What is an escape game or room?
You and your companions are imprisoned, and you have 60 minutes to either escape or complete the challenge. This is certainly a unique and interactive entertainment game. You must figure out a way out using your wits, as well as the resources and hints offered to you throughout. This is exactly what you've been looking for if you've ever fantasized about solving a mystery or defusing a bomb — without any of the risks involved in actually doing any of those things.
How much does it cost?
We offer tickets for various sized groups. A ticket can be purchased for 2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-10, 11-15, or 16-20 individuals. The cost varies depending on the size of the group. When you pay $200 for a ticket good for 10 individuals, you are purchasing a ticket for 10 people. ($20 for each person)
Will there be other guests playing the game with me?
Without a doubt, no.
No stranger groups will be present at your game; all games are private.
How much time do I have to finish the game?
To finish the challenge and make your getaway, you have exactly 60 minutes.
How far in advance of my appointed time should I show up?

Is there a minimum age requirement to attend?
There is no age restriction and no fee for children under the age of 7 (up to 2 kids). A parent or legal guardian must sign the safety waiver on behalf of a participant who is under the age of 18
How far in advance should I make a reservations?
Bookings may be made up to an hour before the game's start time and are possible at any time by anyone with access to our availability calendar.
We advise making reservations for the weekends at least a couple of weeks in advance because they tend to sell out more rapidly than weekdays. We advise booking one month in advance for reservations close to holidays.
Can we just walk in?
If there is no game and there is adequate time when you arrive, we allow walk-ins.
Is a waiver necessary?
Yes, a waiver needs to be signed before you may enter the space. Before the game, the waiver may be signed at any time.
The signature of a single parent or legal guardian shall apply to all of their children taking part in the activity or event.

You can get a refund if you cancel your game 48 hours before the start time. It is always possible to reschedule. You cannot cancel a rescheduled game for a refund.
What if there are more players than those who have reserved?
No issue. Just before the game, more players might be paid for.
What is the smallest and largest group size allowed?
We think we have the largest game area in the Midwest (perhaps in the entire USA), therefore large parties up to 20 individuals are not an issue. Please contact us if your group possesses more than that.
The bare minimum group size is two.
Do you offer food, beverages, or alcohol?
We are a family-friendly company, so alcoholic beverages are not sold or permitted within the facility. We don't cater events or serve meals.
How scary?
“House of Things”, is essentially a puzzle game with some spooky effects and actor participation. You can turn off all scary effects just before the game if you don't enjoy scary things.
