How many people should I bring to an escape room?

Calvin Kammer

Your Group, Your Rules! 🎉🗝️

At Next-Gen, our escape rooms can host anywhere from 2 to 8 players. While all sizes have their perks, we find that groups of 4 or 5 offer a solid balance of puzzle-solving and fun.

Too Big To Handle? 🤷‍♂️💡

If your group is bigger than 8, things can get a bit chaotic. In large groups, it's easy to lose track, and some folks may not get to solve a thing! For those mega-groups, consider booking two rooms and make it a race. Or maybe scope out our competitors for larger rooms (but we'd miss you!).

Size Doesn't Always Matter 📏🎲

Once, we had a group of 10 tackle our King's Keep room. Did they solve it in record time? Yes. Did everyone get to solve a puzzle? Definitely not. Did they have fun? Absolutely!

The Bottom Line đź“ť

Whether you're a dynamic duo or a party of 8, there's room for you here. Just keep in mind, 4-5 players usually offer the best balance for a top-notch escape room experience.

So, how many are you bringing to your next escape? Book now and find out! 🚪🔑
