Escaperoom
Escaperoom is a common term for a challenge where a team is given an assignment, and has one hour to solve the assignment in one (or more) rooms that are designed for the theme and the assignment.
The mission can be to find something that is hidden, steal an object, save someone / themselves or escape from the room.
You have to work together to solve a number of tasks and find secret objects, functions, etc. to finally complete your mission.

F.A.Q - Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Are we locked in the rooms?
A: Many people associate escaperooms with being trapped and having to escape, but for safety reasons you are never trapped with us. The door to the room itself is never locked, but the door from the corridor and on to the rest of the premises is locked with an electromagnet to prevent unauthorized access. There is a large and clearly visible emergency opener by the door that you can press in at any time to unlock the door if you have to go out, in addition to the magnet will automatically release in the event of a fire alarm or power failure.
Q: Can one be more than the maximum number stated for the room?
Oh no. We never let more than the maximum number in the room. The rooms are designed with a maximum number, both in terms of the number of tasks, but also due to the size of the room in terms of air, mobility and safety.
Q: Can't we just have one more person?
Oh no.
Q: Pliiis?
A: No, unfortunately. If there are several of you, we recommend that you divide into groups that try each time, or divide into different rooms at the same time.
Q: Are the escaperooms scary?
A: Unless the room is designed around a scary theme, there is no reason for anything to be scary. We want people to have fun, not be unnecessarily intimidated. Those who want a scary experience can book rooms with a scary theme.
Q: If the players are under 16, must an adult be present?
A: Yes, an adult must be present. This is both to be able to help with the most difficult tasks, but also to ensure that there is no damage to equipment or the room.
Q: Can pregnant women participate?
A: Absolutely. There are no physically demanding tasks that everyone has to go through, most tasks require much more brain capacity than muscles.
Q: Can you participate if you are dependent on a wheelchair?
A: Yes, we try to design the rooms so that they can be used by as many people as possible. There may be some tasks that are difficult or impossible for someone in a wheelchair, so you should bring someone who does not need a wheelchair who can perform these.
Q: Is it allowed to participate if you have drunk alcohol?
A: No. We never let people in who have drunk alcohol. This is due to security both for the participants and for the contents of the rooms. You need a clear head to succeed, and alcohol will certainly not help you.
Q: Where do you get the rooms from?
A: We make them 100% ourselves to ensure customers a unique experience they can not get anywhere else.
Q: Does it matter if we arrive late?
A: Oh yes. We often have bookings one after the other, and if you are late we will have to deduct time from your group, so that the next group is not delayed. You must show up 10-15 minutes before the start time, so that you can undergo a briefing and, if needed, go to the toilet before you are sent on your assignment.
Q: We booked for 3, but then 2 friends want to join. What do we do then?
A: No problem - then they pay upon arrival. But make sure that you do not invite more than the maximum number for the room you have booked.
Q: How to book and pay?
A: Advance bookings are booked and paid for in our booking system. At drop-in, it is paid directly at the desk. It is also possible to come to us to book for a future date and pay at the desk.
Q: I want to book, but pay at the desk upon arrival. Is it okay?
A: No, unfortunately. Booking must be paid online when booking. The reason for this is that we have unfortunately experienced that some people do not show up for their booking, and then we lose a lot of money, since we have had to say no to other customers who may have wanted to book the time. It is only possible to pay at the desk at drop-in, if it is available, or if you book and pay at the desk for a future date.
Q: We want to book for a company or organization. Can we get an invoice?
A: Yes, we can invoice a company or organization, as long as you send us a request with invoice information etc. We need a minimum organization number, and send by EHF or email. We can not invoice individuals.
Q: What is Stipe? Can I not pay by card?
A: Stripe are payment intermediaries in the same way as Nets, BBS and Vipps. You pay with your bank card through them, they process the payment. You do not need to create an account there.
Q: I have to cancel or rebook my booking. Do I get a refund?
A: According to the cancellation policy that you must accept when booking and paying online:
If you cancel Escaperoom less than 7 days before the scheduled time, you will be refunded payment minus a fee of NOK 200.
If you cancel Escaperoom less than 48 hours before the booked time, the payment is non-refundable.
If you cancel Escaperoom more than 7 days before the scheduled time, you will be refunded the entire payment.
We have to have these reservations in order to keep the operation of Escaperoom. You book a time, which is then blocked so that others cannot book it, and some days we have to bring in extra staff to receive groups that have booked Escaperoom. Thus, we get both lost income and in some cases extra costs if groups does not show up.
Q: I want to pay for the booking with a gift card - is it possible?
A: Yes and no. Gift cards purchased at the desk (characterized by the fact that they have a barcode in the middle) can not be redeemed via the online booking system, but must be used at the desk. Gift cards purchased online after (characterized by a zebra-like background) can be used both online and at the desk. Bodø Sentrum gift cards can only be paid for physically at the desk, and will not be able to be used online for the same reason as desk bought gift cards. Get in touch via the contact form if you need help with gift cards.
