Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Escape Room?

It is the next generation in immersive storytelling and team "sports." Started in Japan in 2007, Escape Rooms have rapidly spread across the globe. Appealing to puzzle lovers, adrenaline junkies, cosplay enthusiasts,  intellectuals, and parents who just want to get their kids away from screens for an hour, Escape Rooms are an entertainment destination for team building and fun. 

An Escape Room is a heart-pounding, brain-challenging, real life adventure. Groups of friends and families are given a mission based on the room of their choice. They must find clues and complete a series of theme-based mental challenges within 60 minutes, or their mission has failed. Depending on the theme of the room, this could mean they need to work together to escape a prison cell, catch a bad guy, save a life, find a treasure, travel to another planet…the options are limitless.

Are the Escape Rooms Private?

Yes - All our Escape Rooms are reserved by the hour for single groups. Escapes are priced per person with a minimum charge.

Are the Escape Rooms Safe?

Of course. Our clients' safety is our number one priority, so you are never actually locked in the room and every room is observed by a Game Master the entire time.

Is there an age requirement for your Escape Rooms?

We have designed our rooms to be family friendly and enjoyable for all ages- with adult supervision. If any member of your party is 15 years of age or under, there must be at least one adult present.

Can I take pictures, record, or live-stream Break From Reality Escape Rooms?

NO. It is important that each room's secrets remain a secret for the enjoyment of all our players. This means NO SPOILERS. We will happily take a group photo for you after your game.

What if I am late for the start of my game?

Please try to arrive 15 minutes before your game begins. This allows you time to check-in, ask any questions, and start your game on time. If you arrive later than the start time we will do our best to accommodate you, but there are no guarantees. If you start your game late, the time will be deducted from your 60 minutes.

What is your cancellation policy?

All bookings and games are non-refundable. However, with proper notice, you may be able to reschedule your game without penalty.

Can I bring more people along even though I already registered?

Absolutely! You will be charged for the extra players before your game begins.

Is there anything scary inside?

While our rooms are designed to be immersive and exciting, there are no items designed to be deliberately scary.
