FAQ

What is an escape room?

An escape room is a physical adventure game where players must use teamwork and creative thinking to escape from the room or achieve their mission within a specified time limit. Escape Room Era has many clues, puzzles, and riddles that will challenge both the beginner and the experienced player. Surprises abound, too! The best way to find out how fun an escape room experience is, is to come experience Orange County's #1 Escape Room with your friends, family, co-workers, or date-today!
