FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
From how it works to who can play, find answers to the most common questions before you plan your next adventure.

How does an escape room work?
Players enter a themed room filled with clues, puzzles, and challenges. The goal is to work as a team to solve everything and “escape” before time runs out. Rooms are immersive and engaging, but never locked. First-timers are always welcome.

Is previous experience required?
Not at all. Escape rooms are designed for all skill levels. Game Masters provide instructions beforehand and are available for hints during the game. First-timers will feel right at home.

Are players locked in the room?
No. Players are never actually locked in. The entry door remains open and accessible at all times for the safety and comfort of all visitors.

Are escape rooms claustrophobic?
Rooms are spacious, well-lit, and designed to be fun, not fear-inducing. There are no tight spaces, and players can leave at any time. The focus is on puzzles and teamwork, not feeling trapped.

Are escape rooms scary?
Most rooms are designed to be exciting, not frightening. Any rooms with spooky or suspenseful elements are clearly labeled, so players can choose the right experience for their group.

Can kids play escape rooms?
Yes! Escape Room LoCo is family-friendly. Special kid clues are available for children aged 14 and under to help younger players participate with confidence. Children aged 12 and under must have an adult present in the room (some escapes require an adult for children under 15). Escape rooms offer a great way to build teamwork and problem-solving skills.

How many people can play?
Most rooms accommodate 2-8 players, though four or more is often ideal for the whole experience. Larger groups can be split across multiple rooms with simultaneous start times. Escape rooms are great for families, date nights, birthdays, and team events.

How long does an escape room take?
Each game lasts 60 minutes. Guests are encouraged to arrive 15 minutes early for check-in and instructions, and to stay afterward for group photos and celebration.

What happens if we don’t escape in time?
No problem! If your team doesn’t solve the room in time, your Game Master will walk you through the final clues and explain how it all fits together.

Do players need to be geniuses to succeed?
No genius required! Success comes from teamwork, communication, and creative thinking. Great teams include a variety of strengths and personalities.

Which escape room should players choose?
It depends on personality; players can choose a room based on what excites them most.

• Strategists enjoy logic-based puzzles and patterns
• Explorers prefer hidden objects and surprises
• Competitors thrive in high-intensity challenges with lower success rates

Will we be placed with strangers?
No. All experiences at Escape Room LoCo are private, meaning your group has the room to yourselves.

Do we need a reservation, or can we walk in?
Reservations are highly recommended to ensure availability, especially on weekends and holidays. Walk-ins are welcome when space allows, but booking ahead guarantees your spot.
