Book your escape exprience 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. 

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.  Most rooms can be booked for up to 10 people.  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.

Online booking is available daily from 10am to 9pm

Our building is on the 1st Avenue side of Lindale Mall property, across from McDonald's

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.

We customize our hints to accommodate players of all ages, so all rooms can be played by kids (a chaperone is required for children under 16).  

We also have a  “Junior” version available for Calamity Falls. 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.

Children under age 16 are required to have an adult chaperone. For groups of four or more youths, one chaperone will be admitted into the playing area for no charge.

Our rooms are ADA compliant. Should a member of your party require special accommodations, please call us at 319-535-2583 and let us know how we can ensure every member of your team has a fantastic experience.

The minimum charge is $500 for the first game. This fee includes set up, tear down and 2 hours of play. Additional hours are $150.  A second game can be added for $150/hr. Both rooms will be billed for the same length of time.
