What are escape rooms?
Escape rooms are interactive, real-life adventure games where players work together to solve puzzles, find clues, and complete tasks within 60 minutes to "escape" from a themed room or accomplish a specific goal. They follow a storyline. These games require teamwork, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
Are the games private?
Yes they are! We understand the value of a private game. Once you book a game online, it will show full and no other customers can join. You can add people to your game on the day of by brining them with. Those players can pay with a card in person in the store. We do not accept apple pay.
How long does the escape room experience take?
The actual game itself allows up to 60 minutes to escape. Some players escape before the 60 minutes is up, while others need extra time. We allow an additional 5 minutes to solve the mystery beyond the 60 minutes as long as you arrived on time. It takes about 5-10 minutes to watch intro videos, put belongings away, and use the restrooms before the game starts.
How many people can play at once?
Our largest room hold 8 adults (10 kids) comfortably -'Written in the stars"
You can check the max of each room on the "book online' or "our rooms" tabs.
However if you have large group we can split you up into all the games we have!
We can host a total of 22 adults (26 kids) at once at our Tinley Location between 3 rooms.
We can host a total of 14 adults (18 kids) at once at our Mokena location.
We can also host 36 total between our two locations.
Do I need to book my whole group at one time?
The minimum of players that you need to book online is 2. The booking of two will be enough to hold the entire game. You can bring additional players on the day of and they can pay in person. We allow a maximum of 3 additional transactions in the store per-evet. We do not have enough staff to be able to take all the individual payments so we ask large groups to try and arrange a way to minimize transactions between each other. We thank you so much in advanced for this!
When should we arrive?
You and your group should arrive about 5 or 10 minutes before your game. At this time you will sign a waiver, use the bathroom, put away coats/personal items, and watch two intro videos. You will then start your game for the time you booked.
How many different games do you have?
We have 5 different escape room themes that you can chose from between our Tinley Park & Mokena locations. We have 3 rooms at Tinley Park and 2 rooms at Mokena.
What is the difficulty of the rooms?
We consider our games to be about medium difficulty over all, although the games difficulty does vary. All of our game difficulty will vary depending on how many players there is. Groups of 2 may have a harder time some of the games based on the volume of puzzles , not necessary the difficulty of the puzzles. With that said, all of our games are absolutely achievable with groups of 2!
Backyard Secrets- Easy 5/10 (high volume of puzzles)
Written in the Starts - Easy - Medium 5/10 (high volume of puzzles)
Bottled Up - Medium 6/10 (good for groups of 2)
Runaway Freight- Medium-Hard 8/10
The Attic- Hard - 8/10 (good for groups of 2)
Can kids play these games?
Absolutely! All of our games are family/friendly and have puzzles for children to participate in. If you plan to have a kids only party, we will adapt the rooms to be more achievable. You can indicate the participants as "child" when booking or you can call us to set up a child party. We may ask an adult to join the room.
We highly recommend either "Written in the Stars" or "Backyard Secrets" as our most kid friendly games.
Can I host a private party?
Yes you can! See our Events tab for more event information.
Should I book an online reservation, or can I walk in?
We HIGHLY recommend that you book a game online, even if it is close to the time you want to come in. Booking a game online guarantees you and group get to play the room you want! There is minimum risk in booking online as you can change your date and time (with at least 6 hours notice).
You can book a game 40 minutes before it starts, and on weekends it can be as little as 10 minutes before the game. We do staff by appointment as well so it is very helpful for you to book your game online! There also may not be staff at the building at all times during business hours if we don't have games booked. So go ahead to the BOOKNOW tab and reserve your room!
