FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
FAQS
No, we’re not going to give away the secrets locked behind our game room doors, but these frequently asked questions do offer a few valuable escape room tips and tricks for first-time escapees.
BONUS QUESTION: What are we doing in response to COVID-19?
Glad you asked! While we were shut down in accordance with state and local regulations, we used the time to figure out a way to provide players a safe and hygienic way to escape once we opened again. So here’s what we’re doing to keep our gamers safe:
- We only allow 10 people in the building to play a game at any given time
- All bookings are private, ensuring you know who you’re playing with
- All staff is required to wear a mask
- All rooms will be extensively sanitized after every game
- Escapees will no longer wear jumpsuits in the Prison Break game
- Wearing handcuffs in Prison Break is optional
1. What is the cost per person?
2. How many people do I need to play?
Just you! Each game can have up to 8-10 people, depending on the escape room game you play. If your group doesn’t grab all of the tickets for a particular time, you’ll join forces with other escape artists to round out the game. Remember, the more brains, the merrier!
3. I only want to play with my friends. What should I do?
Lots of people only want to play with their friends, family, or coworkers. So here’s what to do: our games are played in teams of 8, so find a game with 8 open spots and purchase all 8 of the tickets.
If you see fewer than 8 tickets available for a game, that means someone has already booked one or more spots in that game. So if you’re booking a group and don’t book all 8 tickets, you may wind up playing with others. But don’t worry, that just adds to the intrigue!
4. Are there age requirements?
Zero Hour Escape Rooms are open to those eight and older. Participants age 8-14 must be accompanied by an adult.
5. Am I seriously going to be locked in a room? Is it scary? Are there clowns? I hate clowns!
Every room has an exit button that will allow you to walk out of the experience. No shame in pressing the button, but that will be the end of the game for you. And don’t worry- if you and your team can’t escape in the allotted time, we are legally required to let you out of the room!
Zero Hour Escape Rooms are not scary! The lights are on, you won’t be claustrophobic, and there are no clowns – promise!
6. Do I need any prior puzzle-solving experience?
Not at all! You just need to be prepared to look high and low, think outside the box, and work as a team. Clues are everywhere!
7. I have a few questions not listed here, who should I call?
Give us a call if you have any questions or concerns about booking, our rooms, special accommodations…or anything else! We can be reached at 218-606-1139, or you can email us at duluth@zerohourescaperooms.com
