Escape Room FAQs
Very little physical effort is required and every room has some chairs if you want to take the weight off your feet and take a break!
We never stop working to improve our rooms and are constantly making small adjustments to ensure they are as much fun as possible. However the majority of the puzzles stay the same so if you've already played a room we recommend trying one of our other games.
The classic concept is being locked in a room with only 60 minutes to escape by solving exciting puzzles, challenges and mysteries. As the games have evolved many Escape Rooms now do not involve being locked in, instead the goal might be to solve a murder or defeat the villain. NB Our rooms include various safety measures in place to ensure players can rapidly exit the room without assistance.
The Escape Rooms are designed for a maximum group size of 6, however we do allow 7 on request, just so long as all players are aware this might result in a little more 'cozy' game experience than usual. Please contact us at mastermind@escapebryggen.no if you'd like to book for a larger group.
Our outdoor and team building games are designed to be played in teams of 2-5 approx.
No. The only people in your room will be your group.
Yes, very. All our rooms rooms are designed with safety in mind and we have a fantastic safety record. All rooms have emergency exits, and game masters monitor the players throughout the experience. If at any point you feel uncomfortable, you can contact the game master or easily exit the room without assistance.
All our games are available both in English and Norwegian (the 'Hanseaticus' Escape Room requires very little knowledge of any language).
We sell a selection of soft drinks. Alcoholic drinks are not allowed on site and we strongly recommend playing whilst sober. We reserve the right to refuse entry or ask players to leave if they have had too much to drink.
Children under the age of 15 need adult supervision. The puzzles themselves are likely to be too difficult for children under the age of ten. Children under the age of 8 may be present in the room/participate in the game (at no extra charge) so long as an 18+ adult is in the room with them at all times (or accompanying them during outdoor games).
We do not offer food on site but have a great deal with Inside Rock Cafe a short walk from Bryggen - 20% off food (plus other discounts) for all Escape Bryggen customers!
Yes! Both the owner of the ledsagerbevis and the ledsager get 20% off (just select the student/child option when booking).
We have one of the most generous and flexible policies in the industry! You only pay for those that play on the day (thought please be aware that our teambuildings games have a minimum price of 10 adult players), and you can cancel for any reason and receive a full refund just so long as we have 24 hours notice (unless otherwise specified). If you cancel within 24 hours there is a 100% cancellation fee.
Unfortunately, due to the age of the building at Bryggen we do not have the ability to receive customers in wheelchairs. Wheelchair access is possible at Strandgaten 7 but please call to discuss your requirements. Our outdoor games are suitable for wheelchair users but please be aware some streets, especially around Bryggen, may be a little uneven/bumpy.
Our Varg Veum room contains some adult elements but is not scary in any fashion. The other rooms are not intended to be scary. You are always able to leave the room without outside assistance. Not all escape rooms have a “locked door”, in cases where they do there will also be a clearly marked emergency key for use in an emergency situation
If you are a registered Norwegian organisation then yes. You can select this option when making a booking (though please be aware there is a small Faktura fee for this). The invoice will be sent shortly after the game is played.
If you can not find a time slot that is suitable please contact us and we will do our best to find a solution that fits.
