Tickets / Booking

How do I book a session?
Tickets can be purchased online here or in person at either of our locations during business hours. Online bookings are made securely through Square and require Credit or Debit Card information at the time of purchase.

I want to change the date/time of my booking.
Upon completing checkout you will receive a Booking Confirmation email. That email contains a link you can follow to change the date and time for your reservation. All changes MUST be made 2 days before your game.

Are tickets refundable?
No. Tickets are non-refundable upon purchase. Please confirm you are booking for the correct date, time, and number of participants before completing checkout.

How far out can I purchase a ticket?
Sessions are available for bookings 9 months in advance. If you are interested in a date farther than 9 months out, please call us for assistance.

Is it possible to purchase Escape Room Gift Cards?
Yes, you can purchase Gift Certificates HERE. If you are buying gift certificates for multiple individuals, they must be purchased separately so they can each receive a unique booking code. These gift certificates can be redeemed for any of our escape rooms!

Is there a minimum / maximum capacity for each room?
There is no minimum, though we recommend playing with at least 3-4 others (especially if you’re new to real-life escape games). Each game has a maximum number of tickets that can be purchased for each session.

  • Diamond Heist, Tomb Explorer, Subway Escape =  8 people
  • Carnegie’s Millions = 10 people

*Effective September 1, 2021, Friday and Saturday reservations require a 4 minimum ticket purchase.*

If you have a group larger than the listed capacities, give us a call at 412-742-4645.

What if I am late to my session?
You may be refused entry if you do not arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled time. The timer will always start at your scheduled time, it is up to your team to choose to move forward if members arrive late.

Can we play the same room more than once?
No. If you fail a room you will be shown how to escape and will no longer be able to play that room again. For all guests, we ask that the puzzles remain a mystery to all new teams so please do not spoil the fun and share the answers with anyone. If you succeed, try your skills in the other room!

Are there any stage effects used?
Yes, our rooms utilize stage effects such as strobe lights, fog machines/hazers, etc. To inquire about a specific room or stage effect, please contact us.
