1. GATHER A GROUP
First, gather your Escape Game players, then book a game online. Arrive 15 minutes early for a short intro from the Gamemaster, then your team is locked in a themed escape room for one hour. Your mission is find the clues, solve the puzzles, and locate the key that will unlock the door before your time is up.
2. SOLVE THE GAME
Your team uses their detective, communication, and critical thinking skills to solve the game together. Your Escape Game is filled with mysterious clues, curiosities, codes, locks, puzzles, and secret nooks. Some are easy to find, others will test your sharpest wits. All of them take you on an exciting and challenging journey to find the Escape Game key.
Amid the flurry of wrifling through clues, figuring puzzles, and frantically working locks, you'll be laughing and shouting with your team to beat the clock. Minds and nerves will be tested as you make a desperate final attempt at the door. Whether you make it out on time or not, it's always high energy and lots of FUN!

The Game
WHAT IS ESCAPE GAME COEUR D'ALENE?
An escape game is a real live interactive adventure game where your group plays as a team inside a themed room with the objective to escape the room within one hour. So, for example, Rob the Mob is one of our games. Your group's mission is to blow open Al Capone's safe and steal the cash. Figure out how to open the secret office, blow open the safe, and escape the room without getting caught. Everything you need to beat the game is contained in the game space itself. So one of you might find a key that opens a box. What you find in the box might lead you closer to stealing the cash and escaping. It’s a blast and you will have a ton of fun!
HOW DOES THE GAME WORK?
Just gather your group of players and come prepared to do some seriously fun detective work. First, the Game Master will do a brief introduction to get you started in your game. When the door is “locked”, the game begins. You notice a variety of strange clues, locks, and odd puzzles around the room - gather them! Next, put your heads together to decipher what you can and link them to each other. For example, one puzzle may give you the code to a locked box with coordinates to progress through the game. It all leads you one step closer to finding the key to escape. Don't worry if you get stuck - clues are available along the way. You'll need to work quickly as a team to accomplish your Escape Game mission before the hour is up. The games are full of challenging brain teasers, amazing discoveries, and frenzied teamwork. At the end of one hour, the Game Master gathers your group for pictures to share with all your friends.
HOW LONG IS EACH GAME?
Each game is designed for 1 hour of intense fun! Plan to spend a total of 90 minutes, which includes 15 minutes before and after with the Game Master and a group photo, if you like.
WILL WE REALLY BE LOCKED IN THE ROOM?
Yes!... sort of. The rooms are equipped with breakaway locks in case of an emergency.
HOW MANY CLUES DO WE GET?
Players control the number of clues they wish to receive in the game, so that each group creates their own gaming experience.
WHAT IS THE LIKELIHOOD OF ESCAPING WITHIN ONE HOUR?
You have a good chance of escaping. Teams that divide and conquer and wisely use their clues are the most successful.
