General

An escape room is an immersive, live experience where your group enters a themed environment filled with puzzles, clues, and interactive challenges. Your objective is to work together, uncover hidden information, and solve the experience’s mysteries before time runs out.
At Off The Couch, our experiences go further — each chapter is part of a 12-part story, meaning every visit builds on the last.
  • Monday – Thursday: 12:00 pm – 10:00 pm
  • Friday: 12:00 pm – 12:00 am
  • Saturday: 9:30 am – 12:00 am
  • Sunday: 9:30 am – 10:30 pm
Need a booking outside these hours? Contact us — we accommodate special requests depending on availability.
Never. Every session at Off The Couch is completely private — only your group will be in the experience. We do not combine groups or allow strangers to join your booking.
No. You are free to exit at any time. We encourage staying in the experience to preserve immersion and story flow — but your safety and comfort always come first.

Safety & Experience Guidelines

Safety is a priority for both guests and staff. Our standards include:

  • Waivers are required for all participants, completed online from your booking confirmation email or in person when you arrive
  • All spaces are regularly cleaned and reset between sessions
  • Hand washing is encouraged before and after gameplay
  • Staff are trained to support safe and comfortable experiences
Each experience is fully reset and cleaned between every booking — including all interactive and commonly handled items. You’re always starting in a fresh environment.
All guests must be sober during the experience for safety and gameplay integrity.
If a group arrives intoxicated, participation may be denied without refund.

Yes, this is often a common request! You can bring additional players, however groups that significantly exceed the listed capacities may experience “too many cooks in the kitchen”. We may recommend booking more than one experience and separating into different teams.
