    What To Expect

    Here’s how it works: You and your team will work together to find clues, solve puzzles, and ultimately complete a mission. Escaping will require teamwork, communication, wits, a sense of adventure, and most importantly: YOU!

    Once you arrive, a dedicated game guide will take you on to your adventure and help you as needed. You will have exactly 60-minutes to complete the mission in your adventure and escape.

    Choose to play one of four uniquely immersive games:
    - Prison Break: Complete a daring escape from the evil warden!
    - Special Ops: Mysterious Market: Uncover the truth as a secret agent!
    - The Heist: Recover a stolen masterpiece from an art thief!
    - The Depths: Go on an underwater mission in a submarine!
