What we’re about

Looking to join a group to play some escape games in Greater Boston and beyond? Lock yourself in here with us, then!

Never played an escape room before? Never fear! We welcome both the experienced and first timers in our group! It takes all kinds of mindsets for escape rooms, and often new players bring something to the table as much as the experienced do. It's also a great way to meet people and make friends!

For the uninitiated: Escape rooms, or escape games, are exciting hour-long adventure games that take place in rooms full of puzzles and mysteries. You and a squad of people work together to find clues and solve said puzzles, to try and escape before time runs out!

We meet up, have some food and drinks before or after, and have a great time cracking these rooms. Whether you're new or old to escape rooms, try one of our meetups this month!

Our mission is to:

-- Support local escape room businesses
-- Help others find people to play escape rooms with
-- Bring the community together and create friendships

Our group is sponsored by Morty, an app dedicated to tracking, searching and booking escape rooms! Built by enthusiasts for all who love escape rooms! You can join the app right now with this link: https://link.morty.app/meetup

REFUND POLICY
We will try to accommodate refunds, but it's up to the escape room venue. Generally speaking, more than a few days in advance we can handle a refund and within 24 hours it's not possible. To see the exact refund policy for an experience please check the venue's website!

PAYMENT POLICY
Payments are due two weeks before the event starts. We'll send reminders out as the date comes closer. If no payment is made at the two-week mark, you will be removed from the RSVP list to allow room for others to join due to the limited number of spots available.

RULES FOR A SUCCESSFUL ESCAPE ROOM
See Something, Say Something
Communication is absolutely vital for solving an escape room. Most rooms are designed so that everyone can be working on something or discovering something new all at the same time, so if you don’t communicate, you might not catch some missing pieces! Nothing is worse than someone who finds something and just keeps it in their pockets. That slows us down and makes others frustrated.

Don’t Take Over the Room
Leadership is so important, but there’s nothing worse than someone who totally takes over. Not only is this no fun for everyone playing, it’s also going to cause you to make mistakes and slow down your team. If you are the natural leader in your team, that’s great! Just make sure you remember that you need your WHOLE team to succeed.

Pass the Baton
If you’ve been staring at a puzzle for too long and can’t figure out the solution, enlist a fellow team member to help or take over on the puzzle. This helps make sure that puzzles don’t get forgotten, and that there are enough eyes on each unsolved puzzle. This can continue until a few people can’t figure it out – that’s usually a sign that you don’t have all of the information yet (or that you need a hint!).

Be a Contributor, not a Spectator
It’s too easy to be a spectator when interesting progress is being made on a puzzle, but people are more effective when they’re spread out and working on what needs to be done! If there’s only one puzzle open however, by all means let the whole team brainstorm. On the contrary point – if someone is intently focusing on accomplishing a single task (e.g. entering a combo into a school-style combination lock), resist the urge to chime in, or yell over others that are giving the answer to a puzzle.

Silence is Golden (Sometimes)
Sometimes, it’s important to stay quiet when listening for hints, clues, or when narration during the escape room occurs. When this is happening, keep your voice and whatever puzzles you may be trying to solve at a minimum.
