Is it scary? and Do I really get locked in?
No!!!
While both locations offer a mystery/suspense feel with elaborate sets, none of the current games are designed to be scary and you don't actually get locked in for safety.

Please call or email us with your questions.


Does every group escape from the room in time?
No, but it is always fun! We want the rooms to be challenging. It is possible to escape from every room, however most do not escape in time. Each room experience varies in difficulty so some may be easier to escape than others. All room experiences require teamwork, leadership, and quick thinking to get out in time.

What if I have an emergency and can't make it at my assigned time or if I forget to come to a session? 
Please contact us and we will be happy to schedule you into another session if you have an unexpected issue. We do not offer refunds for these issues, but are happy to reschedule.

Is it hard to solve clues? What if I get stuck on a puzzle?
Escape The Estate is designed to be challenging with fun in mind! People of all skill levels enjoy this game. Staff members will be on hand to give hints.

What do I need to bring?
You don’t need to bring anything! Paper, pens and pencils will be provided. There will be a space to store bags and coats. We do encourage you to dress in layers when visiting our Frightmare site. Dress cool in the summer and warm in the fall/early spring

When should I arrive?
You MUST arrive 15 minutes before the start of your session
