Arrive 15 Minutes Early
Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before your slot to sign waivers and get the briefing; late arrivals can shorten your game time.
Bring Photo ID
An adult may need to sign for minors and staff will ask for ID during check-in, so bring a government-issued photo ID.
Assign Roles Fast
Pick a searcher, a solver, and a timekeeper within the first five minutes to avoid duplicated effort and wasted time.
Ticket Ready on Your Phone
Mobile tickets are accepted; have the confirmation ready to speed check-in but expect to stow your phone during play.
Comfortable shoes
You’ll move around props and crouch occasionally — flat, grippy shoes keep you steady.
Photo ID
Required for check-in and for adults signing waivers for minors.
Charged smartphone
Useful for mobile tickets and post-game photos; phones may need to be stowed during play.
Light jacket or layers
Old Town can be breezy by the river and rooms sometimes run cool with AC.
