No. Most of the game doors are unlocked. The few that are locked have emergency exit buttons. In either case, you’re free to leave the game area at any time.

No, all games are private.

Our team at Cluemaster has collectively played more than 600 escape rooms. Based on that experience, we think that our rooms are somewhat more challenging than average, and our customers generally agree. All of our games have adjustable difficulty, described this way:

Normal: Designed for adults who are new to escape games, and for kids/teens. This is the best fit for about 70% of our customers.
Advanced: Recommended for older teens and adults who have successfully completed about 10+ escape rooms, or who regularly do challenging mental activities.
Expert: Not for the faint of heart! This is our most diabolical (but still fair) challenge for escape room veterans.

We’d love to offer one, but unfortunately, we don’t have enough space in our current location.

As much as we’d love to accept walk-ins, logistical concerns prevent it. Our Game Masters are almost always running a game for another group or cleaning and resetting a room so that we stay on schedule. Our website does not permit same-day bookings with less than 2 hours notice, but we may have availability—please call 480-209-8645 to inquire.

You must arrive at or before the start time listed in your confirmation email. We need this time to brief you on how the game works and to confirm that everyone in your group has signed the required waiver. If you are late, your game may be shortened, or you may be turned away and/or charged a cancellation fee—a single late game delays every group after yours.

Yes, and there’s (usually) no need to call us. As long as your group is still within the minimum and maximum player count for your particular game, we’ll adjust your reservation at check-in, and you won’t be charged for players who couldn’t make it. Please be aware, though, that the per-person price may change if your group size changes.

If you’ve booked multiple rooms and need to cancel some or all of them, you must do so at least 24 hours before your game time to avoid cancellation fees.

Please give us a call at 480-209-8645 if you need to book a game for 9 or more players.

We are a family-owned business, and the majority of our revenue comes from Saturday bookings. Because these time slots are in high demand, we must implement a Saturday minimum in order to keep our employees paid and the doors open.

If there are only two players in your group, we encourage you to join us on any other day of the week for much lower ticket prices.

You may cancel a reservation by clicking on the cancellation link in your confirmation email or by calling 480-209-8645. As long as you cancel at least 24 hours before your game time, you will not be charged. No-shows and cancellations made less than 24 hours prior to game start time are subject to a cancellation fee of $100 per room or the full price of each booking, whichever is less.

If your plans change less than 24 hours before game time, we’ll happily reschedule your game one time at no charge as long as you give us a heads up before your game is scheduled to start. When you call to reschedule, we’ll charge the card on file $100 per room or the full price of each booking, whichever is less. This amount will be applied as a credit when you check in for your rescheduled game.

Gift cards are refundable only within 7 days of purchase. Unopened retail games (excluding shrink wrap) are returnable within 14 days of purchase.

We accept debit/credit cards, PayPal (for gift cards only), Cash App, Venmo, and cash. All bookings must be secured with a credit or debit card. We will not charge your card until you check in for your game, at which time you may pay another way if you prefer. For no-shows and for games cancelled less than 24 hours prior to game time, cards on file will be automatically charged a $100 cancellation fee per booked room or the full price of each booking, whichever is less.

Players under 18 must be supervised by at least one person 18 or older. There are absolutely no exceptions to this policy. Chaperones aren’t required to play (although they’re welcome to!), they just need to be in the building throughout the game for insurance purposes.

Our Game Masters reserve the right to require the adult chaperone(s) to enter the game room to supervise children as needed. In such cases, the chaperone is not required to purchase a ticket.

Children under 6 years old are free of charge—don’t include them if you’re booking online. Tickets for children 6 and older cost the same as an adult ticket.

Yes! Each of our games can accommodate 6–10 players. We’re happy to arrange simultaneous or back-to-back games for large groups—and to provide discounted pricing! Please give us a call at 480-209-8645 to make a reservation for multiple games or for groups of 9 or more.

Maybe! Max is a real dog and he spends some of his time at Cluemaster, offering moral support as needed. He doesn’t keep a regular schedule, but if you really, really want to see him, let us know ahead of time. Max is often busy saving the world, so we can’t guarantee he’ll be available for your game, but we’ll try our best!
