FAQ
What is an Escape Room?
Ryptic Room Escape is a real life, puzzle solving game. You and your team will actually be “locked” in a room! We love hosting team-building activities, birthday parties, date night, family night, or just another Friday night out!
You will have one hour to find clues, solve puzzles and discover the codes, passwords and keys that allow you to unlock the door and escape!How do I book a game if there are "teams" listed?
For “Escape The Asylum” and “Escape The Mad Hatter” games, the room is split into four rooms and the game will take you across all four rooms. Each room is occupied by one team at a time (team A, B, C, or D) with a max capacity of 6 people (we are able to increase this max capacity a little if all the tickets are purchased under one booking). Teams do not interact with each other as they occupy a different room at any given time, and they swap rooms over the course of the game. To make a booking, select a team and the number of tickets you would like to purchase in that team. Please note that if you purchase less than 6 tickets, there is a possibility that the remaining tickets will be purchased by other players who will join your team
Can we have a private game? I want to play with just my friends/coworkers.
To have a private game experience you will need to purchase all tickets available for that game. There are two ways to do this: You can either purchase all the tickets available in the team that you want to play in with your friends, this ensures that nobody else can join your team. Or to book the whole escape room, you can purchase all tickets available across all four teams, this blocks off the entire room just for you. If you’re looking to reserve the whole escape room you can book online, or contact us and we'll take care of it for you.
Will I actually be locked in! What if I need to use the bathroom?
All our games have emergency exits – you will never truly be locked in (that would be dangerous!). However, if you exit the room before time is up, you will not be allowed back in- this would be disruptive to your fellow teammates. Please use the bathroom before starting your game.
What is the cancellation policy?
Please arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled time and please do not be late! In order to avoid ruining the experience for other players, we will not allow late entrants. Your game will be cancelled without refund if you are late.
Ryptic Room Escape accepts cancellations and reschedules. Refunds or store credit amounts available are dependent on the notice provided prior to reservation start time:
* 5+ days notice: Full refund – minus the 6% booking fee.* 3+ days notice: Full store credit including booking fee / free reschedule.* 24h+ notice: 50% store credit.* Less than 24 hours notice: No refund or store credit.
Tickets are not person specific, however they are transferable to another person. Just forward them your booking confirmation email.
All bookings made with a deposit are 100% payable 5 days prior to start of the game.Is Ryptic Room Escape physically exerting? Is it wheelchair accessible? Is it scary?
Our games require very little physical exertion. There is no running, climbing, jumping or crawling required. We exercise your brain, not your body! We try our best to make our games fully handicap and wheelchair accessible, but are always open to feedback! (as of now only Escape from the Mad Hatter and Sherlock Inc. are wheelchair accessible) Our games are meant to be silly, not scary.
How hard are your games? Can kids/grandparents play?
Our puzzles are meant to be challenging but solvable for all ages 13 and up. Participants under 18 must have a guardian sign the waiver which will be emailed to you as a part of your email confirmation.
For All games children ages 6 to 13 must have an adult chaperone present in the room to play.
Children under 6 years of age are not allowed in any game, for their own safety.
Children under 13 years of age are not allowed in the Escape the Asylum Game.
Children under 10 years of age are not allowed in the SHERLOCK Inc Game (this game is recommended for ages 14+)Our team is bigger than your player limit, what should we do?
We often have teams split up and play different games at the same time. Try booking one room for each of our games!
Can I book a specific date in advance?
Of course! Just click the “Following Dates” button in the ticket booking widget. You can book up to 6 months in advance.
Do you sell tickets at the door? Can I show up with an extra friend/teammate?
Unfortunately no. Our room limits are based on the size and content limits of the rooms themselves. The only exception is if you’re already having private game (you purchased all the tickets), we will permit you to purchase an additional ticket, with the understanding that it will be a little crowded!
