Is the door really locked?

Nope, you are never really locked in. The door closes and the time starts ticking down but you are free to walk out at any point however, the clock does not stop if you exit the room before completing the game.  The takeaway here - it's best to go to the bathroom BEFORE you start.

Is it scary?

No, not really.  Our rooms are exciting but we aren’t a haunted house - no one will sneak up on you or jump out to say “boo”. 

Do I have to be super smart to escape?

An open mind, observation skills and attention to detail will go much farther than a detailed knowledge of quantum physics. You don’t need any outside knowledge to escape the rooms or solve the puzzles. 

How much is it to play?

Pricing is based on the number of players.
1-2 Players: $40 per person

How long will it take?

Plan on spending about 90 minutes at Escape Rooms Southern Maryland.  We ask that you arrive 15 minutes early so we can brief you on your escape room adventure, you then have a full 60 minutes to escape and afterwards we like to allow time for a quick photo and a few mins to answer any questions you have.

How do I book?

Our booking process is easy!  Just click Book Now and choose a date and time for the escape room game you'd like to play.   If you have any questions contact us and we will be happy to help you out. 

Are we going to be grouped with other people?

Nope all games are private. This means that the family and friends you bring with you will be the only ones in the game room.

My group is a little larger than the max capacity of the room. can we still play?

Most likely yes!  Just contact us and we can work with you to figure out the details.

Where should I park?

Parking is located on the street directly in front of our location at 22699 Washington Street, along Fenwick Street or at one of the many public lots around town.  Please allow yourself plenty of time to find parking - spaces fill quickly on the weekends and during special events.

Should I get there early?

Yes, thanks so much for asking!  Please arrive 15 minutes early.  This allows us time to go over the mission brief and important rules and to make sure your game starts on time. 

Ok but what if I’m running late?

We get it – life happens.  If you’re running 5 minutes late we can most likely get you in your game but if its more than that we will most likely have to reschedule your experience.

Is this ok for kids?

We think this is a great family activity and find that kids are great at noticing things that adults may overlook! Kids under the age of 15 must be accompanied by an adult.

Do you do private events?

Of course!  We’d be happy to help you host a birthday, bachelorette party, or team building event.  Contact us to arrange the details.

Can we book outside of normal business hours?

Yes! Contact us and we will be happy to go over the details with you.

I guess my question isn’t frequently asked…

No problem!  Contact us and we will be glad to answer any other questions you may have about your escape room experience.
