FAQs
How long do we get in the escape room?

Will I be sharing a room with strangers?
No, Red Lock rooms are all booked as private rooms, therefore whether you book as a group of 2 or 6, you will always have the room to yourself.
Is the door really locked?
The room escape games real life setting is completely immersive once you’re inside. However, for the safety and enjoyment of all players, a participant may exit a live room escape game at any time. Keep in mind, if a player exits, the timer will not be paused.
What should I bring with me?
Your inner Sherlock Holmes! The answers to the clues, riddles and puzzles are all in the room, but you will be looking for clues, working with your team mates, and applying logic reasoning to escape.
