IMPORTANT INFO:

Ticketing is online for pre-paid reservations, or at the door. We recommend booking in advance, as ‘prime-time’ slots sell out days or weeks ahead of time. Your entire group will need to arrive no later than 15 minutes before your scheduled time, for introductions and rules. IMPORTANT: If you’re late, you will either forfeit your session time, or have your time available on the clock reduced.

Location: We’re at booth 87, at the entrance to the Enchanted Forest of Sherwood, just past the giant copper-roofed slide.

Three of our escape rooms are for folks 15+ in age. Though the content is not “PG-13,” per se, the difficulty level and nature/theme of the puzzle design is constructed for the non-child crowd. Also, at least one paying adult parent or guardian must be in the room with those 15 – 17. IF YOU BOOK THOSE ROOMS ONLINE AND SHOW UP WITH FOLKS YOUNGER THAN 15, YOU WILL RECEIVE NO REFUND.

“Pilpo Paggins & the Dwarf Mines” is for ages 10-Adult, but will still require a paid adult in the room with minors. Note that most sessions are public sessions, and you are likely to be grouped with other faire guests.

Also, be as sober as possible—inebriated guests will be asked to leave, with no refunds. Drunk guests who break puzzles/props may incur a $200 charge on their credit cards.

Escape Adventures: Where the elite meet to beat the heat, and compete! Sweet!
