  • Here at Chapel Thrill Escapes we are committed to creating an experience that is accessible to all. We strive to provide an inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone who wishes to enjoy our escape rooms.

    We understand the importance of accessible booking options. Our online booking system is designed to be user-friendly and compatible with screen readers.

    We want to ensure our physical locations are designed to be accessible to all players. We have taken measures to ensure that our escape rooms are wheelchair accessible, and that a wheelchair accessible path and entrance are available. We understand that individuals may have sensory sensitivities. Our escape rooms are designed to be engaging while avoiding overwhelming sensory experiences. Our current room utilizes audio and visual cues in small aspects of the escape room experience which may prove challenging to those that are hard of hearing or sight. Some aspects of the puzzles present in the room may utilize colors that may be difficult for those with colorblindness.

    We are continuously working to improve the accessibility of our escape rooms. If you have specific concerns or requests related to accessibility support, please contact us at admin@chapelthrillescapes.com, and we will work to make appropriate accommodations.

HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR ESCAPE ROOM VISIT

1. Plan Ahead and Dress Comfortably

  • Arrive Early: Aim to arrive 15-20 minutes before your scheduled time to check in, get settled, and hear the pre-game briefing.

  • Wear Comfortable Clothes: Choose clothes that are comfortable and allow for movement.

  • Footwear: Wear closed-toed shoes (preferably sneakers) for safety and comfort.

2. Leave Personal Items Behind

  • No Phones Inside: Most escape rooms don’t allow phones in the game area. Leave your phone in your bag or in a designated area (storage space will be provided).

  • Bags and Large Items: Avoid bringing large bags or valuables. Many rooms will provide storage.

3. Focus on Teamwork and Ask for Hints (if needed)

  • Communicate: Share your thoughts, findings, and ideas with your team. Escape rooms are all about collaboration.

  • Stay Positive: Be patient with your teammates and stay calm—keep the atmosphere fun and supportive.

  • Don’t Hesitate to Ask: If your team gets stuck, ask for hints from the game master. It’s better to get help than to waste valuable time.

4. Be Ready for Surprises and Enjoy the Experience!

  • Expect the Unexpected: Escape rooms often have surprises—hidden compartments, unexpected twists, and clues in unusual places. Keep an open mind.

  • Think Creatively: Sometimes the solution to a puzzle is right in front of you, but requires creative thinking. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box.

  • Focus on Fun: The goal is to have fun with your team. Whether you escape or not, enjoy the challenge, the teamwork, and the thrill of solving puzzles together.

  • Post-Game Discussion: After the game, take a moment to talk about what worked well, what was tricky, and what surprised you!

5. Important Reminders

  • No Physical Force: Always solve puzzles with your brain, not your muscles. Don’t move heavy objects or try to break anything.

  • Time Limit: Most escape rooms have a 60-minute time limit. You'll receive reminders as time runs out.

  • Safety First: If you feel uncomfortable or need help at any point, let the game master know—they’re there to help.
