FAQ
Why Vail Valley Escape Room?
Our escape room is fun for everyone – so bring your friends, dates, coworkers, families and neighbors. It’s a new entertainment venue, and a great change from the usual dinner, movie or bar scene. To win you have to work together – the race is against the clock, not each other. You may just learn things about your partner, friends and family you didn’t know before!
Am I really locked in a room?
The room does have a locked door to exit from but an emergency exit will always be available.
How long does an adventure last?
Each adventure is designed to last about 60 minutes but shorter times are up to the effectiveness of your group’s problem solving abilities.
Do we need any special skills or knowledge?
Nope! This escape game will give you an adrenaline rush, but it only requires the ability to observe, open your mind to creative thought and apply logic. Just remember, everything in the escape room is there for a reason (even if it is just a red herring!)
What should I bring?
The only thing you need is your brain, but a good sense of humor helps… Otherwise all materials will be provided.
How many people can be in a room?
We suggest at least 2, but are rooms are designed to fully accommodate up to 8 people for a truly immersive experience.
Will I be in a group with strangers?
If you do not book all available participant slots, then you may be grouped with strangers. However, a majority of the times we find that this enhances the experience.
Can I use my cell phone?
Phone use to assist with the game is prohibited, and using your phone for this purpose will disqualify you. Also, any video or photography of the Adventures will result in immediate removal without a refund. You may keep your phone but using it will take away from your experience.

- Use of any outside resources such as, but not limited to:

Are there clues?
Yes there are clues! But it’s important to investigate your entire environment thinking about your interactions with the setting.
Can I use the bathroom?
We ask that you use the restroom before the start of the game; arriving 10-15 minutes early should take care of this. However, if a participant signals the Game Master they will be allowed to leave for a restroom break as the game continues in their absence.
Are there age restrictions?
We do recommend our participants be at least 6 years old, but any groups with participants 17 and under will need to be accompanied by at least one responsible adult, 18 years of age or older.
