At Mission Escape Games, safety is our top priority. Before you step into any of our immersive challenges—whether you’re solving clues in Hydeout, racing against time in End of Days, or navigating underwater thrills in Submerged—we ensure every aspect of your experience is as secure as it is exciting. Our escape rooms Connecticut are designed with multiple layers of protection, from thorough briefings to real-time monitoring, so you can focus on teamwork and fun without worry.
Pre-Game Safety Briefing and Rules
Before your adventure begins, our game masters conduct a comprehensive safety briefing. This includes:
-
Overview of room layout: We point out key areas, such as emergency exits and designated safe zones.
-
Rule rundown: You’ll learn which props are interactive and which are strictly decorative, preventing any accidental damage or injury.
-
Communication protocols: Every player receives a two-way radio or signaling device to request help instantly.
-
Health disclaimers: We ask about any mobility issues or medical conditions to ensure accommodations can be made.
This briefing takes at least five minutes—long enough to cover all essentials, yet concise enough to keep the adrenaline high. We encourage questions at any time, because understanding the safety rules is the first step to an enjoyable game.
Real-Time Monitoring and Support
Once the clock starts, our staff never truly leaves the room. We utilize a combination of live video feeds and in-room sensors to keep an eye on both the puzzles and participants. This system allows us to:
-
Spot potential hazards immediately—such as someone tripping over a prop or becoming disoriented in low light.
-
Provide gentle nudges if you’re stuck, reducing frustration without spoiling the challenge.
-
Upgrade frustration level—if we notice confusion leading to unsafe behavior (like climbing on furniture), we intervene.
Game masters observe from our control rooms and can speak to you via intercom. If you ever feel uneasy, you can press your signaling device to pause the timer and request assistance. This dual-monitoring approach balances immersion with security, ensuring you’re never truly alone.
Emergency Exit Access and Procedures
All our rooms are equipped with clearly marked emergency exits that remain unlocked at all times. We follow local fire and building codes to guarantee:
-
Unobstructed pathways: No puzzle or decoration blocks exit doors.
-
Exit signage: Glow-in-the-dark markers guide the way if lights fail.
-
Alarm system: Doors trigger silent alerts when opened, notifying staff instantly.
During the safety briefing, you practice opening the emergency door. In a rare event of power loss or structural concern, we escort every team member out promptly and safely. Regular drills and inspections ensure these systems perform flawlessly.
Puzzle and Prop Safety Design
Our puzzles and props are crafted and vetted with safety in mind:
-
Rounded edges on all furniture and fixtures prevent cuts and scrapes.
-
Weight testing guarantees no shelf or platform collapses under normal use.
-
Non-toxic materials ensure that if you handle or even taste a prop, you remain unharmed.
-
Secure anchoring: Heavy items are bolted down to avoid tipping.
We also conduct routine maintenance—weekly checks catch wear and tear before it becomes a risk. Any prop showing signs of damage is immediately removed and repaired, preserving both your safety and the quality of your adventure.
Sanitation and Health Protocols
Cleanliness is crucial, especially in high-touch environments like escape rooms. Our health measures include:
-
Daily sanitization of all props, door handles, and seating areas.
-
Hand-sanitizer stations at entry and exit points.
-
Mandatory cleaning between each group, with a focus on keypad surfaces and shared tools.
-
Air circulation systems that refresh room air multiple times per hour.
If you have allergies or sensitivities, let us know in advance. We can adjust cleaning agents to avoid irritants, ensuring every guest breathes easy while solving puzzles.
Staff Training and Emergency Response
Every team member at Mission Escape Games undergoes extensive training in:
-
First aid and CPR: Certified staff are on-site during all operating hours.
-
Fire safety: We equip staff with fire extinguishers and train them in evacuation protocols.
-
Conflict de-escalation: If excitement turns stressful, our hosts know how to calm and support guests.
-
Equipment troubleshooting: Quick fixes keep gameplay smooth and prevent guests from improvising unsafe solutions.
We conduct quarterly emergency drills, simulating scenarios like power outages or medical incidents. This ensures our response is second nature and avoids any delay in providing help.
