A father wants to book an escape room for his daughter's twelfth birthday. There will be eight children and two adults. He wonders whether one room fits ten people or whether they need two, which room is easiest for first-timers, whether children can play without adults in the room and how early they should arrive. The venue's website lists room names and prices only. He messages, and books whichever venue replies first.
Escape room questions are about choosing the right room. Clear answers help groups book.
What groups ask
Groups usually ask how many players each room suits, which rooms are best for beginners, how difficult each room is, whether children can play, whether adults need to be in the room with children, how long the game lasts, how early to arrive, whether there is somewhere to wait or eat and whether they can book two rooms at the same time for a competition.
Example conversations
These scripts use information an escape room venue might publish. Your answers should come from your own pages.
Parent: We have eight kids aged twelve and two adults. Which room should we book? Assistant: The rooms page shows that groups of ten can book two rooms side by side and race each other. For first-timers aged twelve, the page suggests the two beginner rooms. Children under the age shown need an adult in the room.
Customer: How hard is The Vault? Assistant: The page rates The Vault as a hard room, recommended for experienced players.
Customer: How early should we arrive? Assistant: The page asks groups to arrive fifteen minutes before their start time for a briefing.
Difficulty ratings
Clear difficulty ratings help groups choose. First-timers who pick a hard room may have a frustrating time.
Age policy
Parents need to know the age rules and supervision requirements. A clear policy answers this before they book.
Facilities and first visits
First-time visitors ask about parking, waiting areas and facilities. These questions are covered in facilities and parking questions before a first visit.
Team events
Companies book escape rooms for team building. Capturing group size, date and whether they want food or a private area helps the venue prepare.
Small business essentials
Many escape rooms are small businesses. The basics every small business site should answer are covered in the questions every small business website should answer. Owners juggling everything will recognise one person, many jobs and the messages in between.
Private hire and exclusive use
Some groups want the whole venue, such as a company booking every room for a team day or a family hiring the place for a birthday. Explaining whether exclusive hire is possible, how many people it suits and whether food or drinks can be arranged opens the door to larger bookings. Capturing the date, group size and budget helps the owner respond with a proposal quickly.
Gift vouchers
Escape rooms make popular gifts. Explaining how vouchers work, how long they last and how to redeem them helps gift buyers and brings new players through the door.
