Frequently asked questions

What age can kids do an escape room?

It varies by operator. Some have rooms built for kids as young as 6 (60out's family rooms, Cross Roads' Fun House), while most recommend around 8–13+ with an adult. Several national brands (The Escape Game, Escapology) welcome anyone 14 and under with an accompanying adult. Each listing notes the recommended minimum age.

Are escape rooms good for teens and birthday parties?

Yes — escape rooms are a perfect teen and tween activity and a popular birthday option, since they're collaborative and indoors (great for hot or rainy days). Book a private room for your group, and check the operator's minimum age and group size. Reserve in advance, especially on weekends.
