How old do you have to be to play an escape room in Fresno?

Unsure about the age requirements for escape rooms in Fresno? Here's a quick summary:

Recommended Ages 12 +

Escape rooms are mental challenges. They require a certain level of maturity and problem-solving skills, so age is an important consideration.

Take for example, Next-Gen Escape. It recommends participants to be at least 12 years old due to the complexity of their puzzles. Younger players are welcome, but the rooms are not specifically designed for them.

Across Fresno, most escape rooms follow a similar guideline, suggesting players to be 12 years or older. Some may require parental consent for safety and appropriateness, but ultimately it is each locations choice.

Players must be at least 8 years or older to participate.

Make sure to check each establishment's specific rules before you book!

Some can be 18 or older, but that's rare.

18+ rooms are typically for intense horror themed rooms, of which Next-Gen Escape does not have. While some of our rooms can be scary or intense at times, it's all fun that even someone at age 12 would enjoy.
