It’s a challenging game and many get close but do not get out in time. At the end of 60 minutes, the moderator will unlock the room. You can ask questions. We ask that you do not reveal the answers to others that have not participated. Once your time is up, your moderator will walk your team through the rest of the clues and puzzles.

You are welcome to do the room more than once, but the puzzles will only change if the room theme is changed. And we don’t want you spoiling the puzzle-solving fun for others on your team that might be doing it for the first time.

Plan to spend about 90 minutes at Escape Now. This includes a 15-minute introduction. You’ll have up to 60 minutes to attempt to escape from the room. This will leave some time afterward for fun photos.

You only need to bring your best wits and puzzle-solving ability. All items needed for solving the puzzles will be included in the room. Wear anything you are comfortable in, but the most activity you will be engaging in may be squatting down or getting on your knees to look under or to get a closer look at something. If you wear reading glasses, it might be advisable to bring them.

These are live-action events. You must arrive on time in order to participate. We cannot wait for latecomers. The door to the room locks at exactly the time you signed up for. Leave ample time to allow for traffic and parking. If you arrive after the door to the room has been locked, you will not be allowed to participate. There are no refunds or exchanges for participants who arrive past their booking time.

Our address is 13243 Jones Rd, Houston, TX 77070. We are in the Cy-Fair Plaza Shopping Center across the street from Mazke Park. Occasionally, there may not be any parking in front of the building.

Follow the rules. Our staff will review the rules of the game with you before you begin, which include:

• There is no need to lift or move heavy objects.
• Never use force to try to open locked items.
• Cell phones and other electronic devices must remain off and cannot be used inside the room.
• There are no clues hidden in any electrical outlets.
• You do not need to climb on anything to get clues.
• Do not guess combinations! Combinations have meanings from the game that need to be figured out.
• Keep the games a mystery! Please do not reveal clues or answers to others.

The surest way to escape is by communicating openly with everyone else in the room. Share clues you’ve uncovered. Work together to make connections. If you discover new information, be sure everyone in the room knows about it.
