What age is best for escape rooms?

Our Age Guidelines 📋

At Next-Gen, the doors are open for anyone 8 years or older. However, our games are challenging, and we recommend them for ages 12 and up.

1. Challenge Level 🎮

Our rooms are no walk in the park. With intricate puzzles and elaborate setups, the challenge can be too intense for the younger crowd.

2. Team Dynamics 👥

Escape rooms are all about teamwork. The analytical and communication skills of older kids and teens generally mesh well with the demands of the game.

3. Escape Rates 📊

Not everyone makes it out in time, and that's part of the fun! But older players often find the challenge more satisfying, even if they don't escape.

Tips for Parents 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

1. Supervision: Kids 8 to 11 should be accompanied by at least one adult.

2. Room Choice: Pick a room that matches the skill level of your group. Our staff can help with recommendations.

3. Prep Talk: Make sure the kids know what they're getting into. A challenging room can be frustrating for younger minds.

Conclusion 🎉

While we welcome players as young as 8, the sweet spot for enjoying our rooms is 12 and up. So if you're in that age range, or you've got kids who are, come on down and take on the challenge!

See you at the next escape! 🗝️🎉
