06 / First time?
Five things to know before your first room
Book ahead
Most places are booking-only, and weekend evenings fill up fast. The booking calendar shows which room is free when.
Private room or mixed group?
Some places may team you up with strangers unless you book the whole room. If you only want your own crew, look for a private booking.
Get there a little early
Most places run a short briefing first and ask you to sign a waiver. Arrive late and it usually comes out of your game time.
Don’t be shy about hints
The game master is watching and will give you a hint when you’re stuck. It doesn’t make the win smaller, just the mood better.
Kids or horror: check the rules
Age limits differ by venue and by room. We list what each venue publishes, but double-check on their own site before you go.
We collected these details from each venue’s own website, booking system and local press on September 26, 2026. Prices, rooms and hours change, so always check the venue’s site before you book.
