Basic game information
WHAT IS AN ESCAPE GAME OR ESCAPE ROOM?
An escape room or escape game is a unique experience for small teams. You have limited time to solve a series of logic puzzles to complete your mission or to be able to exit the room. Our game masters provide you with a special story and a mission that creates a truly immersive experience and they also provide you with hints during the game if you run out of ideas. This new form of entertainment is fun for everyone who wants to put themselves to the test and is suitable for all ages between 14-99.
WHO IS IT FOR?
It's for anyone open to new, innovative forms of entertainment and excited about taking on new challenges! At Exit the Room the fun is guaranteed! Friends, families, colleagues and groups of students all equally have a great time in our escape rooms!
WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM TEAM SIZE? WHAT IS THE IDEAL TEAM SIZE?
The minimum is 2 people and the maximum is usually 5 or 6, but it is based on room size and it differs in every city. You will be able to check the maximum allowed team size when selecting a room and a ticket during the online booking process. We recommend that you try and assemble a team of 5 or 6 people to maximize the fun and to get the best value.
Also keep in mind, that the fewer you are, the harder it gets to solve the puzzles and to get out in time.
WE ARE MORE THAN THE ROOMS MAXIMUM CAPACITY. CAN YOU MAKE AN EXCEPTION IN THIS CASE?
Our room capacities are calculated based on the room sizes in order to maximize fun and to keep things safe. We suggest, that in case your team is over the limit you play in two different rooms at the same time to get the most out of this unique experience.
WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AGE REQUIREMENT?
The minimum age requirement to play at Exit the Room is 14 years. Players below 14 years of age can play too, but only with parental supervision.
I WOULD LIKE TO BRING KIDS WITH ME. WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDED MINIMUM AGE?
We can only allow children above 14 to play without parental supervision, but you can bring younger children with you. Although please keep in mind, that our games have complex puzzles and children under 10 might not enjoy them.

CAN WE COME OUTSIDE OPENING HOURS?
If you plan to book more than one game during the same time slot or if you would like to make reservations for a teambuilding event we can make that happen, but this requires some planning in advance. Please get in touch with us on our teambuilding page here.
ARE THE GAMES SCARY?
No, not at all! Our goal is to create an awesome and fun experience for all ages. You enter the room, the clock starts ticking and you get lost in your imagination. You start solving puzzles in order to be able to complete your mission or escape the room.
The Zombies and stuff won't bite :)

HOW DOES IT WORK?
The live-avatar online escape room gives you the opportunity to try the new generation of escape games - without leaving your home. The Live-Avatar Online Escape Room brings you and your friends an unlimited experience of getting together without violating the social distancing principles. Connect online and you will immediately find yourself in the escape room of your choice. We will have a game master on site who will act as your eyes and ears, she/he will follow precisely your instructions to walk around the escape room and with the help of a webcam, you will see exactly the same settings as her/him. Find clues, figure out the connections and solve the puzzles. You will need a strong team and members will join the game online to work together as a team to face the challenges of the escape room. Get ready for the unexpected and experience this fun adventure!
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO PLAY THE GAME ONLINE?
To play the game, you will need first of all good Internet connection, as well as a device with a camera and microphone (this can be a PC, laptop, tablet or smartphone).
- The game will be activated by the game master about 10 minutes before the start, after this you can log in
- Best to use a headset so that you and your teammates are not distracted by external sounds
- The game can also be played on a phone, but a PC or laptop provides a better experience thanks to the larger screen
- If you have several types of internet at home (wifi / 4g / cable) be sure to use the best quality for the game, as the streaming means a lot of data traffic
HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN PLAY AT THE SAME TIME?
The ideal number of players is 2-6 people.
WHAT KIND OF INTERNET DO I NEED FOR THE PLAY?
The faster the better. With a connection that allows uninterrupted video chatting, the game will also run smoothly. Due to the high data traffic, it is worth connecting through wifi rather than mobilnet.

Yes. Your own webcam only there to broadcast you to the other players during the game. It's easier to communicate with, but you can enjoy the game without it.
CAN MORE PEOPLE PLAY ON ONE EQUIPMENT OR PHONE?
