What precautions are you taking for COVID-19?
Safety is our #1 priority here at The Escape Artist. We are following all CDC guidelines, and have established the following practices:
What is an Escape Room?
How many people can play in a room?
Our aim is to maximize fun and keep everyone engaged during game play. So we limit the people per room.
COVID-19 Capacity Restrictions for King County Phase 2:
For 13th Floor: There is a minimum of 2 people and maximum 5 people.
For Trapped in space: There is a minimum of 2 people and maximum 5 people.
For Spell Struck: There is a minimum of 2 players and maximum of 5 players.
For Dive to Atlantis: There is a minimum of 3 players and maximum of 5 players.
How long is the game?
Actual game play is 60 minutes (up to 70 minutes for Dive to Atlantis!), but it is recommended you arrive 15 minutes early for briefing, and may stay 10 minutes late for debriefing, celebrating, and taking a team photo. COVID-19 Provision: Please arrive 5min early, as the lobby door will remain locked until 5min prior to your booking start time.
I only want to play with my friends, what do I do?
All of our rooms are private! That means only your team will play! When booking, simply select the number of players that you will have on your team, and they will be the only players you see!
What skills do we need?
Do I need to bring anything?
Minimum age?
The game is for ages 11 to 100+. However, everyone 17 years and under needs to have a waiver signed by a parent/guardian. For children under 12, a parent/guardian must accompany them.

How can I pay?
Do you have gift cards?
Is there a cancellation policy for individual tickets?
Yes, there is. At The Escape Artist, all sales are final, which means no refunds. Please be aware of that our game is a live event, so once the booking is confirmed, refunds and cancellations are not accepted.
What if we are running late?
Please plan to arrive 10-15 minutes prior to game start, so that the game can begin on time. If you arrive after the official start time, your game time will be shortened accordingly, as there will be other games after yours. COVID-19 Provision: Please arrive 5min prior to your booking start time, as our lobby door will remain locked until 5min prior.
Can I sign the waiver ahead of time?
Absolutely! We attach a link to your confirmation email, and highly encourage you to sign it ahead of time! You can also download and print the waiver from here. If not, no worries, as we have a contactless system in our lobby where you can sign on your own personal mobile device.
Is your room wheel chair accessible?
If I don't book a full room, will there be anyone else playing the game with me?
No! All of our experiences are private! We have a tiered pricing system if you do not purchase all of the tickets, but you will never play with strangers!
Can I take pictures or videos in the room?
Can you give me hints?
What if I have more questions?
We would love to answer them! Email us at info@goescapeartist.com!
