A: • You are purchasing tickets to a live-action event. Therefor, all sales are final. There are no refunds or exchanges.

A: In general, these games are designed for adults and recommended for ages 14 and up – some younger children might find the clues to be too difficult.

Our policies regarding children are:

• Children ages 9 to 13 are not permitted at Escape Room LA unless you are booking one of our special weekend kids games, or booking the whole room for your group only. Other groups of adults may not wish to play these games with young children.
• Children ages 13-16 must be accompanied inside the room by an adult (18+).
• Anyone under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian sign a release of liability waiver. This waiver will be provided when checking in, or can be downloaded in advance here.

 Regardless of age, all participants must have a ticket.
• Children under age 14 are not permitted at The Pyramid.
• Our events are not appropriate for children under the age of 9.

Kid-friendly version of The Theatre, The Detective and The Cavern are available for kids ages 9-13. Click here for more info.

A: Depending on the game capacity, a total of up to 12 people will be admitted to the room at one time. If you purchase fewer than the maximum number of tickets, most likely other people will also be in the room with you.

If you wish to have a room for your group only, you have two options:

1. Click the “Private event – book entire game” checkbox. You can purchase any number of tickets – the more you purchase, the lower the total price will be. Please remember that our games are designed for larger groups and will be much more challenging if you book a private game for only 2- 4 players.

2. Purchase all tickets for the room capacity for the game you wish to attend. You do not need to have the maximum number of participants, but you do need to pay for the full room.
