The year is 1997. You are in the bedroom of Kat and Bianca. The girls used to be close growing up, but have drifted apart in their teenage years.
Tonight there is a big party. Everyone is going to be there. It was rumored in school that Bianca's crush was going to be there and Kat’s band, Something-something Explosion, was going to play at the party. However, earlier that day, the girls had a huge fight. Their parents sent both of them to their room and locked them in.
Now, you need to help them make up and find a way to escape their room to get to the party.

Yes, our rooms are kid friendly with our most family-friendly room being Left At Home, but our recommended age for players is 10 and up (with adult participation).
No, we require adult supervision for children under the age of 18. We ain't yo' baby sitter!
Our games have a time limit of 60 minutes. ...or longer if you get stuck in there and can't find your way out, but we've only had a few groups to be lost for all eternity.
That could mean a couple different things:
1. At times, our staff is "on-call." So in order to have happy and not super-stressed employees, many of our bookings close 1.5 hrs before start time. There is a chance that a happy staff member may be present at the facility, so you can call and see if a slot is available.
2. The booking is completely full and you'll need to book for another time.
Most of the time, no. But sometimes if a staff member is around and no booking is going on, we may be able to squeeze you in.
Unless you book a private room, there is a chance you will be paired up with other people. This is more likely on weekends. But don't fret! They are there to have fun just like you, and according to made-up studies, 83% of life-long friendships are formed in Escape Rooms.
