FAQ

Frequently asked questions

  • WHAT IS AN ESCAPE ROOM?

    TRAPPED RGV is a fun & new entertainment concept. It is a real-life escape room designed for small groups of people (from 4 to 10 people), with one goal: work together as a team, testing your wits and skills, to escape from a locked room. While the goal is simple, the game is challenging. Getting through the locked door will require finding clues, solving puzzles, cracking codes and working together.

  • IS THERE AN AGE LIMIT?

    Yes, children would have to be 10 or older. Children between 10- 17 years of age, you must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. If you are under 18 and coming without a parent or guardian, please fill out this waiver prior to arriving.

  • DO I NEED TO BOOK IN ADVANCE?

    Yes! We strongly recommend booking a reservation ASAP, because rooms do book fast.

  • WILL I BE PLAYING WITH OTHER PEOPLE?

    No. At Trapped RGV we offer PRIVATE EXPERIENCES. Which means, the room will just be filled with your group. Make the entire booking at one time.

  • WHAT TIME SHOULD MY GROUP ARRIVE?

    Please it is crucial that you arrive 15 minutes prior to your booking time. We keep a very tight & strict schedule, so if you arrive late you may not receive the full 60 minutes in your room.


    Games can start without you if you do not arrive in-time, and no refund will be given.

    Sorry, but we ask that you refrain from taking photos or videos in the escape rooms. We will ask you to place your cell phones and other personal belongings in a secure place we provide before the game starts.
