When it comes to planning your next escape, it can be difficult to decide whether you and your group should book your room far out in advance or closer to time. This is a question that we hear from customers frequently as they plan their visits. Ultimately, there isn’t a 100% correct way of planning your next escape experience, however, it can definitely be helpful to book your room in advance.
Typically, we recommend booking in advance because it guarantees the game and time that you want. After all, our most popular games often book in advance, and may not be available if you choose to arrive without a reservation. Likewise, even if the game itself is available, the location may not be able to make the time work to run a game if the staff is already running multiple games at that time. However, both of these problems can be solved by booking your game and time slot in advance.
With all of that being said, you are more than welcome to walk in if that is what works best for you and your group! We never want to discourage our guests from walking in to check out our availability, as oftentimes we will have something we can work out for you. Just keep in mind that availability can change fast, and a game that you see available online may be booked quickly after. Always feel free to give your local Breakout Games a call to check out what they have available for you and your group!
