Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before you play
What is an escape room?
It's a live game where your group enters a themed room and has a limited time to solve puzzles, find clues and complete a mission by working as a team.
How many people can play?
It depends on the room: Breadcrumbs takes 2 to 6 players, New Hotel Russell 2 to 7 and The Secret Treasure (hall escape) 2 to 10. If you are more than 7, we have special group options: two rooms at once, experiences at your venue or the hall escape (see the question about large groups).
Can children play?
Yes, accompanied by an adult. Breadcrumbs is our most family-friendly room; the others can also be enjoyed as a family by adjusting the clues. We also have monitors who accompany children throughout the session, guiding them and helping them with the puzzles so they enjoy it to the fullest.
What options do you have for large groups (more than 7 people)?
📍 OPTION 1: Two rooms at once at our venue
We split you into two groups playing in different rooms (Breadcrumbs and New Hotel Russell), starting at exactly the same time, with the same duration and difficulty so you compete on equal terms. If you are 15 or more, we split you into 3 groups: two go into the rooms and the third plays our Hall Escape.
⏱️ Duration: 90 minutes of play + the introduction. 💰 Price: €23 per person.
🚐 OPTION 2: At your venue (we come to you!)
We bring the game to your space (a travel supplement applies outside Marbella town).
• 📦 Portable Hall Escape: a very dynamic puzzle format. About 60 minutes. Price: €350 (total for the group).
• 🎭 Live Cluedo (Themed Experience): an immersive 2 to 3 hour adventure where you are the protagonists. Price: €30 per person.
🏴☠️ OPTION 3: "The Secret Treasure" Hall Escape at our venue
The whole group plays together in our pirate adventure: 60 minutes to open the five chests. Up to 10 people, from €152 for 8 people to €190 for 10 (total for the group).
⚠️ Important: on weekends and public holidays, as these are such large groups, we can only offer these options in the morning or in the last slot of the day. Message us on WhatsApp at +34 722 384 292 and we'll organise it.
How long does it take?
The game lasts 60 or 90 minutes depending on the room, plus about 15 minutes of introduction. Book with enough margin to arrive on time.
Do I need previous experience?
Not at all. You only need observation, logic and the will to have fun. The game master is with you throughout the game.
How much does it cost?
The price is per group and drops the more of you there are: from around €19-23 per person. You'll see the exact price when choosing room and number of players.
Do I have to arrive early?
Yes, arrive 5 minutes early for the introduction and to start on time. If you're late, play time may be shortened.
Can I pay only part when booking?
Yes. Depending on the room you can pay the full amount or just a deposit when booking online and pay the rest on the day.
What happens if I book the escape room for four people but there end up being more or fewer players?
A booking for the escape room is for between 2 and 6 people. If you’ve booked for 4 but end up with more or fewer people, that’s fine. You simply pay the difference at the venue, or we’ll issue a refund if there are fewer players.
Can you hold a birthday party in the escape room?
We love having groups come in to celebrate their birthdays, but our venue only offers the escape room experience, which lasts approximately 90 minutes.
We do not host afternoon tea, lunch or dinner parties. This is because the venue is not equipped for such events, nor do we hold a licence for these purposes.
In which languages are our escape rooms available?
Our escape rooms are available in both English (€10 surcharge) and Spanish.
When booking, you can choose the language in which you’d like to play.
If you’re more comfortable reading English than Spanish, we recommend playing in English.
Can children go to our escape rooms on their own?
Yes. For groups of minors only (aged 8 to 15), a monitor accompanies them throughout the game: guiding them, helping with the puzzles and adapting the experience so they enjoy it to the fullest. The monitor is mandatory for these groups and costs an extra €10; you choose it when booking.
Is the room scary or full of jump scares?
No. Our rooms are not horror rooms and have no jump scares. Breadcrumbs is a fantasy room suitable for families, and the rest are adventure and investigation rooms. You can play with complete peace of mind.
Can I play if I suffer from claustrophobia?
Yes. We never lock you in: the door can always be opened and a game master follows the game. If you have any concerns, tell us when booking and we'll explain.
What is a themed night, murder dinner or live whodunit?
It's an experience where you step into a character and live a story first-hand —usually a mystery or a murder— over a lunch, snack or dinner. You and your group investigate to find the culprit.
What kind of dinner is it? Can I choose the menu? What about intolerances?
We coordinate the catering with you depending on the format and the location of the event. Tell us the group's intolerances or allergies when arranging the evening and we'll take them into account.
How do I play my character?
There are no scripts to memorise. We give you your character and the information you need, and our team guides the evening at all times. Just go with it.
How long is a themed night?
It usually lasts between 1.5 and 2 hours, combined with the lunch or dinner. The exact length depends on the format and the size of the group.
Where is it played or held?
At our venue in central Marbella, or at your location: we bring the experience to your home, a venue or your event in Marbella, Málaga and the surrounding area.
What if my group is small or I'm on my own?
Message us and we'll let you know about open sessions or dates where you can join another group. We also adapt the experiences to small groups.
