FAQ
Escape rooms can vary in terms of their level of scariness. While some of our escape rooms, such as our Adbucted Escape Room, are designed to create a thrilling and suspenseful atmosphere, there are other games such as our Wizards of Time adventure, that just act as an exploration into a different world! Themes and settings may include elements of mystery, suspense, or mild horror, but the focus is more on puzzle-solving and teamwork rather than creating a truly frightening experience. It’s advisable to check the description and reviews of an escape room beforehand to gauge its level of scariness if you have concerns about that aspect.
