An hour long room is $30 per person, while 15-minute rooms are $10 a person

It is strongly recommended that you reserve your game ahead of time, to ensure there will be a room available. We do take walk-ins on a first-come first-served basis, but we cannot guarantee that we can accommodate you without a reservation.

You can book your room online by pushing the “Book Now” button on our home page and following the prompts to select your room, date, and time. Most rooms require a 2 person admission to be paid as a non-refundable deposit. Road Trip '66 and Return to the Deep require a 4 person admission as a deposit (2 of these admissions are nonrefundable); these rooms play better with four or more people and can accommodate larger groups. We recommend booking in advance to ensure availability.

The sooner you book your room, the more options you will have. Rooms can be booked online up to two hours prior to game time.

We recommend 2-8 people per room. If you have 10 or more, it is advisable to divide into two groups and play two different rooms.

Yes. The best way to arrange this is to reserve the two rooms online for whatever times are closest to the actual time you wish to play. Then, call us at 319-535-2583 and let us know the exact time you wish to play, and we will set both rooms for that time.

Our building is open 10-8 Monday-Thursday, 10-9 Friday-Saturday, and 12-6 Sunday

We have 2 locations: Cedar Rapids on the 1st Avenue side of Lindale Mall, and Lisbon Main Street.

Every room has a variety of puzzles intended to appeal to a broad range of players. Clues and hints are customized for each group, so your game master will adapt the game for your team’s skill levels. Some rooms have a higher or lower success rate based on the amount of puzzles and how linear the game play might be, but none are intrinsically easier or more difficult.

Escape rooms are fun for anyone old enough to be a fluent reader.

A “Junior” version is available for Calamity Falls in Cedar Rapids, and for Road Trip ’66 in Lisbon. To play the junior version, simply book the room as usual, then call 319-535- 2583 and request the junior version of your game. The junior version is the same as the regular version, but with added prompts and hints to accommodate younger players.
