Deadline Escape Rooms is a Reno, Nevada escape room company that designs and operates immersive, themed escape experiences. The business offers a rotating lineup of horror and mystery rooms—Freakshow, Dead Silence, Camp Ruby Lake, Witch Doctor, and Noir—each created for groups, team building, and recreational play. Deadline Escape Rooms builds detailed sets such as a vintage Big Top Tent for Freakshow and a Louisiana Bayou shack for Witch Doctor, and stages timed puzzle challenges that require observation, logic, and teamwork.
Sessions accommodate a range of group sizes; Freakshow supports teams of up to 12 players. Witch Doctor features a one-hour rescue scenario where players attempt to free a trapped voodoo priestess from the spirit world. Camp Ruby Lake presents two distinct campfire stories—Cabin 8 or a legendary creature hunt—designed for suspenseful, story-driven play. Dead Silence places players in a dark basement setting focused on stealth and tense puzzle solving. Information for Noir is listed among available experiences; specific details are provided directly by Deadline Escape Rooms.

Arrive Early to Brief Your Team
Give your group at least 15 minutes before your scheduled time to get acclimated and review initial instructions for the best experience.
Minimum Group Size Required
Witch Doctor requires at least three players; larger groups can enhance puzzle-solving but stay within the 10-player limit.
Stay Mindful of Dim Lighting
The environment is intentionally dark to build atmosphere; bring your best observation skills and ask for a hint if you’re stuck.
Avoid Heavy Bags
Space is limited inside the shack, so leave large backpacks behind or stow them securely before entering.
Comfortable Clothing
Wear layers that allow comfort indoors and for any time spent outside in the local weather.
Notebook and Pen
Useful for jotting down clues, though many games provide these; check ahead.
Good Lighting (Optional)
A small flashlight can help if the game setting feels too dark, but the venue typically provides enough light.
Small Bag or Pouch
Keep essentials handy without bulky luggage to navigate the shack’s compact spaces easily.
