As of May 14, 2021 and until further notice, fully vaccinated people can go without masks at 21 Keys. Unvaccinated people over age 11 are encouraged to continue wearing masks. Our employees are given the option whether they want to wear masks. This is in accordance with CDC and Colorado Governor Polis' most recent guidelines. More information can be found here.

 

At 21 Keys Escape Rooms, the health and safety of our guests and employees is extremely important to us. To ensure guest safety, we are taking the following precautions:

- We are staggering escape room start times by at least 30 minutes, which minimizes your exposure to other customers in the building.

- Our game rooms, lobby, and restrooms are thoroughly DISINFECTED regularly.

- HAND SANITIZER is provided throughout our facility.

- Helpful signs encourage everyone to participate in good hygiene.

- Our employees are provided proper gloves and cleaning supplies.

Yes, as long as you don't exceed the room's maximum occupancy. You can either pay for additional people when you arrive, or give us a call to pay in advance.

If you need to make a large group reservation, please contact us to arrange for a special event!

 

Yes! Our games are designed to be family-friendly, but please keep in mind, the puzzles are geared toward adults and young adults. To ensure a fun and safe experience for everyone, here are our guidelines:

Teens 16 and 17 must be accompanied by an adult who has signed the waiver, but the adult does not need to purchase a ticket or enter the room.

Anyone under 16 must be accompanied by a paying adult who has signed the waiver and will be present in the room at all times. As always, maximum room occupancy rules will apply.

Children 5 and under are free, however they DO count toward to total number of people in the room. Maximum room occupancy rules will apply. (Infants in a carrier are the exception and do NOT count toward the total number of people in the room.)

 

We are happy to celebrate with you, but we do not have a party room, nor a kids'-specific room. Please remember, teens 16 and 17 must be accompanied by an adult who has signed the waiver, but the adult does not need to purchase a ticket or enter the room. Anyone under 16 must be accompanied by a paying adult (over 18) who will be present in the room at all times. As always, maximum room occupancy rules will apply.

 

Please arrive at least 10 minutes ahead of your scheduled time to fill out the waiver and listen to our safety and game briefing. Your experience will start promptly at your scheduled time. DO NOT BE LATE! If you arrive late, your booking will not be refunded or rescheduled.

 

Yes, but the time you have to escape may need to be reduced. For example, if your reservation begins at 8pm and you enter the room at 8:10pm because you arrived late, you will only have 50 minutes to escape, instead of 60 minutes. No refunds or rescheduling will be offered for late arrivals or no-shows. Please take traffic into account and map us out before so there aren’t any surprises!

 

Yes! Gift vouchers are available in $30, $60, $120, $240, and $300 increments. Simply click on "Gifts" in the menu bar to purchase a voucher that you can print or email to the recipient.

 

Please click on "Rooms" in the menu bar, then choose your escape adventure, date, and time. You'll enter your 6-digit voucher code during the 3rd step of checkout.

 

Bring a sense of adventure, your friends, and a desire to challenge yourself! Also, you’ll be on your feet for an hour, so wear comfortable shoes.

 

Yes, each participant will be asked to sign a waiver (Non-Disclosure, Accident Waiver, and Release of Liability) before entering the room. This releases 21 Keys Ltd and any of its partners or affiliates of any liability in case you are injured or harmed on our premises, and allows us to monitor your participation by video and audio. Minors will require the signature of an adult. You can read the waiver here, if you’d like.

 

Sort of. We will lock you in a room for 60 minutes exactly, unless you escape sooner. But, don’t worry… you will always be able to get out on your own if needed. Every room is equipped with a lock release button or key and cameras in case of an emergency. Additionally, your game is being monitored (audio and video) by our staff to ensure your time is memorable and safe!

 

No. Cell phones, cameras, purses, jackets, etc must be left in secure lockers in the lobby. If you must keep your cell phone with you because you're "on call", that's ok, but please, no pictures or videos.

 

Each room has a different level of difficulty and it is possible that you won’t escape within the 60-minute time limit. But that’s ok, it’s all part of the game! If your team wants hints along the way, we are happy to help.

 

About 1.5 hours. We ask that you show up 10 minutes ahead of your scheduled time to fill out the waiver and listen to our safety and game briefing. Then, you will have exactly 60 minutes to escape the room. Afterward, there will be another 5-10 minutes to take pictures and discuss the room.

 

Any number of players from 1 to 8 can play, depending on the room. We recommend bigger teams for an exciting time and a greater chance of escape!

 

No! Starting in March 2020, by popular request, we now offer private games at no additional charge. Simply pay for each person and the room is all yours! As always, maximum room occupancy rules still apply.

 

We’ve chosen the maximum number of participants based on the physical size of the room, the number of puzzles to be completed in the escape, and the fire/safety guidelines provided by our local fire department.

 

Unfortunately, due to fire and safety regulations, we cannot exceed a room’s maximum occupancy. But feel free to reserve multiple rooms or contact us to arrange for a special event!

 

No. There are no actors and no one will be touching you.

 

No! We are focused on FUN for everyone! Some of our rooms may include elements of surprise or employ techniques to enhance the ambiance (such as music or specific lighting), but they are not intended to be frightening and will never be gory or gruesome. We do NOT use strobe lighting, loud noises, or actors.

 

Escape rooms at 21 Keys are live-action experiences that require at least one member of the team to be able to read, listen, bend, duck, crawl, reach, etc. If you typically need reading glasses, you should bring them. Our facilities and game rooms are on the building’s first floor and are wheelchair-accessible, with the following exceptions. In The Rival, at least one member of the team must be able to use stairs during the escape game. In The Speakeasy, at least one member of the team must be able to crawl on their hands and knees during the escape game. In Derailed and Becoming Butch Cassidy, all members of the team must be able to use stairs during the escape game.

 

Our exact hours are based on bookings and may be extended during holidays and school breaks. Please make your reservations online, as we often sell out in advance of weekends and holidays.

 

No. We do not want anyone to feel unnecessarily pressured or discouraged. We want everyone to enjoy the game, and if you’re lucky enough to escape in 60 minutes, great! But if you don’t escape, we hope you will have had an amazing and memorable time anyway.

 

Each one of our escape rooms is equipped with cameras and your participation will be monitored to ensure an enjoyable and safe experience for all participants. Before you begin you will be asked to sign a waiver in order to be filmed. Video footage will be destroyed within 48 hours and never used publicly without your written consent.

 

Sometimes, yes. Depending on availability, we may be able to book a special time slot for you. A minimum purchase will be required. Please contact us for more information!

 

Yes! But please understand that you will not be eligible for our "Fastest 3" or "Clueless" leaderboards, as these are meant for first attempts only.

 

If not, please contact us!
