Ready to test your escape room skills now?
All Worlds Away escape rooms are private, ensuring an exclusive experience with just your group.
We’ve found that having only people you know in the room makes the adventure better – you’re free to be as goofy or as intense as you want.
Depends on the theme of the room.
Our rooms contain elements such as dim lighting, loud music, sound effects and more, as to follow the theme of the particular room.
Our spookier-themed rooms may have additional warnings in the description, which usually are noted to contain frightful elements.
Children 5 and under are ONLY allowed if they are in a carrier or stroller the entire time.
6 and over are allowed, however, they do need a paying ticket. We do recommend ages 10 and up due to the complexity of the puzzles.
Some of our rooms might contain content that is not appropriate for children, such as dark rooms, flashing lights, spooky audio, or potential choking hazards for little ones.
Night Tide, Arcane Academy, The Nightshadow’s Shroud, and Detention Hall 2.0 are wheelchair-accessible.
The Cabin and Lost in Oz are not wheelchair-accessible.
A strong mind is the key to our games.
Other physical requirements include minor bending, crouching, etc.
Objects in the room do not require more than two fingers of strength
Sure, just remember that we do not offer special kids prices and some of the rooms might be spooky or challenging for younger children.
Also, children under 6 are only allowed if they are in a carrier or stroller for the full session.
Yes, we do have a recommended number of people for each room, listed with the room description. However, it is just a recommendation NOT required.
No. ALL children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult in the room.
Due to size, safety, and wanting to keep the fire marshal happy, we cannot have more than the listed maximum number of people per room.
If you have more players you will have to split up into two rooms.
Of course! However, we do not have party packages.
Your team is welcome to come play a room for a birthday celebration.
An adult MUST accompany the group if there are any team members under 16.
We also do not have a waiting space for additional adults but there are lots of fun things they can check out on the Walking Mall while they wait.
Yes. Book the room with a 2-player deposit. Others can pay later at the respective per-player rate.
For example, say you’re a 5-person team…
- We need a deposit of $90 (@ $45 per head for 2 players) to reserve the room on your preferred date & time.
- Later on, the others can pay @ $33 each (as the per-player rate for 5 players is $33).
