Can I play an escape room with a drink on?
Playing our escape rooms under the influence of drink or drugs is not allowed (nor is it fun for your fellow players). As our guides need to keep their attention with the group, it is also not possible to stay elsewhere in the premises. All charges must also be paid for players under the influence.

Yes, escape room Time machine is specially designed for children. A supervisor from us is present in this escape room to help the children if they get stuck.

From what age are your escape rooms?
Children as young as 9 years old can play our escape rooms at a birthday party. For children under 13, a parent accompanies them in the room. If you want to play as a family with children under 9, that is also possible. We will then adjust the light and sound effects for you.

As a parent, can I also participate?
You certainly can (and we heartily recommend it!). It's great fun to take part because you are part of the experience yourself. We dare to predict in advance that it will also be challenging enough for most parents... If you want to join, you can add yourself as an adult to the booking.
Do I have to pay if I join the escape room as a companion?
No, do you accompany children while playing the escape room? Then you can enter the escape room for free.
