact us at info@mindtrapescaperooms.com
CAN MY GROUP HAVE EXCLUSIVE USE OF THE ROOM?
Yes, we do have a six person minimum for private rooms, once you make your reservation please email us or call us to have your room experience made private.

CAN I BRING A CELL PHONE INTO THE GAME?
No. The whole point of the game is to escape the real world and have fun without electronics for an hour. The use of electronic devices is strictly prohibited and your removal from the game will be immediate if caught using a cellphone. We do have a lock box that you can place your items in.
