Frequently asked questions
Is this an escape room in Hemet?
It is an outdoor, escape-room-style game played on your phone around Hemet. Instead of a locked room, you follow clues between 11 stops, including the Historic Hemet Theatre and Chappies, and solve puzzles in what you see to outsmart the witch. Play as a team or solo against the leaderboard.
Where does it start and how long does it take?
The game starts at Hemet Public Library and covers about 2 km on foot. Most groups take around 90 minutes, depending on how quickly you solve the puzzles. You can pause at any point and continue later.
Do we need to book a time slot, and can our group play together?
There is no booking slot. You start whenever you like, with no guide and no other groups. One ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated, so friends, families or work groups can play together.
Is it suitable for kids?
The quest details do not set an age. The puzzles are escape-room style and the route is about 2 km over roughly 90 minutes, so it suits kids and teens who enjoy problem solving and can manage the walk. Younger children will likely need help from adults.
