Frequently asked questions
Is this an escape room in El Paso?
It is an outdoor escape-room-style game played on your phone in downtown El Paso. Instead of a locked room, you follow clues from one real location to the next and solve puzzles based on what is in front of you, with no fixed time slot to book.
How long does the game take?
Plan for about 90 minutes to walk roughly 2 km and solve the puzzles at 11 stops. There is no countdown clock you have to beat, and you can pause the game and continue later if you want a break.
Where does it start and which places does it visit?
The game starts at The Plaza Theatre and leads you through downtown past San Jacinto Plaza, the Federal Reserve Bank, El Paso City Hall, the O. T. Bassett Tower and Starr Western Wear, finishing at the Hotel Paso Del Norte.
Is it based on the Oz story?
Yes. The narrative is newly written and inspired by L. Frank Baum's original Oz novel from 1900. You team up with a band of misfits to outsmart the witch, and original Oz-themed songs made for the game play in the app and stay available after you get home.
Can we play as a group, or on our own?
Both work. One ticket covers your whole group, so friends or family can solve the puzzles together and start whenever suits you. Solo players can take on the witch's challenges alone and compare their result on the leaderboard.
