Frequently Asked Questions

When will you reopen again?​
Mission Solvers no longer operates out of a physical location. We currently offer escape games at your home or chosen location in and around NYC.

How is Mission Solvers different than other escape rooms?
Unlike other popular escape rooms, our games are geared towards children ages 8-14. With more written clues (many of which use rhymes and riddles), less complex challenges, and kid-friendly themes, children are able to solve puzzles, manipulate objects, and open locks.
 
How are your Mission Solvers games played at my home or chosen location?
For events at your home or chosen location, we offer a variety of Mission Solvers games (see Our Games section for more details). Only your guests will participate when we come to your home. We can include as many players as fit comfortably in your space. We can customize parts of the game for the guest of honor for birthday parties or special events. Our birthday parties also include goody bags.  
 
What ages are appropriate for your games?
We have designed our games for children ages 8-14. There is a level of reading necessary in order to play the game, as well as the ability to work cooperatively with others. If your child is a little younger, but you feel they would be able to understand and fully participate in playing the game, feel free to bring them.
 
 Does my child need any specific skills in order to be successful in solving the Mission?
Participants should be able to read fluently in order to decipher any written clues and puzzles. No other particular skills are necessary as long as they are able to work well with others and have fun!
 
 Are players alone inside the room while playing the game?
We have a Mission Solvers Game Master inside the room with the players at all times, both to be a supervisor and help them to solve the Mission, if necessary. 
 
Are players locked inside the room?
Unlike other escape rooms,  our kid-friendly games do not have players locked inside a room. Instead, participants need to solve their Mission, which does not require being locked inside.

 How long are the Mission Solvers games?
Participants are given 45 minutes to solve the Mission. Of course, some players might be able to complete the game in less time.
