What happens during an Escape Room ?

After an initial briefing covering the general rules, a Game Master guides you to the door of your room. Before entering the room, the Game Master sets the scene by reading the story, explaining what awaits the players in the room, and how to get started (this can also be done via a video presentation).

Then, the group of players begins to explore the room, look for clues and solve puzzles to escape in less than 60 minutes.

Who are Escape Rooms meant for ?

Escape Rooms are intended for all people who like to have fun, play as a team and are looking to try out something new.

Whether you are a group of friends, family or colleagues, there is room for everyone. Escape Rooms are also excellent for team building. Once the door is closed, your group will be united around one goal and working together to trying to get out on time.

Some popular elements of an Escape Room

Element	Description
Locks and wrenches	To move forward and open certain doors or safes, you will need to find physical keys or numeric codes in the room that will unlock certain locks.
A locked exit door	This is the final door that you will have to open in less than 60 minutes.
Many rooms	Often, the first piece you enter will not be the only piece you will need to solve the complete set.
Hidden doors	This is the element most appreciated by the players. In some room, there are hiding places/openings that lead to other rooms. Hidden doors are usually activated by magnetic/electronic switches, by a staff member, or by simply obtaining instructions or the ability to remove an object to find a tunnel/gate.
