Planning and Booking
How far in advance should I book a birthday party?
As long as there is availability, there is no minimum booking requirement. Each of our rooms are fully equipped to celebrate a birthday party with just one hour notice on weekdays (Monday – Thursday) and zero notice on weekends (Friday – Sunday).
We do advise booking as far out as possible as soon as you know your date and time to ensure you’re able to get the specific timeslot you would like.
Can I book online or do I need to call?
Whichever is more convenient for you:
Our website contains a real-time calendar for each attraction that is updated automatically. A secured payment portal (through the booking company Resova) with options to pay with credit/debit card or with PayPal. And each page leading up to your reservation is packed full of information to ease any worries you may have, while also providing loads of excitement!
But, if you would feel more comfortable making a reservation over the phone, our professional Game Masters and Managers are eagerly waiting to take your call from 9am – 11pm, 7 days a week.
Due to the secure nature of the deposits required for reservations, we are unable to create bookings through e-mail or Facebook messenger.

Many birthday celebrations last an average of 2 hours at our facility, if you choose to bring in outside food. 1 hour for the escape room experience, then 1 hour for celebrations (food, gifts, etc…) in our designated lobby areas.
Food and Party Amenities
Can I bring my own birthday cake?
Yes, you’re welcome to bring a birthday cake. During your game, our staff will keep it safe in our kitchen until your game has ended, at which point we can bring it out to you.
Or if you choose to wait in the lobby, you’re more than welcome to setup the birthday area, cake included, while the birthday participants are in the escape room.
Can I bring pizza, snacks, or drinks?
Yes! You may bring your own cake, snacks and decorations.
Do you provide a private party area?
While the escape game itself is completely private to your group, we have designated areas in our lobby that we use for birthday party setups.
Can we decorate the party space ourselves?
Yes, you’re able to bring banners, streamers, table covers and balloons if you choose to.
Do you provide birthday decorations or party supplies?
For the birthday party packages, we decorate inside the room itself and include a souvenir gift for the birthday person. If you would like to decorate above what we provide, please call ahead of time to coordinate additional decorations to ensure they don’t interfere with the escape room experience.
Our goal is to give you the ability to have an amazing birthday with freedom of creative expression, and to provide a stellar experience in our escape games.
Escape Room Experience
Are your escape rooms appropriate for 12-18 year olds?
Yes! We frequently have children as young as toddlers participate in our escape games. Children age 5 and younger are free to play.
For players 13 and younger a parent or guardian of legal age will need to accompany them into the escape room to prevent potential damage to props and to ensure a smooth game experience.
Will the birthday group have the room to themselves?
Yes, once you create your reservation the room blocks off entirely to other groups, giving you a completely private game with only your family and friends.
What happens if our group doesn't escape?
For the birthday packages we include the “Unlimited Hint” feature so your group is welcome to ask for as many hints as necessary to complete the game. However, if you choose to play at a steady pace and don’t use too many hints, the escape room will run as normal where you have a different ending depending on if you win or lose.
Since the souvenir gift is found inside the room, we have chosen a spot where 98% of players get to with normal play to make sure the birthday person get’s a prize on their special day.
What if some players have never done an escape room before?
That’s no problem at all. Our highly trained Game Masters go over all of the in’s and out’s of our escape games before entry into the room including rules, the story/objective and how to ask for help. You’re also able to ask for hints at any time during the game to keep your team on track to victory!
Do you host birthday parties for adults?
Most definitely! For adults we host birthday parties, gender reveals, anniversary, bachelorette/bachelor parties and we’ve had several wedding proposals in our escape rooms.
We’re constantly looking for new and exciting ways to help our escape rooms bring your special day to life!
Why Choose Lock City Adventures?
Why is an escape room a better birthday party option than a trampoline park or arcade?
While arcades and parks are a fun outing for children and teens, it’s very likely they’ve already done those things before as they’re less of a “special occasion” fun spot and more of a, “let’s go do something casual today” venue.
Escape rooms instead offer players a chance to experience our custom built, one of a kind adventures like they’ve never seen before. From racing to disarm a bomb before it explodes to sneaking around a haunted mansion before the police arrive, the thrills are constant in an escape room and with each puzzle completion more and more fun is unlocked.
So instead of an EXTRA-ordinary birthday, try an EXTRAORDINARY adventure that will leave your guests talking about each twist and turn for weeks if not months to come!
Why do so many families choose Lock City Adventures for birthday parties and outings?
Because this is what we do. Our team is fully dedicated to serving our cherished guests as best as we can, and we work around the clock to make sure your experience only gets better as we grow older as a company (founded in 2018). There will never be a return visit to Lock City Adventures where you say, “Hey, nothing has changed” because for us, it’s about much, much more than money. It’s about you.
