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.
