About the escape rooms
Are escape rooms scary?
No, our escape rooms are not scary. Of course, they are exciting and you might get scared. But our rooms are not designed to scare you. Aurum has bits that are a bit exciting. Read more about it on Aurum's page.
Can I play an escape room if I have been drinking?
Playing under the influence of alcohol or drugs is not permitted and would not be fair to your fellow players. Our game masters need to keep their full attention on the group, so it is not possible to wait elsewhere on the premises. Please note that full charges apply for players who arrive under the influence.
What do escape rooms cost?
With us, you pay a price per escape room. The price depends on the number of people you come to play with. The prices of our escape rooms are here.
Escape rooms for children
Do you have children's escape rooms?
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. For Mindcrime, Mindcrime Battle and Budapest Express we have a special children's version. And we watch along with a camera while playing, so we can give the kids a bit of guidance at the right time.
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.
Can we have a children's party at your place?
Yes, you can. You can book one or more escape rooms yourself. When booking, indicate that you will be escaping with children. We adapt our escape rooms so that they can be played by children. Read more about an escape room birthday party.
Do I have to be present as a parent when my children play escape room?
Yes, we ask parents to stay at our location. Are the children under 13 years old? Then a parent accompanies them in the escape room. This is fun for the children, but also for the parent. Then you get to see exactly what the children are doing and how much fun they are having.
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.
