Haven't got a clue? We've got you covered:
What is an "Escape Room"/"Escape Adventure"?
An Escape Room (a.k.a. "Escape Adventure") is a team-based, cooperative game where your group must solve a series of riddles and puzzles in order to complete your mission in a themed room. These puzzles can be solved by anyone with an imagination, sense of logic, and critical-thinking skills. In our Adventures, your team has 60 minutes to complete their mission. If you can "escape" in 60 minutes or less, you win! If you can't, you're a loser, but we'll let you out after an hour anyway!
How does it all work?
Step 1: Find a team (friends, family, coworkers, etc.)
Step 2: Pick an Escape Adventure and book through our site
Step 3: Show up to 5 N. Market Street 15 minutes before your scheduled start time to get your Game Briefing
Step 4: The clock starts ticking and it's time to ESCAPE!
What do I need to play the game?
To win, you will need your wits and a creative mind! You will not need a smartphone, super-strength, or any special knowledge to play any of our games - everything you need to win is waiting for you in the room.
But I couldn't escape my way out of an open cardboard box - what do I do if I get stumped?
Relax - you've got this! Escape Adventures are all about having fun, and our Game Overlords are standing by to assist you with helpful hints (if you need them).
Wait, you're actually locking me in? What if I need to get out and haven't found the key?
If you need to get out of the room, you can be released at any time. In ensuring the safety of our players, every room's door can be opened from the inside at any time for any reason. Our rooms are monitored by live video feed and have a designated Game Overlord stationed outside. If you can operate a doorknob, you have what it takes to escape!
Who all can play?
Our Adventures are designed for players of all ages. Players under the age of 18 are welcome as long as they are accompanied by someone 18 or older who can sign liability waivers for the group.
Youth are encouraged to participate with their families. For young Escape Artists (13 and younger), you are welcome to play as long as an adult is present (sometimes without a parent, the answers aren't apparent).
What if I have a larger group and want all of us to play the same Adventure?
Please contact our Special Events Division at escape@surelockedin.com and we will work to accommodate you!
Do I need to book in advance or can we just walk in?
You should absolutely book in advance to secure your spot, or call ahead to let us know that you are on the way. Booking tend to fill up fast (especially on weekends) and we want to ensure that your game is ready for you!
Wait a minute- will strangers be in our room? I thought it would be just us!
Fear not - all of our games are private games! You will never be in a room with someone you did not invite.
What if I want to book an Adventure outside of your business hours?
If you want to play when we're closed, you'll need to set up a Special Event. Please contact our Special Events Division at escape@surelockedin.com and we will work to accommodate you!
How much does it cost?
Tickets cost $32+tax per player for 60 minutes of play (or until you win) in any of our rooms. Young Escape Artists 12 and under play at a discounted price.
What groups rate do you offer (since I'm bringing everyone that I know)?
We do not offer group rates for our Escape Adventures. Not only are these events designed with large groups in mind, but our prices are already cheaper than the industry standard. But, just for you, we will offer a special rate of $29/player + tax!
What if can't show up for my booking?
We understand that life gets busy, so you can cancel or edit your booking until 3 days before your Adventure, free of charge! After that, all sales are final and you are booked for the time you have selected. No refunds will be offered in the event of a no-show or last-minute cancellation.
Your time starts at the time indicated by your booking. Additionally, guests who arrive more than 30 minutes late for their booking will forfeit their spot and be unable to play (at that point, by the time we have processed your group, you will have missed too much of your Adventure to play).
What if I want to switch bookings?
As long as you're more than 3 days out from your Adventure, you can cancel your current reservation for a full refund (within 3 days of your event, no refunds will be offered). After that, you are free to book a ticket for your new Adventure, provided that there are any tickets left.
May I bring food or drinks with me into the room?
Please eat and drink before you arrive - we don't allow any foods or beverages in our rooms.
When you say "drink" before you arrive...?
We reserve the right to refuse service, without a refund, if you show up in a state that renders you unable to respectfully play. Furthermore, all players agree to a "if you break it, you buy it" policy when purchasing tickets. Please come to have fun, and plan to heartily toast to your team's success after your Adventure concludes.
Is this a scary event (will people be jumping out at me)?
Nope! Nothing will jump out at you or deliberately spook you. These are fun games, appropriate for all ages.
Surelocked In is so cool - I've gotta take pictures of everything!
While we appreciate that you want to tell all of your friends about us, but please do not tell anyone how to escape from our rooms (we want to let them figure it out for themselves)! In this spirit, no cell phones or recording devices are permitted into the rooms. They will be placed in a container outside of the room and monitored by our employees at all times.
Who comes up with all these puzzles?
We did not invent the concept of live Escape Rooms, but we did design all of our own games from scratch! Unlike other escape rooms, none of our puzzles were purchased from other companies, meaning everything you experience here is a unique, Surelocked In original!
