Cryptic Characters offers the choice of 3 unique themed escape rooms, ranging from not scary to very scary. Children are allowed, but puzzles have been geared towards ages 13 and up.
- Starship Minerva (4-8 players) is the newest room, inviting guests to board a spaceship and race against the clock to fix the damaged AI. The ship’s crew is counting on you so they can continue to explore the galaxy and deliver aid to planets in need!
- Dungeon of Despair (4-8 players) has players pitted as key suspects in a medieval mystery! Can you escape the royal dungeon and clear your name after the King and Queen have accused you of using magic to abduct the heir?
- Containment Breach Z (6-12 players) is the most terrifying of the 3 experiences, where a zombie contagion will infect members of your party and turn you against one another! The group will be split into humans vs. ravenous zombies in this thrilling battle for survival. Note: This room contains realistic horror elements and is restricted to players age 12 and up.
An escape room visit makes a great gift for the hard-to-buy-for tweens, teens, and adults on your list. It offers the perfect opportunity to unplug with family or friends while tackling a fun challenge together. To solve each puzzle within the one-hour allotted time limit, it will take problem-solving skills, patience, and plenty of teamwork! While not everyone manages to escape in the end, there are memories to be made from each unexpected discovery and puzzle solved along the way.
