FAQ's
Escape rooms are immersive, real-life adventure games where teams work together to solve puzzles, find clues, and complete tasks to “escape” from a themed room—usually within 60 minutes. Each game is a race against time, perfect for team-building, friends, families, or thrill-seekers.
Simply browse the available venues on our platform, choose your preferred location and room, select a date and time, and follow the steps to confirm your booking.

Each escape room venue sets its own cancellation and refund policy, which may vary. While some venues offer refunds or rescheduling if notified in advance, others may have stricter policies—especially within 24 hours of your booking. Please review the specific venue’s terms before confirming your booking, as all refunds are subject to their individual policies.
