If you are unsure if this activity is right for you or have any additional questions you would like to ask, please reach out to us. We would love to hear from you.
Q. How early should I book?
Generally speaking, the sooner, the better. We accept last minute orders but if you have a specific date in mind, let us know to secure it for you. Generally, we require 24 hours notice, but get in touch if you need one sooner!
Q. Do you have a cancellation policy?
Yes. The sooner you let us know you would like to cancel, the better. If you end up cancelling a booking less than 24 hours prior to the set date, you will be reimbursed for %50 of the charge.
Q. Where do I pick up the box from?
Captured Escape Rooms are located at 1684 Barrington St Suite 400, Halifax, NS B3J 2A2. You can pick up the box from them during regular office hours. Give them a call at (902) 422-2224.
Q. Does the box fit in a car?
Yes! Each box is roughly 25x20x25 inches and will fit in a standard car trunk or the back seat. For example, we have fit the box in its case into the trunk of a small hatchback.
Q. What should I do if the box breaks?
Our games are made from durable materials and should not break with reasonable use. We recommend the "finger rule"—if a piece doesn't move when pushed with one finger, it's not supposed to move! If an accident occurs, and a piece of the box breaks while playing, please call us and let us know. Do not attempt to repair the box yourself.
