Before you book

Questions About Our Escape Rooms Near Lancaster

Who will be in the game with me?

Only your group. Every booking is private, so you're never paired with strangers. Because each room is yours alone, each booking has a minimum number of tickets:

Room	Players	Wed–Fri minimum	Sat–Sun minimum
The Inheritance: By Day	2 to 10	2 tickets	3 tickets
The Inheritance: By Night	4 to 10	4 players	4 players
Our seasonal room	Up to 5	2 tickets	3 tickets

Just the two of you on a weekend? Book 3 tickets and the room is all yours.

Why By Night is different: its puzzles are designed for at least 4 people working together, so it needs 4 players in the room. Extra tickets can't stand in for missing players.

Bigger group? Call us to play in back-to-back groups or book the whole venue privately.

How long is the experience?

60 minutes in the room, plus our theatrical pre-show and immersive lobby (about 70 minutes from arrival to departure).

Is it scary?

No. Our rooms are thrilling, not chilling.

Are we locked in?

No. Doors ahead of you may be locked as part of the game, but the emergency exit is never locked.

What ages can play?

All ages are welcome. Guests under 18 must be booked by an adult with waivers signed, and guests under 16 need an adult in the room.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There were 9 of us playing.  This was the best escape room!  Every puzzle was well designed so there weren't tricky instances where it was solved but didn't register. The thought and detail that went into every room and item was phenomenal. It was a 90 minute drive for us and absolutely worth it.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing experience from start to finish!  The entrance is particularly unique and thematic, and both rooms we completed (blooming garden and inheritance) were beautifully decorated with a cohesive storyline.  Very high-tech - the owners clearly put a lot of effort and love into the place and it shows.  Our two kids (ages 10 and 8) enjoyed themselves immensely.  We'll most certainly return to complete their other rooms in the future!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Blooming garden room was remarkable. Themes, staff, setting and even the entrance was well done. Thank your for a great experience! We will be back!

Update: after playing blooming garden, we played inheritance, and were even more amazed. High level tech, great story line and how many rooms can one game have?!?!
