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 will be booked fast. Remember there are only 8 slots per room, so they will book fast. We do not take bookings in person. You MUST book your room in advance prior to arriving at our building for only $25/person online, so please book now here: Book A Game

  • WILL I BE PLAYING WITH OTHER PEOPLE?

    If your group doesn’t book all of the available spots in an escape room it will stay available for other groups to book as well. You could possibly be paired with another group. If you want to book an entire room and be the only group playing, you will need to purchase the maximum capacity for that specific game room.

  • 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.

  • CAN I TAKE PHOTOS OR VIDEO WHILE PLAYING THE ESCAPE GAMES

    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.

  • CAN YOU ACCOMMODATE LARGE PARTIES OR CORPORATE EVENTS?

    Yes! We accommodate large parties, birthdays and corporate groups frequently, and rooms can be reserved. If you would like help booking your large group event or would like to rent out our facility at a premium, please email us at booking@trappedrgv.com to receive a custom quote.

  • HOW LONG IS EACH GAME?

  • AM I REALLY GOING TO BE "TRAPPED" AND LOCKED INSIDE A ROOM?

  • WHAT HAPPENS IF WE DON'T ESCAPE?

    We will be monitoring your progress throughout the escape game. Our game masters will provide clues if you get stuck — after all, we want you to have fun! It’s not just about escaping the room, it’s about the full live experience.
