Birthday Party Package FAQs

Who can I bring under existing Legacy Family Ticket Bookings?2024-04-11T16:06:58+10:00

Previously, we generously offered a family ticket option allowing up to 4 adults (18+ and either parents or older siblings) and 4 children (17- and younger siblings) living within a single residence and legally considered an immediate family. We did this to acknowledge the pressures on genuine families finding regular activities to do with their children. We ran these sessions at cost and were proud that we were doing everything we could to make our games accessible.

As of June 2022, with the increasing debts mounting from the ongoing COVID situation we have had to discontinue family tickets.

Anyone with existing family ticket gift vouchers or bookings will of course be honoured, provided that they adhere to the previously published family ticket conditions below:

This ticket can not be used for birthday parties or where multiple families/households are looking to play games together. It really is that simple.

Examples of acceptable use of ticket include:

Mum, Dad, 19 year old son, 15 year old daughter, 12 year old daughter. (3 adults + 2 children)

Mum, 14 year old son, 13 year old son, 10 year old daughter (1 adult + 3 children)

Example of non-acceptable use of tickets include:

Mum, Dad, 19 year old son, 15 year old daughter, 12 year old daughter + 2 children friends. (3 adults + 4 children)
Reason: because all players are not from one immediate family.

Mum, 14 year old son, 12 year old son, 10 year old daughter + 1 child friend (1 adult + 4 children)
Reason: because all players are not from one immediate family.

Which games are best for a children’s birthday?2024-04-11T15:02:06+10:00

Although we accept younger players as part of family groups, generally our younger groups start at age 10. The skills needed to complete our games are not always the type that make it easier for older players. Often younger teams will think more creatively about paths to a solution, will not over complicate and are much faster and more comfortable in communicating their ideas – even if they sometimes need a bit of guidance!

At our Fitzroy location, the best games for larger groups are The Medieval Quest and The Lost Tomb. If you have a smaller team (2-6 players) we would steer you to School of Magic. If you need a larger group at this location you will need to book 2 separate games that run at the same time.

At our Geelong location, the best games for larger groups are Jurassic Island and Puddington’s Toyshop. If you have a smaller team (2-4 players) we would steer you to the School of Magic CUBE and Dragon Magic CUBE. If you need a larger group at this location you will need to book 2 separate games that run at the same time.

Can I add or remove players on the day?2024-04-11T15:35:49+10:00

Provided your group still falls inside the recommended player limits (both minimum and maximum) then you can adjust your player numbers on arrival. You do not need to e-mail us, nor call, nor commit in advance.

This applies to all recreational groups and birthday parties.

On arrival, your group price will be adjusted so you will either receive a refund direct to your credit card (automatically) or you will be required to settle the balance on arrival. Please note that we do not accept cash, nor American Express (or Diners Club Cards).

What is the minimum age to play?2024-04-11T15:03:02+10:00

There are no lower player age limits for children accompanied by an adult in any capacity. For teams where all players are aged 13 years old and over, we do not require an adult to play, provided a responsible adult remains onsite.

For groups of children that require a supervising adult, please note that we include up to 2 free supervising adult players per team (but to be considered within game limits). Please visit supervising adult to find out more.

Please do not include players aged 4 years and younger in your party numbers, and be aware that the games (while not scary) will be too advanced for them to truly participate.

Do I need experience to play?2024-03-29T09:41:19+11:00

If you are new to Escape Rooms we recommend taking on one of our Beginner or Intermediate games to get started.

Whilst our rooms might range in difficulty/complexity and size of challenge, there is no pre-requisite knowledge or experience required for any individual challenge.

We permit ‘players’ of age 10 and over and allow families to bring younger children also. We advise parental discretion when considering The Haunted House for your child. Many children enjoy the horror theme though some may find the game frightening.

For more information on badges, collecting points and membership levels please visit our Rewards Page.

What if we have more than the maximum players?2024-03-29T14:47:02+11:00

Our maximum player limits represent a realistic capacity for that game and space.

On occasions (sometimes birthday parties or other special events) teams may request to bring 1 extra player along. This does NOT need to be requested to us prior, and you are permitted to bring one extra player above max player limits.

While there will be NO additional charge for this one player, we ask you to recognise that you are compromising the physical space available to each customer and affecting the puzzle to player ratios.

Any more than 1 extra player and we will insist that you divide into separate teams and play simultaneous games. You will have had to book this simultaneous game in advance, and can not assume a spare game/room is available to you on arrival.

We do NOT permit more than 4 players inside Geelong CUBE games due to size restrictions.

Please note that the cost of 2 x 5 player games ($250 x 2 = $500) is more than 1 x 10 player game ($400).

What if we have fewer than the minimum players?2020-10-16T10:05:45+11:00

Minimum and Maximum player limits are provided based on what we believe to give the best team experience both in terms of physical space and individual player engagement.

The minimum price for the room must always be paid but if you want to play our games with fewer than the minimum players you may do so.
