Quite the opposite, the thrill breaks the ice and gives you instant talking points. No awkward silences over the menu. ### Can we play a room as a duo? Yes, and it makes it more intimate. As a duo it's a bit tougher, our game master helps with well-timed hints. ### Which room is romantic and not too scary? For a date we often recommend The Time Jump or The Lost Package: adventurous and atmospheric, no horror or real scares. Unsure? Give us a call, we'll help. ### How many people can join? Our escape rooms play with 2 to 7 people per room. For larger groups we run multiple rooms in parallel or combine with an outdoor game, up to 150 people. ### Can we eat or drink before the game?
