Maui Escape Rooms offers six themes. Before we look into some of these in more detail, here are some dos and don’ts:
- Reservations encouraged. Walk-ins are welcomed, but it’s best to secure your time in advance with a reservation.
- Don’t drink alcohol before your session. You’ll want to be clear-headed when you play. And Maui Escape Rooms has the right to cancel your event (with no refund) if someone in your group is intoxicated.
- Wear comfortable clothes. You won’t be lifting, jumping, or anything strenuous like that, but you will be on your feet for the duration of the game.
- Arrive 15 minutes before your game. Also, plan another 10 minutes afterward to be debriefed and take photos.
