Yes and no. At our Live Escape Room San Jose, located next to the Santa Clara Univeristy, you will be metaphorically locked in a mysterious room, but for safety reasons the door is accessible all throughout the game if you need to leave. However, once you leave the room the game is over.
Any escape room will be made private when a minimum of 6 tickets are purchased. If you arrive on the day of the event with more players, you can purchase additional tickets up to the room capacity. Please check your room capacity prior to reserving the private room. Everyone requires a ticket to enter the game.
Yes, the live escape room is open to anyone to book and to enjoy the experience with other players. Strangers upon entry will not feel that way once the game begins.
You and your team work together to find clues, solve puzzles, and crack codes in an effort to unlock the door and escape in the time allotted. If you have not found the key and escaped the room in the time allotted, the game will end and the door will be unlocked.
