FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
PLEASE CHECK THE FAQS BEFORE GETTING IN CONTACT!
- 01
A large group booking is for groups that are larger than what we can fit in a room at any given time (7 or more people). This extends to anything from work events to birthday parties to hen's and buck's nights or maybe you're just really popular. We schedule the rooms to start simultaneously, so everybody gets in and (hopefully) out at the same time. A group size of 8 to 14 players will be able to choose any two of our rooms to participate in, and a group size of 15+ will be allocated to all three of our rooms. Please get in touch if you would like to book a Double or Triple room for different sizes than are allowed on our website.

You can book a group booking through our online booking portal using the Double Booking or Triple Booking feature.

We can run a group with a maximum of 21 participants per session in our three escape rooms. If you have a group of more than 21 participants, we recommend you give us a call to discuss how your booking will work. Once we exceed 21 participants, your booking will be tailored to your individual group. Usually, this will include running two back-to-back sessions, which will start around an hour and a half apart. While the first session will complete our three rooms, the second session will be able to use our cocktail bar and function area, Garden Party. The two groups will then switch, with some time in between, to share some food or drinks. For groups that are even larger than what we can fit between two sessions, we can run more back-to-back sessions. The capacity at the bar, which cannot accommodate more than 30 guests at one time.

We do not have a booking fee for exclusive or out-of-hours hire of our bar, Garden Party, but we do require a $200 minimum spend on a bar tab. If a minimum spend has been paid, it will reserve the bar privately for your group for two hours after the ending time of your booking. If you would like to hire the bar for longer, a subsequent minimum spending of $300 every two hours will be required. All minimum spends must be arranged and paid for before the booking and are subject to our cancellation policy.
