What is an Escape Room?
It is a special room that has hidden keys, lockboxes, safes, locks, and clues in it.
What is an Escape Room game?
It is a timed, thrilling "brain-game" scenario where kids to exercise their critical thinking muscles, work as a team, and unlock lots of different devices in order to reach a common goal (escaping the room).
What should I expect when I arrive?
When guests arrive, they are given a brief explanation about how to play, what types of locks are used, keys to succeeding, pitfalls to avoid, off-limits areas, and then a video is shown that sets the scene for their challenge.
They then enter the room, the timer starts, the glass door to the room is shut and locked, and the kids have 45 minutes to solve a series of challenges.
When they finally escape the room, we give parents an opportunity to take a group photo with our various signs and props.
What makes this uniquely just for kids?
We are parents who have run summer camps, classes, and parties for kids for many years and we know how kids think! Kids are super clever, but they aren't quite ready for the level of complexity and subtlety that adult escape rooms require. That is why we always have a Game Master in the room to help the kids find the solutions they are looking for. We never simply hand them all the answers, but we do carefully ensure that they are always a success in the end. It takes skill to pose just the right questions to kids so they can achieve that "eureka" moment!
We also have the room designed to prevent one kid from taking over and hogging all the glory. It's our trade secret and we are quite proud of how well it works. We don't want a kid leaving the room saying they didn't get to unlock something.
Safety and nerves is another issue with kids that we try to tackle with grace. We include a bathroom in the escape room so they don't have to worry about having to go and the escape room door is glass so we can ease any anxiety a kid might have about being in a locked room.
Additionally, there is a webcam in the room that casts to a TV in the waiting area, so parents can watch their kid's progress in the room.
