Escape room FAQ - frequently asked questions

• Escape room - what is it?

  An escape room is a form of entertainment that requires team play from the participants. The task for the players is to solve all riddles and puzzles together in a specific time (usually between 60 and 90 minutes) in a room specially prepared for this purpose. Escape rooms have different difficulty levels - from games for beginners to those with an advanced level. Each room is a different story embedded in a specific thematic category, among which you can distinguish horror, thriller, adventure, historical, children's, and others.

• What categories can I choose?

  Currently, on Lockme you can choose rooms in nine categories. Abstract rooms are most often related to the subject of magic, games, numbers, shapes, colors or forms. Adventure rooms are nothing more than scenarios in which one can - as the name suggests - experience an adventure. Crime rooms are most often about crime investigation, collecting evidence and solving a criminal mystery. Fantasy is for RPG, fable and fantasy fans. Rooms from "for children" category are fully adapted to the needs of the youngest ones. Historical rooms offer a plot set in a specific historical period and are very often based on facts, so they can be a great way to learn through play. Horror rooms will be best for the ones who like to get scared. Thriller is for everyone that likes to feel chills throughout the game. In narrative rooms, the players will play specific characters and become part of the plot.
• Can I go to an escape room with a child?

  There are rooms that allow entering wit kids, or even have plots prepared specifically for children. If you would like to come with a minor, you can filter the room list by checking the "children-friendly room" mark. If you're looking for a room with a plot and difficulty created specifically for children, select "for children" category.
• Are we being monitored in the room?

  Yes - the game master is watching and listening to you throughout the game and makes sure you're safe and having fun. In case of any problem, you can call him, and ask for help. You're safe during the game.
• What if we don't finish the game within the given time?

  If there's not much game left to finish, and no one booked the room after you, the staff may let you finish the game. If there's no time, the staff will most likely explain to you how to solve the remaining puzzles.
