FAQs

Everything you need to know before you play at GAME OVER Escape Rooms Manassas.

GENERAL QUESTIONS

What is an escape room?

An escape room is an immersive, interactive adventure where your team enters a themed environment and works together to solve puzzles, discover clues, and complete your mission before time runs out. At GAME OVER Escape Rooms Manassas, each room is designed to make you feel like you have stepped into another world.

How long does the experience last?

Each escape room gives your team up to 60 minutes to complete the adventure. Please plan for additional time before and after the game for check-in, your Game Master briefing, and the post-game experience.

What time should we arrive?

We recommend arriving 15 minutes before your scheduled game time so your group has enough time to check in, complete any necessary waivers, and receive your game briefing.

What happens if we arrive late?

Our games operate on a strict schedule. If you arrive late, your game time may be reduced, or you may not be able to play if we can no longer accommodate your group without affecting other reservations. If you are running late, please call us as soon as possible at 703-881-8277.

I've never played an escape room before. Can I get help?

Yes. We use an Auto Help system, which is available throughout your game whenever you need assistance. You can request help every 5 minutes. Before your game begins, your Game Master will explain how the system works and go over everything you need to know.

How difficult are the escape rooms?

Each adventure offers a different level and style of challenge. Some groups may move quickly while others may need help along the way. That is all part of the experience. Check the individual room descriptions or ask our team if you need help choosing the best room for your group.

Will we be playing with people we don't know?

No. Your escape room experience is private to your group. You will not be placed in a room with strangers.

Are we actually locked inside the room?

No. Your safety always comes first. You may leave the room if necessary during the experience. The game clock will continue to run.

Can we take photos or videos inside the escape room?

Photos and videos are not permitted during gameplay. This helps protect the puzzles and surprises for future players. There will be an opportunity for photos after your experience.

What should we wear?

Come comfortable and ready to play. We recommend comfortable clothing and secure footwear that allows you to move around easily.

Do you have any tips for first-time players?

Communicate with your team, share what you find, and use the Auto Help system whenever you need assistance. Sometimes the smallest detail can make the biggest difference. Most importantly, have fun.
