The door locks. The clock starts. And for the next hour, your child and their friends aren't just playing a game — they're the heroes of their own story, racing to crack codes, uncover secrets, and save the day as a team. No screens, no sitting still. Just real teamwork, real excitement, and a few happy shrieks along the way.
A game master watches over every room and provides hints if anyone gets stuck — but their hands are full running the story, so they can't double as a chaperone or a babysitter. A parent or other responsible adult needs to stay with the group for the game time.
Then… the Celebration

Mission complete. Heroes get hungry. Your team heads just steps away to their own party space — comfortably seats around 12–14 people total, kids and adults together — for cake, singing, and presents. It's yours for as long as you booked it, so there's no rush to pack up and go.
Party Packages
Pick Your Adventure
Every adventure starts the same way: a 60-minute mission ranging from approximately 6 to 14 kids, depending on which escape room (or rooms) you choose — bigger groups can play across 2 rooms at once. From there, build your celebration the way you like in your own party space. Game booking is priced separately based on your room and group size — the prices below show what's added on top for the party space and any extras.

Keeping It Simple
Just Here for the Game?
Every party is a little different — especially in an escape room. If one of our packages sounds like the right fit, give us a call or drop us an email and tell us what you're planning, and we'll help you sort out the rest. But if it's just the adventure you're after and you'd like to celebrate somewhere else, that's easy: book the escape room directly on our website.
"Had my little girl's birthday party here. It was a hit and they all had so much fun! Her friends were telling her 'best birthday party, ever!', which she loved. The staff were all so nice, helpful, and patient with 8 screaming 8 year old kids! Thank you all!"

"My husband, son and I did the Red Giant and it was mind blowing. As soon as the game began, we were directly immersed into an Egyptian tomb excavation with an Indiana Jones flair. The interactive rooms were filled with surprises and unexpected action and you felt transported into another world."

FAQ
Questions Parents Ask
Getting Started
What's included in a birthday package?
Every package starts with the 60-minute escape room adventure and your own party space for cake and celebration afterward. From there you can add a surprise character, pizza, or both, depending on which package you choose. Call us and we'll walk you through the options.
How do I organize a birthday party at Quest Room?
Decide on your date (Sunday to Friday, since we do not host birthday parties on Saturdays)
Decide on your group size and pick a package
Think through what else you will need: cake, goody bags, candles, decorations, etc.
Call or email us and tell us what is on your mind and your group size, and we'll help you pick the right room for your kids' ages
Lock in your date with a deposit (non-refundable, so double-check it first)
Send out invitations
A few days before, confirm your final headcount with us
Show up about 15 minutes early for waivers, and have fun!
When is the best day to have a birthday party at Quest Room, and why?
We don't host birthday parties on Saturdays, so any other day works. The best fit is generally a Sunday or a weekday afternoon. Worth it? We believe so, because your whole Saturday stays free for other fun.
What days are birthday party packages available?
Sunday through Friday. Birthday parties are not available on Saturdays.
Booking & Payment
Is a deposit required for a birthday package?
Yes. Every package includes the party space, so a non-refundable deposit holds both your date and the space, with the balance due later. Because it is non-refundable, double-check your date before you lock it in.
Booking just the game is different. No package, no deposit, book it online like any other group. It can absolutely be part of a birthday. But without the package there is no space to gather in afterwards, so plan on playing and then heading off, rather than cake and presents here.
Can I use a gift card for a birthday party package?
Birthday party packages are booked differently as they often need a personal touch. Hence, they’re arranged personally by our team rather than through the online checkout where gift cards apply. Booking just the game is different, that goes through the normal checkout, so a gift card works fine there. If you have questions about payment options, email us or give us a call.
Can we arrive early to set up for the birthday celebration?
Everyone should arrive about 15 minutes before game time so the group can complete waivers and get settled. Setting up the party space is separate from that, and there are two ways to do it.
Before your game. If you booked a birthday party package and there is no party booked right before yours, we can often let you in earlier to set up. That depends entirely on the day, so if you are planning on it, please ask us when you book and we will tell you what is possible for your date.
During your game. You can also decorate while your group is playing, as long as the person decorating is not needed inside a room. For a children’s party that means an adult in every room you booked, plus one extra who stays in the lobby.
If you did not book the package there is no party space to set up. In that case we assume you came just for the game, and we hope the rest of the celebration is a great one. If you would like the space after all, just ask us and we will check whether it is available on your date.
Group Size
How many kids can play?
To help you calculate this: exactly how many kids can play depends on which games you choose, since each room has its own capacity
For example, combining Red Giant (max 6), Da Vinci’s Challenge (max 10), and Spell Breakers (max 8) can add up to more kids than the party space comfortably fits
Don’t forget to count adults too. One responsible adult from your group must be in the room with the children, especially across multiple rooms, and if a child needs to step out, an adult needs to supervise them in the lobby too
A birthday party package is really about the space and time around the game. Our party space fits up to 12 children comfortably; any more than that and it gets a bit tight
Need more room? You can book the entire venue exclusively instead of just reserving the party space within it
What if we have more than 14 kids?
It’s the party space, not the escape rooms, that sets the real limit. The rooms themselves can handle more when you combine games
Our semi-private party space comfortably holds up to 12 children
Up to 14 kids can usually still fit
Beyond 14, best practice is to book out the entire lobby for your party instead, for a 2-hour block
Email us or call us and we’ll help you plan it
Age & Room Selection
How young can the children be, and which rooms work best for a kids’ birthday?
We don’t have a strict age minimum. For most of our rooms we recommend 8 and up, but Spell Breakers is built for young children and works from about 4, which is why it is our most popular choice for kids’ birthdays.
Red Giant is a good next step from about 7-8. Da Vinci’s Challenge and Malediction suit older kids and teens.
If you’re not sure which room fits your group, call or email us and we’ll match it to their age.
What if a child has a disability or accessibility need?
Not everyone thinks to ask this, and the ones who do are usually the reason their child's whole party has a great time. Let us know about any accessibility needs when you book, for example needing extra light to read clues, or wheelchair accessibility, and we will walk you through what works and help match your group to the right room so every kid can participate comfortably.
Supervision
Do parents need to stay during the game?
Yes, a responsible adult must stay with the group in each booked escape room for the full 60 minutes
Our game masters run the story and keep things moving, but cannot be a chaperone or babysitter for kids outside the room
If any child steps out to the lobby, a responsible adult from your group needs to go with them
If the responsible adult needs to step out, the game has to end for that room
What if a child wants to step out of the room?
It happens: bathroom breaks, a moment to catch their breath, whatever the reason. If you think this might come up, let the game master know before the game starts. Important: do not push the emergency exit button. Triggering it ends the game immediately for the entire group, the same as with adult bookings.
Once a child steps out, the game master may not be able to let them back in without stopping the game. There's also something to plan for in advance: whoever accompanies the child outside needs to stay in the lobby to supervise them. If your group only has one adult and that adult is in the room with the other children, the game may need to stop entirely so the adult can come out. Think through your supervision plan before you arrive, it makes everything smoother.
Food, Decorations & Party Space
Can we bring our own food, cake and decorations to the party space?
Yes. The package that gives you the space is designed for exactly that, so bring a cake, balloons, basic decorations and your own food, and set up in the party space. If you would rather not bring your own food, the pizza package covers it. Confetti and piñatas are a bit much to clean up in time, so please skip those.
Without a package there is no party space, so there is nothing to set up and nowhere to sit and eat. In this case we assume that you just came for the game.
Is the party space private?
Semi-private. Your space is reserved exclusively for your group for the full duration of your booking
It's closed off from the rest of the lobby with walls and a curtain, comfortably fitting up to 12 children with table and seating
For fire code reasons, the wall has a gap near the ceiling, so sound can carry a bit between spaces
Getting oriented
What exactly is an escape room?
Think of it as stepping inside a movie, except that the movie pulls you in and doesn't let go. You and your group have 60 minutes to figure out what's going on, follow the clues, crack the puzzles, and get out together. Way more fun than it sounds, and it leaves you with one of those memories you only get when you went through something with your group. No experience needed. First-timers are welcome.
How long is each game?
60 minutes. Most people play right around that, a little less if you happen to be very fast.
How long does the whole thing take?
The game is 60 minutes. Add about 15 minutes before for waivers and a briefing, and a few minutes after for photos. Allow 90 minutes and you will be out in time for whatever you have planned next.
Will you pair us with strangers?
Nope. You go in with who you came with. And probably leave with them too.
Choosing a room
Half of us have never done an escape room. Is that a problem?
Not at all, and it is the most common situation we see. Malediction, Red Giant and Heretics all work well for beginners. Cannibal’s Den and Da Vinci’s Challenge are our two hardest, so maybe save those for a crew that has done a few of these.
Which room is actually scary?
Cannibal’s Den, genuinely, and it is the only room with real horror in it. Heretics is dark and gloomy but not frightening. The rest are quite friendly, so if someone in your group is out on scary, you still have plenty to pick from.
How many people can play?
Each room takes a different number of players:
Cannibal’s Den 2-6 Heretics 2-6 Red Giant 2-6 Malediction 2-8 Da Vinci’s Challenge 2-10
If your group is too big to fit in one go, or you want several rooms starting at the same time, contact us before you book. Online times may not line up on their own, and we cannot change them once booked.
Who can play
Do you have an age limit?
No real upper limit. If someone’s up for it at 114, we’re up for it too. On the younger side, 8 is generally a good starting point for most of our rooms, though we do have one game built for younger children, so ask us if your group is small. One responsible adult must stay in the room with any minors for the full 60 minutes.
Can I book for a group of children?
Yes, but one thing you should consider: our games require that a responsible adult stays inside the room with the children for the entire 60 minutes. Our game masters run the game to make it fun and safe for everybody, and they cannot supervise children.
If a child needs to step out, an adult has to go and stay with them in the lobby. If that leaves no adult inside, the game may have to stop, so it is worth figuring out these logistics ahead.
Is Quest Room wheelchair accessible? Elevator, bathrooms, and game rooms
Our venue is on the second floor, but the building has an elevator, and the lobby, common areas and bathrooms are all fully wheelchair accessible. Inside the game rooms it varies: some rooms have areas or puzzle mechanics that can be harder to navigate, but several of our rooms work well for wheelchair users, including Malediction and Da Vinci’s Challenge. Just let us know when you book and we will match you to the right room and walk you through what to expect.
Booking
How do I book?
Pick your game, pick your date, time, and the number of people playing. Tickets are non-refundable, so lock in a date you're sure about. If you're not sure exactly how many people are playing, book for the minimum number you're sure will come, you can always add more people later.
How far in advance should I book for an event?
2-3 weeks is a good rule for any larger event booking, and 2-4 weeks for a big corporate event, since those take more preparation. Friday and Saturday fill up first, so aim earlier in peak season. Sometimes you can still get in the same week, so it is always worth checking availability before assuming you are too late.
Can we have the whole place to ourselves?
Yes. The whole venue can be booked as a separate arrangement, Sunday through Friday, which gives you the entire place to yourselves.
It is also the only way to have a bar, because once a bar sets up in our lobby we cannot have anyone else in the space. Email or call us with your date and group size and we will talk it through with you.
Before you arrive
Can we drink before or during the game?
No, please don’t. These rooms are genuinely challenging, and people who turn up under the influence get confused, lost and often frustrated. They may trip and fall, or break something. Escape rooms, drinking and drugs do not go together. We take safety seriously and really want everyone to enjoy the games.
Can we wear costumes?
Yes. We have costumes here and you are welcome to put one on before you go in. They are themed to each room and simple enough to play the whole game in. Most people put one on just for the fun of it, and they look great in the group photo at the end.
Can I bring my phone, camera, or smartwatch into the room?
We ask that phones, smartwatches, smart glasses, cameras, and other electronics stay outside the room. If you have a specific reason you need your phone with you (e.g. a medical condition, an important call you’re expecting), let us know before your booking and we’ll work it out with your game master on a case-by-case basis. If you have any questions in this regard, please call or write to us ahead of time.
What if I need to leave the room during the game?
If you think you might need to step out at any point during the 60 minutes, for any reason (a known medical need, an important call you are expecting), tell your game master before the game starts. This matters more than it might seem: in most rooms, the only way out mid-game is the emergency exit. Triggering it ends the game immediately for your entire group. The game cannot be restarted, you would need to rebook. Your game master can plan ahead with you, but only if you tell them before you go in. When in doubt, say something first. If you have any questions in this regard, please call or write to us ahead of time.
What happens if we arrive late?
Please arrive at least 10 minutes before your start time.
Late arrivals may lose game time, because the game starts on schedule.
Not checked in within 30 minutes of your reservation? Your game may be canceled without a refund.
Changing your booking
Can I add another player to my group?
If you need to add someone who would like to join, yes, you can. The only thing to keep in mind is the room's capacity. Call us in advance so we can add them to your reservation and have their waiver ready.
Can I reschedule my booking?
At least 12 hours' notice required
Rescheduling fee, based on your new date:
$30 for Monday through Thursday
$60 for Friday, Saturday, Sunday and holidays
If the new booking is more expensive, we will ask you to pay the difference.
New booking costs less? Unfortunately we cannot refund or credit the difference.
Can I get a refund?
Game bookings: tickets are non-refundable, same as a concert ticket, so you can reschedule instead for a small fee
Birthday/corporate deposits: non-refundable, so please double-check your date before paying
Gift cards: non-refundable, but never expires
That said, mistakes can happen, whether it is human error or a glitch in our booking system, nobody and no process is perfect, unfortunately. If you believe we made a mistake, email us and simply explain what happened and why you think there’s an error. Give us a little time to look into it. We are not just fixing that one case, we’re checking the whole process so it doesn’t happen again.
