Best Time to Visit

Trust me on this – weekday afternoons are your best bet if you want the full attention of the staff and a more relaxed experience. Early evening slots tend to book up fast, especially on weekends. And if you’re planning to visit during summer break or holiday seasons, you’ll definitely want to reserve your spot at least a few weeks in advance. I’ve seen countless groups get turned away during peak times!

How to Get There

Getting to Just Escape is pretty straightforward whether you’re coming by car or public transport. If you’re driving, there’s plenty of parking available right outside. For those taking public transit, several bus routes stop nearby, and it’s just a short walk from the station. Y’know what’s funny? The first time I came here, I actually drove past it twice – keep your eyes peeled for their logo sign!

Tips for Visiting

Alright, here’s the inside scoop from someone who’s done their fair share of escape rooms. First off, wear comfy clothes – you might need to crawl or reach into tight spaces. Arrive about 15 minutes early to get your briefing and use the restroom (trust me, you don’t wanna waste precious escape time on that!).

Don’t come on a full stomach – the excitement can sometimes make you feel a bit queasy. And here’s something most people don’t think about: bring a hair tie if you’ve got long hair. Nothing worse than having your hair fall in your face while trying to crack a code!

Make sure everyone in your group is ready to participate – this isn’t a spectator sport. The rooms work best when everyone’s engaged and communicating. Speaking of which, listen to your game master carefully during the briefing – they often drop subtle hints that’ll help you later.

Oh, and don’t be afraid to ask for hints if you’re stuck! I used to think it was “cheating” until I realized the hints are actually part of the experience. They’re designed to keep the game flowing and fun, not to give away the whole solution.

For first-timers, I’d recommend starting with their easier rooms before tackling the more challenging ones. It helps you get a feel for how escape rooms work and builds your confidence. Plus, each room has its own unique vibe and puzzle style, so you might discover what type of challenges you enjoy most.

One thing that really sets Just Escape apart is how they’ve designed their puzzles to require different thinking styles. Some are mathematical, others are pattern-based, and some need creative thinking. That’s why it’s great to bring a diverse group – everyone gets their moment to shine!

And hey, don’t forget to take that victory photo at the end (or the “better luck next time” photo – we’ve all been there!). It’s become kind of a tradition, and it’s such a fun way to remember your experience. Plus, sharing it on social media might just inspire your other friends to give it a try!
