Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the recommended ages?
Our games are designed to be at the same level of difficulty as an average escape room. Therefore, we recommend these games for ages 10+. Younger players have enjoyed playing with the help of adults, but the games are meant to be tricky.
- How many people can play?
We designed the game for 1-6 players (or as many as can comfortably sit around a small table. Our game runs itself, so it is perfect for SOLO players. If you are looking for a game for more than 6 players, we recommend buying 2 crates and racing against each other from different rooms to see who escapes first.
- Do I need to play games in order?
No. Each game is a complete adventure with a beginning, middle, and an end. Therefore, you don't need to play any games in order. Games were originally released in a series and they do have small connections within a larger story if you do decide to play them in number order, but it certainly is not needed.
- How long will it take me to play?
Most of our games take around 2 hours to complete. Most games are divided into smaller (hour long) chapters so you can split the game up into smaller sittings if you would rather.
