ARE WE REALLY LOCKED IN THE ROOM?

Each of our escape experiences provides a means to escape prior to completing the tasks within the room. We encourage users to try their best not to abandon their teammates during their hour of need, but we understand, life happens!

IS THERE AN AGE LIMIT?

We strongly recommend ages 10 and up for active participation in our escape games; however, players of all ages are welcome at our facility.

WHEN SHOULD MY GROUP ARRIVE?

Please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the start of your game, but no more than 20! We want to allow ample time for members of your group to use the facilities, get acquainted with the locks they’ll be seeing in the room, receive a briefing on their objective, and then the fun begins!

WHAT SHOULD WE BRING WITH US?

If you use reading glasses, bring them along; otherwise, all you will need is your wits! No outside resources can be used during your game, everything you need will be provided to you!

HOW LONG IS AN ESCAPE EXPERIENCE?

Each experience can last for up to 60 minutes; however, plan on arriving 15 minutes beforehand and staying an upwards of 15 minutes more after your experience has concluded, totaling about 90 minutes on our premises.

WILL I BE PLAYING WITH STRANGERS?

No, due to COVID-19, all of our escape experiences have been privatized. Once you book a room, it’s yours and yours alone!

ARE YOUR EXPERIENCES HANDICAP ACCESSIBLE?

Currently at our new location, all of our escape experiences are accessible exclusively by stairs.

While some clues are hidden and involve crouching, there is no climbing. Most clues involve observing and making connections.

SERVICE ANIMALS: Please email us at info@escaperoomlancaster.com or call us at (717) 208-6288 to book if you will be bringing a service animal so that we can ensure that we are prepared to accommodate you.

WHICH ROOM IS BEST SUITED FOR MY GROUP?

None of our escape experiences require knowledge of the theme in order to escape. While Atlantis has the highest success rate of our rooms, it is not an “easy” room for adults to breeze through. Escape the 80’s has been conquered by those born after 1990 and Dino Lab has been conquered by those born after 65,000,000,000 BC. The only thing that may influence your group’s decision is the aesthetic and the difficulty. None of our rooms are scary, and they all offer something unique to experience!

DO THE ROOMS HAVE UNIQUE DIFFICULTY RATINGS?

Atlantis: 85% Success Rate
Dino Lab: 55% Success Rate
Escape the 80’s: 45% Success Rate
