Frequently Asked Questions....
EXPERIENCE
What is an escape room?
It is an interactive problem-solving entertainment in which participants use teamwork and elements of a themed space to find clues and solve a series of puzzles to escape within a set time limit.
How many can play?
Two to seven players per game, 8 at the absolute most in special circumstances. Groups of 4 to 5 are ideal. If you have a larger group, please contact us at (541) 613-6488 for special arrangements. We recommend a team challenge which allows two groups to play back-to-back to vie for the best time.
Will I be grouped with other players?
No. Once you book the room, it is a private booking. You are welcome to book the minimum and bring additional players up to the maximum limit.
Is it scary?
The Scottish Play is set in an old theater with elements from Macbeth without the macabre or blood and gore. Some of our youngest players may be frightened by a few startles. The Ramblin Rogue is set in an 1880’s Western saloon. Nothing scary about that. Both games feature elements of surprise but neither is a fear-based experience.
What are the age limits?
All ages are welcome, but groups with players age 11 or younger must be accompanied by at least one paying and playing adult. Groups of all children ages 12 to 13 may require an adult depending on maturity and ability to follow instructions and comply with rules. Please call 541-613-6488 before booking a game of adolescents.
PRICING AND PAYMENT
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on the number in your group--the more in your group, the more you save! Escape Ashland has always offered private bookings.
2-3 players - $115 flat rate
4 players - $120 flat rate
5-6 players - $30 per adult/$28 per student
7+ players - $28 per adult/$25 per student
Children 7 and under $10 each (for groups of 4 or more)
Please call us about specials and discounts for SOU/RCC students, OSF and OCT employees and birthday special for groups of 7 or more.
What if I want to book a game but not pay for the entire group?
Two options: You can book for the minimum number of players (2) to reserve your time and then the additional players can pay at the door. Due to the fact the pricing is on a per-person sliding scale, we will refund the difference based on the total number of players.
OR please feel free to call us to book, and individual players can pay with Venmo @EscapeAshland.
Still out of your price range?
Book a game on a Tuesday night with 4 or more players and save 15% using our Tuesday special code: Tues15 or call to book.
Do you have birthday specials?
Celebrate that special birthday with a group of friends or family. Book a game with 7 or more players and the birthday player is free! Call 541-613-6488 for details.
COVID-19 SAFETY
What are your COVID-19 safety protocols?
We have limited our group sizes and added healthgrade, CADR-rated air purifiers in our rooms. All touched surfaces are sanitized before and between each game, and paper clues replaced. All of our hosts are fully vaccinated/boosted.
Do you require masks? Not at this time. However, we do ask that any players with upper respiratory symptoms (cold) should not participate or present with a negative COVID-19 test within prior 24 hours and wear a mask in order to protect our hosts and other players.
If your group has special health care concerns, please contact us for accommodations.
ACCESSIBILITY
Is it a challenging game physically?
The games are not demanding physically (no crawling into tight spaces, for example). The Scottish Play has several steps. All of the spaces have chairs/seating available.
Are the games wheelchair accessible?
The Ramblin' Rogue Saloon is wheelchair accessible for wheelchairs up to 30 inches wide with no steps. Some but not all spaces in The Scottish Play are wheelchair accessible. Please call 541-613-6488 for more information.
Are there strobe lights?
There is one light that flashes for a few seconds at The Scottish Play. If you are sensitive, please let us know ahead of time for modifications.
SCHEDULING or HOW TO BOOK
Can I book on-line and is it secure?
Yes, you can book on-line using a link to a secure booking system (Bookeo). Click on the Book Now tab or call (541) 613-6488 to schedule. Games are scheduled approximately every 2 hours from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. weekends, and 11:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. weekdays.
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
There is a link in your email confirmation to allow you to change or cancel your reservation. If you cancel up to 48 hours in advance, we will offer a full refund. If you cancel same day and less than 48 hours and we cannot reschedule, we will offer a credit to a future game.
If you wish to reschedule with less than 48 hours' notice, we will do our best to find a time and will charge a $35 staffing fee.
If you are canceling due to COVID-19 concerns, we will extend a credit if less than 48 hours minus staffing charge of $35.00.
What if none of the times listed work for my schedule?
Call us at (541) 613-6488 to see if we can arrange a game time that works for you and your group. With a bit of advance notice, we can usually make it happen.
What if I would like to bring more than the allowed number of players?
Our games are designed for a specified number of players, and the experience is optimal with the recommended group size; however, we understand that some groups prefer to play together. We can accommodate one to two additional players for The Scottish Play and The Ramblin' Rogue respectively, but players should keep in mind that the game play may be diluted and the rooms will feel more crowded. As an alternative, we can schedule team events and run back-to-back games at the same room or schedule two games at the same time at different rooms. Please call for more information and special pricing for groups of 9 or more.
