## Everyone brings something

In an escape room the grandkids are quick to spot things and fearless about trying ideas, while grandparents read carefully, remember what everyone found, and keep the team calm when the clock is running. Neither side can do it alone, and that is exactly what makes the hour special.

Instead of watching the kids play, you are on the same team, working on the same problem, and celebrating the same win.

- Private to your family
- Hints whenever you ask
- Kids 12 and under: $29.99
- Games every day from 11 AM

## Picking a room for your crew

Diamond Heist is our most approachable room and the easiest place to start with younger kids. Pirates Quest suits treasure hunters who want more of a challenge. The Wonderland Cube is a smaller room for 2 to 4, a good fit for one grandparent and a couple of grandkids. Skip The Haunting if anyone scares easily.

Bringing little ones? Call (865) 366-1409 with their ages and we will help you choose.

## A day with the grandkids in Pigeon Forge

Games start from 11 AM every day, so a morning game leaves the rest of the day for lunch and the Parkway. Every game is private, so the pace is yours: stop to explain a clue, let the youngest try the next lock, and cheer every door that opens.

## Make a day of it

We are a block off the Parkway on East Wears Valley Road, about 5 miles from both Dollywood and Sevierville, so a game fits around the rest of a family day.

## Questions we hear

### How young can the grandkids be?

It depends on the child and the room. Call (865) 366-1409 with your grandkids' ages and we will tell you which room fits best.

### Is it scary?

Only The Haunting has a spooky theme. The other rooms are a diamond heist, a pirate treasure hunt, Wonderland, a mad scientist's lab, and a team-versus-team race.

### Do I need to keep up with the kids?

No. The game is won with ideas, not speed. Most of the hour is looking, reading, and talking it through, and your game master gives hints whenever your team asks.

### What if we don't finish?

Ask for hints. Our game masters are there to help your team finish, and asking is part of the fun, not a sign you are losing.

### How much does it cost?

$36.99 per person and $29.99 for kids 12 and under, with tax and fees added at checkout. Booking ahead online earns our Plan & Save discount, and after your game your group receives a discount code for another room booked the same day.

### Can we book the same day?

Yes, when a room is free. Online booking stays open until 2 hours before each start time, and you can always call (865) 366-1409.

### What should we bring?

Comfortable clothes and your glasses if you wear them. Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early; everyone signs a short digital waiver before playing, so call us if you have questions about signing for the grandkids.
