We do limit hints to 3 but we always have ways that you can get extra hints without having to sing and dance, we don’t do that here. We will not let you stand around doing nothing. If you ask for help you will get help. No one loses because they ran out of hints.
A Red Herring is a misleading clue that intentionally distracts you from the real puzzles. We do not include red herrings in our game design. In fact, the team at Escape This Frederick believes red herrings do not belong in escape rooms. If you did not use an item, it is most likely a prop for immersion.
All our rooms are nonlinear; you will always have multiple puzzles to start a game and most of the time you will have 2 or more puzzles that can be solved by your team. There might be points where the game might bottleneck but it will most likely branch out to multiples puzzles again.
Some games might have obvious second rooms others might have secret rooms. We do not tell our players if a game has or doesn’t have multiple rooms, simply because the mystery could be ruined. But all our rooms are full of surprises and Ah-ha moments that will WOW you!
All of our escape game rooms have a minimum of 2 players and a maximum of 6 to 12 players depending on the themed room. In the room description, you will see the maximum amount of players per room.
Sorry, but we ask that you refrain from taking photos or videos in our escape rooms. We want to preserve the secrets of our rooms so everyone can have the fullest experience.
If a room is meant to be scary we will make it known prior to booking. Most of our rooms are more adventure-themed than scary. No one is going to jump out of the dark to scare you, so people with heart conditions are welcome!
Our rooms accommodate groups of 2 up to 12 players, so escape games are perfect for corporate events, birthday parties, etc. For large groups we can run 40 players per hour. If you have a larger group call for arrangements. If you would like to do something new and unique, then this is the perfect activity.
