Escape Room

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS AN ESCAPE ROOM?
An Escape Room is a 60-minute fast-paced quest to complete your mission! You and your crew will gather together in a themed room to look for clues and solve puzzles in order to complete your mission and “escape” the room. Examine those paintings on the wall, rummage through the bookshelves, or examine notes and memos to decipher a hidden code or riddle. Everywhere you look is a potential clue! You may find a series of numbers or letters you need for a combination lock or a key for a padlock. But don’t worry, if you get stumped, your friendly Game Master will drop you a hint if needed. Get busy, the countdown starts as soon as you get your mission!

ARE WE REALLY LOCKED IN A ROOM?
No. You may leave the escape room at any time (restroom, medication, babysitter calls, etc.).

DO I NEED A RESERVATION?
Reservations for the escape room are required by booking online or calling us. Click any of the ‘Book Now’ buttons. 

WHERE IS HIGH ROCK ESCAPES?
Our escape room is located in the Hocking Hills near Logan, Ohio in the office cabin of High Rock Adventures at 10108 Opossum Hollow Rd, Rockbridge, Ohio  43149. Parking is directly across the road from the cabin at High Rock Adventures.

CAN MY GROUP HAVE EXCLUSIVE USE OF THE ROOM?
Yes, you can book a Private Room experience. 5-6 participants make the escape room private automatically. Larger groups than 6 are not recommended, event though the room is large enough

DO I NEED TO PURCHASE ALL THE AVAILABLE SPOTS FOR AN ESCAPE ROOM TIME SLOT?
No. We do require a minimum of 2 participants to run a game. There is an option to book a private room or a public room where you may be teamed with other people in the same game and time slot. 5-6 participants make the escape room private automatically.

WHAT TIME DO I/WE NEED TO ARRIVE?
Please arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your scheduled time as a waiver will need to be signed and your Game Master will give an overview of the rules of the game prior to start time.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I/WE ARRIVE LATE?
We ask that you arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your scheduled time. Being on time is essential to everyone’s experience. For non-private bookings, you will not be permitted into the escape room if you are late. For private bookings, your time to complete the room will be reduced to maintain the original end time. Example: You arrive 10 minutes late and take another 5 minutes to complete your waivers. Your time to complete the room will be reduced from 60 minutes to 45 minutes. This is done to preserve the start times of the games following yours. There are NO refunds or rescheduling in this scenario as this time block is reserved specifically for you.

ARE THE LIGHTS TURNED OFF?
No, but dim lighting may be present in certain areas.

DO I NEED ANY SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE OR SKILLS?
No. Everything you need to know is located somewhere in the escape room. We ask that do not use tools from outside the room.

CAN I BRING FOOD AND DRINK INTO THE FACILITY OR ROOM?
Food and drinks are NOT allowed. Alcohol is strictly prohibited.

ARE CHILDREN PERMITTED TO PARTICIPATE?
This room is typically not recommended for youth under 10 and children under 6 are not permitted.

All children 15 and under require at least one adult participant. Children 18 and under require a waiver signed by a parent or guardian. 

This escape experience is designed to be fun and  engaging for adults and older youth. This is not a scary experience but it would not be engaging for younger children.
