Frequently Asked Questions

How do escape rooms work?

Escape rooms are immersive experiences where participants are kept (we DO NOT lock you in) in a themed room and must collaboratively solve a series of puzzles to “escape” within a designated time frame. These puzzles can range from logic problems, to deciphering codes, or finding hidden objects. Successful escape often requires effective communication, teamwork, and a keen eye for details. This makes escape rooms perfect for corporate and team-building activities!

What’s the typical duration of an escape room game?

At Dimensions Escape Rooms, games typically last around 60 minutes. This time frame is chosen to provide a challenging yet achievable goal for participants. However, the exact duration can vary depending on the complexity of the puzzles and the design of the room.

Are escape rooms suitable for all ages?

At Dimensions Escape Rooms, we strive to make all of our rooms family-friendly. While escape rooms are designed to be enjoyed by various age groups, it’s crucial to consider the specific theme and content of each room. Some themes may be more suitable for older participants due to their complexity or potentially suspenseful elements. If you have any questions, always feel free to reach out and ask one of our team members!

How many people should be in an escape room team?

The ideal team size for an escape room varies, but we typically suggest a range between 4-6 people. Having a diverse group with different skills and perspectives can enhance problem-solving and make the experience more enjoyable. Larger groups may find it challenging for everyone to actively participate, while smaller groups might need to work more efficiently.

Are escape rooms scary?

Escape rooms are not inherently designed to be scary, but the level of fear can vary based on the theme. While some rooms may have suspenseful elements or mysterious atmospheres, they are generally not intended to be frightening or horror-inducing. It’s advisable to choose a theme that aligns with the comfort level of the participants. If you have any questions, always feel free to reach out and ask one of our team members!

Can you give me tips for solving escape room puzzles?

Effective communication is key in escape rooms.

Share information, and work together to explore the room thoroughly. Pay attention to details, as even the smallest clues can be crucial. Don’t hesitate to ask for hints (in fact, we give an unlimited amount!), and be open to trying different approaches to solving puzzles.

What happens if we can’t solve the puzzles in time?

If your group can’t solve all the puzzles within the designated time, the game master will open up the door and help you obtain understanding to any questions you may have.

Are escape rooms only for groups, or can I go alone?

Our escape rooms are designed for group settings, however, we have had experienced escapers enjoy their own solo adventure!

The collaborative nature of escape rooms makes them especially enjoyable in a group setting. Going alone may present additional challenges, but it can be a unique and rewarding experience.

Are there different themes for escape rooms?

Escape rooms come in a wide variety of themes, catering to different interests and preferences. Themes can range from historical settings and adventure scenarios to science fiction, horror, or mystery. Choosing a theme that aligns with the group’s interests will enhance the overall experience.
