Each experience is available as private play with a dedicated game master, flexible start times, and options to bring snacks or add refreshments. The Matinee Escape provides exclusive early-morning access; Escape Marathon and Your Way 3-Play/4-Play let groups book back-to-back room runs for intense puzzle marathons.

The Woods places players in Aokigahara Forest on a mission to rescue astronomer Edwin Hubble through zodiac-themed puzzles and immersive sounds and visuals. Toxicity traps groups in a toxic bunker pursued by a sadistic killer named SArIN, demanding stealth and problem solving. A Frigid Flight sends teams to a blizzard-stricken island to awaken a restless spirit, while Mutation Protocol drops players into a high-tech alien laboratory racing to save their DNA.
A Harrowing Escape accommodates large groups with venue-wide buyouts, customizable puzzles, and discounts for bigger parties. Game design emphasizes immersive audio-visual elements, role assignments, and private, safety-conscious gameplay suitable for celebrations, team-building, and puzzle enthusiasts seeking a memorable, controlled adventure.
