Question 3

DO YOU HAVE AN AGE LIMIT? CAN KIDS PLAY?

Accepted Answer

ANY participants aged 14 or younger MUST be accompanied by an adult player in each room booked.
 
The adult must be a paying participant if the group has 4 or fewer players, per room booked.

For groups with 5 or more players per room booked, the adult may not have to pay if they are only supervising. This only applies to a single adult player. if there are more than one adult players in the room, all adults will have to pay. If the adult is actively participating in the room, they will be charged for the experience.

We do not recommend the experience for children under the age of 10.

Suitability
We often get asked if the rooms are suitable for younger children, and while we have had children of all ages participate in the escape rooms and enjoy themselves, we have had others get scared and overwhelmed in the room. We cannot make any recommendations either way as the experience varies greatly from individual to individual. We encourage parents to look at the descriptions and photographs of the rooms which are found here (Curio,(https://www.escaperoomscanberra.com/curio) The Vault (https://www.escaperoomscanberra.com/the-vault)& The House on the Hill)(https://www.escaperoomscanberra.com/the-house-on-the-hill) before determining the suitability of the escape rooms.

Pricing For Kids
The price for the experience is the same for children as it is for adults. However, children five years old and under can play for free.

Question 4

IS THERE A BOOKING FEE? DO I HAVE TO PAY IT?

Accepted Answer

A booking fee of ~5.5% is charged at checkout when using our online booking portal. The full booking fee will be added in full to any payments you make toward your booking when using the online checkout.

If you do not wish to pay this fee, please call or email us to book your session.

Full payment is required when booking for bookings of less than $150.

Question 6

HOW LONG DOES IT USUALLY TAKE?

Accepted Answer

You will start with 60 minutes on the clock and will get an automatic 10 minutes of overtime.

We require groups to arrive a certain time before the starting time of your booking (your confirmation email will specify this). We also ask that you budget a bit of extra time for a team photo and a debrief at the end of your experience.

All-in-all, we recommend you budget at least an hour and a half from arriving to saying goodbye, unless you are using our bar Garden Party,(javascript:void(0)) then we recommend budgeting at least another hour on either side of your booking (depending on whether you are using the bar before or after your experience) to have a couple of drinks and wind down!

Question 7

WILL OTHER PEOPLE BE IN THE ROOM WITH ME?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not! Even if you only book for 2 participants, you will only be in the room with the participants in your booking.

Question 8

WHAT SHOULD I BRING?

Accepted Answer

Make sure to bring reading glasses if your eye sight isn't 100%. Other than that, a water bottle is a good idea (don't overdo it, you are locked in a room). We do allow mobile phones in the rooms, however we do not allow photography or recording of any kind. No food or drinks other than water are permitted inside the room.

Question 9

IS IT SAFE?

Accepted Answer

You're never actually locked in the rooms and can leave whenever you feel unsafe or uncomfortable. All staff are trained thoroughly in emergency procedures. If you would like to see any of our certifications, please don't hesitate to ask! We have undergone numerous regulation tests to keep up to date with ACT and Australian laws. Each room is fitted out with smoke detectors, emergency lighting and exit signage. The building is fitted with fire safety equipment and carbon monoxide sensors.

Question 10

IS IT SCARY?

Accepted Answer

An escape room is an inherently stressful situation. There is always the factor of racing against the clock that brings adrenaline, and in each of our rooms, things will happen that you will not anticipate. While you are never trapped in a room without an escape, we do not recommend our rooms for people prone to claustrophobia or panic attacks.
 
Because we cannot know the limits of an individual, we encourage you to know your own limits or to come out to the shop beforehand to have a look inside our rooms and see for yourself if you will be able to handle it.
​
We can make the rooms a touch less scary, but this needs to be arranged before the day of your booking.

Children 16 years old or younger are not permitted to be alone outside the rooms, so if they do need to leave the room because it is too scary, a parent or guardian must stay with them at all times.

Question 11

WHAT IF I'M COLOURBLIND?

Accepted Answer

A lot of the puzzles in our escape rooms are based on, or rely upon colour in their logic. While this is not every puzzle, there is a fair amount of puzzles in each room that will rely on colour to be solved.

Question 12

ARE THE ROOMS AND VENUE WHEELCHAIR ACCESSiBLE?

Accepted Answer

Our rooms are all wheelchair accessible, however, due to size constraints and a few other factors, some rooms are easier than others to navigate in a wheelchair. We recommend The Vault or Curio rooms first for wheelchair accessibility, then the House on the Hill, however since it is on a raised floor there is a small step to get in and another small step to get into another room. The entrance to the store has a slight step, so when you arrive please notify us and we will set up our portable ramp.

To make your experience as seamless as possible, we ask that you contact us before booking to confirm wheelchair dimensions and arrival times so we can confirm everything for your experience.

Question 13

I HAVE DONE ALL OF YOUR ROOMS, WHAT DO I DO NOW?

Accepted Answer

If you have done both of our rooms and are craving another, we recommend checking out the Riddle Room (http://www.riddleroom.com.au)or Missing Klues (https://missingklues.com.au)for other excellent escape room experiences in Canberra.

Question 14

CANCELLATION POLICY

Accepted Answer

For bookings that have been paid in full, cancellations that void this policy will forfeit the cost equivalent to Two Players per room booked for your experience.

Arriving any later than 10 minutes after the starting time of your booking will void your booking entirely, and the minimum payment amount or deposit for your booking will be charged.

Bookings cancelled within two hours of being made will be eligible for a refund.

Payments made with a gift card or vouchers will also be subject to this cancellation fee and will be charged to the same value if the cancellation policy is voided.

Please note that all cancellations and changes must be confirmed to be deemed valid. You will receive a confirmation email when your booking has been cancelled or changed.
