Nope. Not at Escape This. We suggest you book with another escape rooms operator if you're wanting a Gamesmaster to stand in the corner and talk you through every clue and puzzle.

Bring on the challenge! In these rooms, the clues are generally easy to find, but solving them can be challenging, while still offering plenty of fun and excitement. Recommended for players who've experienced an escape room before, but still great for beginner-level escapers up for a bit more of a challenge. These rooms are also great for an evening of fun with friends or family and birthday celebrations where there's mixed levels of escape room experience in the group.

Now it's getting tricky. Here, puzzles are slightly more complex but are still solvable for most players. The focus is still on fun, interactivity, and immersiveness... but with some added challenge thrown in for good measure. We'll be hiding clues, nothing in plain sight, and throwing more complex puzzles at you, so pack your thinking cap! These rooms provide an outstanding balance between completing the game without too much frustration and giving players a thrilling experience. Highly recommended for date nights, bachelor/bachelorette parties, corporate events, and team building activities where you really want to put your team's problem solving skills to the test.

These are tough! For players who crave a real mental challenge, these are the rooms for you. Typically featuring complex puzzles that require deep thinking and problem solving skills to escape the room within the time limit. Advanced escape room adventures offer an exciting challenge for those looking for something extra difficult and rewarding when it comes to their entertainment options. All types of puzzles are mixed and matched to form combination puzzles requiring high brain power. A larger group of adventurers or a few escape room experts looking for a difficult challenge can come together to solve these rooms, and we highly recommend these for escape room enthusiasts and adventurers who are looking for new and difficult challenges.
