Can I watch my friends/family from the monitors or control room?

Quick Answer

Sorry, but no spectators in mission control! Our control room is off-limits to non-participants. We can't have you back there distracting our Game Masters who are busy making sure everyone has an amazing experience, and besides, you might accidentally see other groups in other rooms - talk about spoilers and privacy violations! Plus, our insurance company would have a field day, and we've got some super-secret escape room magic that we can't reveal. Trust us, it's more fun to be in the room with them anyway!

Detailed Information

Why We Can't Allow Control Room Access:

Game Master Focus:

  • Our Game Masters need to concentrate on providing hints and ensuring safety
  • Distractions can impact the quality of experience for your group and others
  • Game Masters are monitoring multiple aspects of the game simultaneously

Privacy Concerns:

  • Multiple rooms are monitored from the same control area
  • Other guests have a reasonable expectation of privacy during their experience
  • We must protect all participants' privacy, not just your group's

Insurance & Liability:

  • Our insurance coverage specifically excludes non-staff from operational areas
  • Control rooms contain sensitive equipment and emergency controls
  • Liability issues arise from having non-participants in restricted areas

Trade Secrets & Intellectual Property:

  • Control rooms contain proprietary information about puzzle mechanisms
  • Viewing how puzzles work from behind the scenes ruins future experiences
  • Our unique game designs and operations are protected business assets

Better Alternatives:

  • Wait in our comfortable lobby area
  • Join the group as a participant for the full experience
  • Celebrate with them after their escape attempt
  • View photos taken after the game

We understand you want to share in the experience, but the best way is to be in the room with them!
