FAQs

Wait. What in the world is an escape room?

An escape room is an interactive game where you solve a variety of puzzles and codes to accomplish a goal, whether it is “escaping” from a room or recovering a lost item.

Do I need to know a lot about history to win the game?

Nope! You don’t need to have any knowledge of Indiana history to succeed.

Who should I bring with me to help solve these puzzles?

Friends? Family? A date? We designed these games for history buffs and novices alike, ages 12 and above. We do require one adult for every 3 players under the age of 18.
