FAQ
Q: What are mobile units? ↓
Our Mobile units are 30-foot trailers split into two escape rooms each. We currently have two mobile units, each of which has two rooms:
- Tomb of the Pharaoh and Sunken Submarine
- Runaway Train and The Portal
Q: What are Tabletop games? ↓
Our tabletop games are large-scale escape room-style props set up on a table, holding clues and mysteries to challenge even the sharpest minds. Often the objective is to open or unlock a compartment, hatch, or lid requiring several steps and smaller challenges. We currently offer two different experiences:
- Secret of Sparta - Watch video
- Time Machine - Watch video
Q: How much does it cost? ↓
For the mobile units: $395 for up to 1 hour of escape time (Max of 24 participants). The runtime usually is approximately 1.25-1.5 hours long to account for instruction and resetting rooms.
$650 for up to 2 hours of escape time (Max of 48 participants). The runtime usually is approximately 2.25-2.5 hours long to account for instruction and resetting rooms between groups. If you require more than 1-2 hours, please contact us for more pricing information.
For the table tops: $395 for up to 1 hour, and $650 for up to 2 hours. For rentals longer than 2 hours, please contact us for more pricing information.
Q: How long does it take to do each room / tabletop game? ↓
For the Rooms: 15 to 30-minute escape times per room, dictated by the length of booking and number of participants:
- 12 participants: 30-minute version of both rooms, swapping after the first group finishes.
- 13-18 participants: 20-minute version of both rooms, with teams rotating.
- 19-24 participants: 15-minute version of both rooms, with more frequent rotations.
For Table Tops: Length and difficulty are adaptable for 10-30 minute escape times depending on group size and booking duration.
Q: How difficult are the rooms/tabletops, and can my child solve them? ↓
The difficulty level of each room is adapted to be an appropriate challenge for anyone from ages 6+ to seasoned escape room experts. We adjust the room difficulty based on the participants.
Q: How many can play a room at once? ↓
A maximum of 6 participants per room/tabletop, or 12 participants per mobile unit, can play simultaneously.
Q: How much space do I need for the mobile unit? ↓
We need 70-80 feet of space to park the truck and trailer on relatively flat ground. Typically, parking on the street in front of a house works best. For corporate/school events, a parking lot with 7-8 stalls is required.
Q: How much space do I need for the table top? ↓
Our footprint is usually 10'x10', and we need at least a 2'x6' table to run it on (we can bring the table—mention this in your booking email). We also need an electrical outlet.
Q: I live outside of Calgary. Do I have to pay extra? ↓
For locations outside city limits, a travel fee applies: $1.50/km traveled outside Calgary City Limits.
Q: It's cold outside. Are the rooms heated? ↓
Our rooms are heated by a 40,000 BTU furnace, ensuring warmth down to -30°C. When temperatures are below -30°C, bookings are canceled for safety. Between -15°C and -30°C, the floor may still be cold, so warm footwear is recommended.
