06 / First time?
Most places are booking-only, and weekend evenings fill up fast. The booking calendar shows which room is free when.
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.
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.
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.
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.
