Yes, please.

At this time you may set a reservation for up to 4 months in advance.

To secure your ideal game and time, please consider booking 2-4 weeks in advance.

We do not accept walk-in appointments, but we can certainly do our best to accommodate you. Give us a call or email letting us know your group size, desired time(s) and games(s) and we’ll help.

Players who have a reservation may bring up to the maximum capacity of the room as additional players to be processed as walk-in guests. No notice is necessary.

We rarely receive cancellations and are unable to accommodate substitutions. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Please email us at Booking@esc101.com and we’d be happy to set a date/ time that suits your schedule.

At the time your reservation is finalized, we require a deposit of 50%. The remaining cost, based on your total group size, will be settled at the front desk upon your arrival & check-in.

We do require a minimum ticket purchase for our rooms, which varies based on the maximum capacity. You may play with as few people as you’d like, or by yourself as long as the minimum purchase is met.

Please note that for an ideal escape room experience, we suggest teams beginning at 5 players.

We’ve set our maximum limit of players for each room lower than what the room can comfortably hold. This has been done in consideration of strangers who may be playing together and would appreciate a little more personal space. If you’re filling the room and would like to add just a few additional players, we’re happy to allow it. Please note that each additional player must have a ticket. Our feasible maximums for rooms range from 4 to 14 players depending on the room in question.

Players of all ages are welcome. Really, there’s something for everyone!

Please Note: Attendees under the age of 18 are welcome to book a reservation only if they have a valid, state-issued drivers’ license. This will serve as positive identification upon check-in.

Not unless you invite them in. We are proud to offer every reservation as a private experience so that everyone is sure to have a great time.

We have a tiered pricing model which lessens the individual ticket cost as your group size increases. The rates vary from room to room due to their size. Please visit our ‘Book Now’ page for more information on pricing.

Yes! The more the merrier, right? You may bring additional players for processing at the front desk when you arrive & check-in. Due to availability constraints, we ask that you please do not exceed the maximum capacity of the room unless a member of our team has spoken to you in advance to set the proper arrangements.

The game is for 60 minutes. We have a 10-minute introduction. If the group does not escape, we offer a debrief session after the game where the Game Master will walk the team through the remaining puzzles/ locks and will answer any questions. This can typically take up to 15 minutes.

We’re open Wednesday to Sunday and many holidays. We run games throughout the day – see individual game schedules on the Book Now page – but if you cannot find a game or time that suits your schedule, please email us at Booking@esc101.com and we’ll be happy to help accommodate you.

Escape 101 is a great place for a birthday celebration, bachelor/ bachelorette party, family reunion, team outing, and more. We’ve even hosted a wedding proposal (she said yes!)

We trust that you’ll use this guide to identify strong teamwork and collaboration among members of your group.  We’ve also included notes on how many people are typically needed to solve individual puzzles. This should be helpful in delegating.
