New this year… “The Rustler’s Den” Escape Room

Go back in time to 1895. Sneak into the rustler’s den. Find the gold and get out of there quick before the rustler’s get back! It’s an immersive game where you find clues and solve puzzles to accomplish your mission. Here are the things you will want to know:

The “Rustler’s Den” is a child-friendly room. It is not scary and older children will enjoy it. However, you must have an adult to go through the room. We have found that while children 8+ enjoy the room, they will not escape without at least two adults working with them.
The best size group is 4-6. You are welcome to do it with only three but it will be difficult to accomplish. You can do it with 7+ but the room will be crowded and make it more difficult. It’s up to you though!
