1. Choose Your Room
Choose from any of our escape rooms! Groups larger than 6 players may need to split up into two or more game rooms. Rooms have limited space, and are best optimized for 6 or fewer players. We recommend ages 12 and up, though we've had children as young as 7 play and have a blast!

2. Book Your Room
After making the reservation online or on the phone, coordinate with the other players to arrive up to 15 minutes early. Attached to your confirmation email and at the bottom of this page are waivers that must be filled out for each player ahead of time!

3. Play your Room!
After checking everyone in, our staff explains the rules, story, and goal of the game to players. They have 60 minutes to beat the game!
Our games have optional mechanics which makes it great for first timers who just want to escape, as well as escape room enthusiasts who love a challenge!
ESCAPE ROOM PARTY
FAQS
WHAT TO EXPECT
Escape Rooms are a fun and engaging way to celebrate! Your group will have to work together, communicate, and use critical thinking skills all while running against the clock! It's adds up to one memorable experience!
Each game lasts for about an hour, with some groups escaping earlier than others. Expect to be on-site for around 90 minutes total.
Are the doors ever locked?
No! Our doors are never locked; players are free to enter or leave the room, but that is never how they can win the game!
You can read more about escape room specific FAQ's here.
How many can participate?
Each of our escape rooms accommodates 2-6 players, but for larger groups, you can book multiple rooms at the same time and compete for the fastest escape!
Is there a minimum age requirement for a birthday party?
Our escape games are designed for ages 12 and up, but younger players can play. If you're booking for a group of kids, we recommend having at least one adult in the room or on-site.
Where are you located, and is parking available?
Our Address is 7718 N First St Fresno CA 93726.
We’re conveniently located near Highway 41 and Riverpark, with ample free parking available.
(Around 3:00-3:15 every weekday Kastner Middle School is released unto Fresno and parents use our parking lot. If there is no immediate parking available at this time there will be parking available near our neighbor Save Mart.)
I have someone attending who isn't playing, is that ok?
Guests that are not participating are invited to hang out in our lobby while the escape game is underway (or visit some of our wonderful neighbors). If they have completed a waiver ahead of time, guests are encouraged to view the room before and after, and take any photos of the birthday party group!
The only guests allowed into the escape room while it is being played is the players assigned to the room.
How long do the escape rooms last?
Escape rooms normally last for around an hour. Some groups require more time, and as long as players arrived timely we can usually let them take extra time to finish the game if needed.
What is the recommended age?
Anyone may play and participate.
We recommend ages 12 and up. Our games are quite challenging!
Parties that are only 12 years old or younger may struggle in the rooms, we recommend at least one adult play with them. Many groups of adults have played our games and failed (even with extra time), do not be fooled- it is a challenge!
On more than one occasion parties comprised of particularly rowdy teenagers have required an adult from the party to intervene with the game. Teenagers sometimes forget they are being monitored and in an nonprivate forum and start to do reckless behavior- to our props, sets, and puzzles, that are our valuable property, and we don't take kindly to our props getting destroyed for a reckless behavior! Guardians are welcome to stay behind the scenes and watch, but be warned- a surprising amount of kids use adult language when they think they are alone...
Can we bring our own food or drinks?
While we don’t allow food or drinks inside the escape rooms, we welcome birthday groups to celebrate before or after the game in a nearby restaurant, café, or event space.
Our friends at Crazy Squirrel Games Store directly across the street from us offer an amazing space to host birthdays, and we offer packages with them! Play the escape room, then plenty of board games across the street is a winning move, reach out to us to schedule this kind of party!
What are the prices for the escape room?
Our prices vary and depend on how many people will be attending as well as the options you choose.
Escape Room: $39.99 per person
