Escape Game Bookings – Niagara Falls | Kitchener Waterloo

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 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
• 3-14 players $30 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!

*Our prices are already reflective of “group” pricing as they are group activities.

All escape room appointments require either an online deposit, or payment in full, via Debit Card, Credit Card or Paypal at the time of booking.  This includes Corporate Credit Cards.

At your appointment we can accept Cash, Credit Card and Interac Debit Payments for your remaining balance, which can be split among individual players.

For school group activities, a cheque made out to Adventure Rooms Canada Inc. is acceptable, however an online deposit is required to secure the booking.

Cancellation Policy:  This activity is a live-scheduled event.  We are able to accept reschedule requests with a minimum of 24 hours email notice, including for inclement weather, as these weather events are forecast in advance.  No refunds, including due to COVID-19 closures.  Bookings on file awaiting rescheduling do not expire.

Changes to number of players:  Please be advised that you will be required to provide final numbers 24 hours in advance in the case of lower numbers, not requiring multiple games (as booked), to avoid per game cancellation charges or being billed for players who do not arrive.  Additionally, your start time may also require modification if your numbers change.

For virtual games, we recommend booking the fewest players you can expect to attend and we will bill the card on file for any last minute guests for your convenience.

Full payment is required in advance of virtual games.

We recommend that children are 8 years of age or older to play without adults in the escape room, however younger children may play with their families. Regular price applies to all participants aged 6 years and up. Ages 5 and under are free.  This also applies to our Virtual Live Hosted Escape Rooms.

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.

Please note that our Stool Pigeon game is recommended for teens aged 16+ due to game content, including drugs, guns, mafia, etc.

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 😉

Our escape games are unrelated, self-contained challenges. They are fairly equal in terms of levels of difficulty and fun.  They are equally suitable for all ages and groups. All games are booked using separate booking calendars with differing availability on our booking page. They are not required to do in any particular sequence.

Please note that our Stool Pigeon game is recommended for teens aged 16+ due to game content, including drugs, guns, mafia, etc.

Our escape rooms are built to be permanent.  We do not modify or change the existing adventures that we have; rather we build completely new adventures with new names.  If you have played one of our escape games before, that game will be exactly the same in the future as long as it has the same name.

If you are wishing to return to complete the same adventure that you did not “escape” from before, you will start that adventure again from the beginning.  If you wish to experience a brand new adventure with us, please select an adventure with a different name than the ones you have previously played to have a different experience.

Kitchener:  Ground floor at 283 Duke Street West, Kitchener, ON  Unit #102.  Please use the building’s main glass entrance off Duke St. W.  We are the first big red door on the right inside the main lobby.  Advance Reservations are required.

Niagara Falls:  4541 Queen St.  Please use the front entrance.  Advance Reservations are required.  The doors are locked between and during appointments.  We strive to make reception available to you 5 minutes prior to your escape game time.  We recommend you arrive right on time for your appointment booking time.

Parking?

Yes!  In Kitchener, we have spots immediately beside our building around back by the train tracks, as well as at the end of the building towards Waterloo St. There is also a large parking lot off Breithaupt St in front of our building. 2 hour street parking can be found on Breithaupt St.  There is also a large paid municipal lot on the “other side” of the train tracks along Victoria Street.

In Niagara Falls, street parking is available, both paid and unpaid in the downtown area.

Our facilities include a lounge-style reception where players can enjoy a quick snack or finger foods if you choose to bring some for your event.  You will have about 10 minutes before the escape game to enjoy while choosing your team name.  We also have free board games while you wait, if you choose to come early.

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 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 over 8 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.
