Please select your number of players:
Standard Games: 2-8 players (8 Maximum)
Standard game appointments are up to 90 minutes in length, which includes 60 minutes of game play, an introduction and team photo at the end.
You may bring 8 players for a single team game, although not recommended by us. It is advised that groups of 8-14 persons book a duel competition.
No more than 8 players are permitted for a standard game due to fire safety and enjoyment purposes.
Duels: 8 – 14 Players (16 Maximum)
Duels require up to 2 hours for appointments and include:
A 10 minute introduction, 60 minutes of game play, split into 2 rounds of 30 minutes,where both teams play at the same game at the same time in different areas, and one 10 minute reset break. After the first round, participants switch areas and compete to see who gets the furthest or out in the fastest time.
Benefits of a duel:
- It offers the same experience to all players – same game.
- It adds a fun, competitive element into the experience.
- It prevents “spoilers” from each team about the “other” adventure they played (in the case of cross-room games).
- Everyone plays at the same time in duels!
- Duels don’t take much more time than a regular appointment (up to 2 hours vs. 90 minutes)
- Every game format still allows every player to play a total of 60 minutes in the adventure!
- Duels/Tournaments give a little extra time to socialize / play board games / strategize / relax between rounds
Perfect for a fun team building activity!
** We are able to host 16 player duels (8 vs 8 players) however we recommend 15 or more players participate in the Tournament format.
No more than 16 players are permitted in a duel game due to fire safety and enjoyment purposes.
Tournaments: 15 – 21 Players (24 Maximum)
Tournaments require a booking time of up to 2.5 hours and include:
A 10 minute introduction, 90 minutes of game play (3 x 30 minute rounds, with each team playing 60 minutes total. 2 teams play head to head in each round, 1 team sits out per round while enjoying our other board games in reception) and two 10 minute reset breaks.
Our maximum capacity is 24 players per tournament, however we recommend a maximum of 21. Benefits of a Tournament:
- It offers the same experience to all players – same game.
- It adds a fun, competitive element into the experience.
- It prevents “spoilers” from each team about the “other” adventure they played (in the case of cross-room games).
- Every game format still allows every player to play a total of 60 minutes in the adventure!
- Duels/Tournaments give a little extra time to socialize / play board games / strategize / relax between rounds

More than 21 Players?
Please select one of 2 options:
• Please book consecutive duel or tournament appointments to accommodate your group size OR
• Book a tournament/duel in 3 different adventures simultaneously – please ensure they are available via our up to date online booking calendars.
I’m unsure of my number of players…
This is no problem as long as the maximum number of participants is not exceeded for your game style.
For large groups of over 8 players we recommend that you book the minimum number of players that you expect to attend in each game style. Example: for 8-10 guests, please book for 8 people if you are unsure of the total number. If you may have more than 15 players, please always book a tournament.

Frequently Asked Questions:
The Adventure Rooms are “real life escape room games” – which are awesome group activities. The basic idea is that the team must solve a variety of puzzles in order to “break free” from an escape room containing locked doors before a 60 (or 90) minute countdown reaches zero. To do so, they have to use not brute force, but skill and cunning.
This is a fun and challenging game that requires searching for clues, codes, keys and using objects in strange ways. Escape games are a great option for group activities for all ages, team building events, and special occasions.
Our escape games are meant to be challenging. Only about 20% of all teams manage to escape in time. Even unsuccessful teams find the challenge to be rewarding and a great team building adventure!
The price for our in-person experiences are:
- 2 players for $33 each + tax (Sabotage is $44 each + tax)
- 3-14 players $30 each + tax (Sabotage is $42 each + tax)
- 15 or more players in a tournament style game $27 each + tax
All escape room bookings are private experiences for your guests only!

Minors are permitted to play the game without an adult participant in the room, as we are constantly monitoring the games via audio and visual means, provided that an adult has signed our guideline forms for participation. All of our escape the room games are equally suitable for children and are regularly played by groups of kids that have thoroughly enjoyed their adventure – regardless of escape! 😉 It’s a great choice for things to do with children in the area.

Sabotage is recommended for families with children, or groups of aged 16+ without adults, due to more complex puzzles.
Can I bring an infant into the games?
Certainly. We recommend either a baby carrier seat or swaddle carrier inside the escape room games. Please be advised that there is moderate volumed music playing in the game. There is no charge for the infant unless they end up being the mastermind behind the team’s puzzle solving and escape 😉

In Kitchener, we also have a rentable party room that can be booked in 30 minute increments at the time of booking. Please select the number of time slots you wish to add to your booking.
$15/half hour + HST. We do not provide food/catering or utensils, however you can bring anything you like, except alcohol, as we are non-licensed and family-friendly.
In Niagara, we do not have a party room or food available on site. Many teams celebrate dinner offsite before or after attending the Adventure Rooms for special occasions. These are great things to do Niagara Falls for all occasions.
Our escape room games are not physically strenuous, however they and our locations do involve light walking, standing, bending, possible crawling or stairs, and searching. Please wear whatever you feel comfortable completing these activities in. We would recommend flat shoes / indoor shoes where possible.
Additionally, as you will be searching for codes, clues and keys, we recommend bringing/wearing any eyewear (glasses) that you may personally need for seeing items in various situations and lighting.

Our escape room games are not physically strenuous, however they and our locations do involve light walking, standing, bending, possible crawling or stairs, and searching. There are no horror or scary elements to the game. We can accommodate special needs such as no music, and participants who are visually or hearing challenged. There are generally places to sit within our games for anyone with issues with standing for long periods. Please see game-specific details on our booking page for any other important items.
Wheelchair accessibility:
Kitchener: Our building has an alternate entrance on the side that has no steps required to enter, which is easiest to access, otherwise the main building entrance has 3 steps. Our lobby and party room are accessible.
The Original and Alternate adventures are on the main floor. Most spaces within those games are accessible, except for a small cubby – but this does not interfere with gameplay. * Please note for health concerns, the Alternate Adventure uses a strobe light in a well-lit room for a few moments – it is controlled by your team and any affected parties may leave the area while this occurs.
The Mayor’s Office is on the 2nd floor, however we now have a wheelchair ramp located in the rear of the building that allows access.
The Vault is about 75% accessible.
Niagara Falls: Our building and lobby are accessible, however 2 escape games have small portions that are not accessible. The Missing Finger is about 75% accessible and The Collector is about 80% accessible, however this game would still allow the team to be together, whereas in The Missing Finger that 25% would separate the team.
Our newer games Moonshine, Sabotage and Stool Pigeon are not accessible in Niagara Falls due to their location.
We have found that once participants understand that the escape rooms are generally well-lit, decent sized spaces that are continuously monitored by us, they feel quite comfortable playing.
When a team is inside the game, everyone is so focused on enjoying the experience and solving puzzles, they tend to forget they are locked in.
We have yet to have any issues in 11 years of operation. As these are group activities, the other team members in your group also help to relieve any concerns with teamwork and communication.
Please let us know in advance of any concerns/questions.
At Adventure Rooms Canada our games are designed to encourage players to explore, experiment and investigate all items within the room to formulate a solution to the puzzles themselves. Should you require assistance, it will be provided to you on a predetermined, timed basis, not by request. As such, we recommend thoroughly searching the game space to ensure that you have exhausted all options during your adventure with us.
Our games are designed to be both challenging and fair for all players, regardless of outside knowledge, skill, or age, and are solvable by as few as 2 players.
Everything you need for your game is already provided inside the environment, or by your host at the start of your grand adventure. 😉
