If you have never tried an escape room before, you might be wondering what to expect. The good news is – you don’t need any special skills or experience. Anyone can play and enjoy the game.

An escape room is a live adventure where you and your team solve puzzles and complete a mission within a limited time, usually 60 minutes.

### What happens before the game

Before the game starts, you will receive a short introduction from the game master. They will explain the rules, safety instructions, and the story of your mission.

### During the game

✔ You explore the room and search for clues
✔ You solve puzzles and unlock new elements
✔ You work as a team and communicate
✔ You can ask for hints if needed

The goal is to complete the mission before time runs out.

### Is it difficult?

Escape rooms are designed for beginners as well as experienced players. The key is teamwork, not knowledge.

### Is it scary?

Most escape rooms are not scary. Some may have a mysterious atmosphere, but they are designed to be fun, not frightening.
