Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. All of our escape rooms are difficult and require many points of view. The minimum number of players needed to attempt a room is four. You must pay for at least four people to reserve a room. If you still would rather play just 2 or 3 people, you can but you still have to pay for the minimum of 4 players. We would strongly encourage you to invite at least enough friends and family to make the group of 4. Any players above the 4 minimum are $28 additional.

No. City ordinance requires any establishment where alcohol is consumed to have a liquor license and Fargo Escape Room doesn't have the required license. Besides, alcohol and escape rooms don't mix well. You need to stay sharp in order to solve the puzzles. However, there are a number of popular restaurants and pubs in West Fargo where you can celebrate your victory or drown your sorrows afterward.

An escape room is a live-action game in which participants are locked in a room full of clues that must be found and puzzles that must be solved in order to complete the mission. Escape rooms have a theme or back story to help make the experience more immersive. The typical time limit is 60 minutes. Hints are often available should the participants get stuck on a puzzle.

No. None of our rooms are locked and they are large and well lit. Still, if you feel you need to, you are welcome to step out of the room and catch your breath.

We are often able to accommodate bookings outside of our regularly scheduled hours or change the scheduled times for rooms with advanced notice. Please fill out our contact form below, and we will be in touch!

That is entirely up to you and your team. For each room, you will be given 60 minutes to escape. Please also allow 10-15 minutes for us to provide you with the instructions and basic rules needed to complete the game. The total Escape Room experience should last a total of 90 minutes at most but remember it all depends on how quickly your team can solve the clues necessary to escape.

Wear something comfortable. Clues will be hidden all over the room and may require bending or sitting on the floor to access. Keep in mind the room might start to warm up as the clock ticks down and the adrenaline starts to pump.

There is no specific minimum age requirement, however, the rooms are meant to be challenging and can sometimes have adult themes. Therefore, it is recommended that participants be at least 14 years of age. Anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Escape Rooms are live-action events. We ask that you arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled game time in order to allow our Game Master to instruct you on the details of the experience. Please leave ample time for traffic and ensure you know where to find us.

If your team, or some members of your team, are late, the clock in the room will start 10 minutes after your normal start time. For instance, if you booked at 4:00 pm, the clock will start at 4:10 pm. If part of your team is present, they can start then. Any remaining players can enter when they arrive.

If your team hasn't arrived by 20 minutes after your normal start time, your game will be canceled.

We do our best to be flexible but do not guarantee a game or refund for late participants.

Separate and Search. There is a lot to find. Spread out and look high and low.

Communicate and Record. Use the white board to keep track of clues. Double check each other’s answers and searches if you are stuck.

Consider Your Options. Not everything is a clue. There are plenty of red herrings. Conversely, things that seem innocuous may be very important.

Stay Safe. There are no clues in any windows, electrical outlets, plugs or cords. There are no clues above normal reach. No need to climb on anything, play with the shades or screens. The emergency escapes are located in the windows.

Handle with Care. There is no excessive force or physical exertion required. Please be gentle with our props.

Request Hints. If you are stuck, ask for a hint. Hints will be noted on our leaderboard.
