Escape rooms are fun for young and old
Escape rooms often do their very best to make the game fun and challenging for players of all ages and with different backgrounds and levels of experience. Still, there are sometimes factors that lead to an age recommendation for an escape room. So before you book an escape room, always check carefully whether a minimum age is recommended.
DarkPark's escape rooms always come with an age recommendation
As our name suggests, at DarkPark we build thrilling escape rooms. We do this by adding spooky lighting effects, special effects, loud music and jumpscares, among other things. Additionally, the chilling story and corresponding scary decor of our rooms make it so that the full experience is less suitable for very young players. That doesn’t mean young players aren’t welcome, but we always try to give a clear warning in advance, so you know what you’re getting into.
The puzzles are sometimes tricky for children
Although young people often match adults in terms of problem-solving skills, we know from experience that the puzzles in our escape rooms are often just too difficult for players who are too young. This can lead to frustration, and we want everyone to have a good time with us.
Sometimes we'll make an exception
The term recommended age minimum explains it all, it’s not a hard limit, it’s advice. Occasionally, we get asked if someone that’s 1 or 2 years below the age limit is allowed to play our escape rooms. In such cases, we sometimes make an exception, but we do place the responsibility on the parents. The Dentist and Freakshow are suitable for ages 14 and up. Our other escape rooms are officially for ages 16 and up, but we make an exception for kids from the age of 14, as long as at least 1 adult comes along to supervise. This way, we keep it fun for everyone.
