Book a timed slot
Reserve a mobile ticket to guarantee entry and reduce wait time—arrive 10–15 minutes early for briefings and locker use.
Notify staff of medical issues
If you have epilepsy, heart conditions, or severe anxiety, tell staff before entry—some rooms use strobe lights and disorienting effects.
No shoes or belongings inside
Lockers are provided; plan to remove shoes and put items away—wear socks or bring thin indoor socks for comfort.
Move forward and respect others’ space
The maze requires forward progress and no backtracking to maintain flow and safety—go at a steady pace and follow staff directions.
Comfortable, flexible clothing
Loose, non-restrictive clothes let you bend, crouch, and move in low-light rooms.
Thin indoor socks
Shoes are not allowed—socks protect feet and offer grip on indoor surfaces.
Mobile ticket (on phone)
A digital ticket speeds entry and is accepted in place of paper.
Light sweater or layer
Some rooms can be cool; a light layer stored in the provided locker adds comfort after the maze.
