What to Expect
This isn't your average escape room - it’s a sensory gauntlet. In the Blackout Experience, you and your team awaken inside a “malfunctioning sensory reconstruction chamber” where every light has failed. Your mission? Reactivate eight vital Synaptic Nodes using only your senses—except sight. That’s right: it all happens in pitch-black darkness.
Perfect for those who crave an adrenaline-pumping group activity, the game pushes communication, memory, and teamwork to their limits. With no visual cues, participants must rely on one another—and their instincts—to solve the challenges. Whether you’re a seasoned escape room veteran or a first-timer looking for something bold, this is one immersive experience you won’t forget.

FAQs
What is the Blackout Experience?
It’s a fully immersive escape-style game set in total darkness, where players must rely on their other senses—like sound, touch, and smell—to solve a sequence of challenges and escape.
How long does the experience last?
The experience itself is 60 minutes, but allow extra time for check-in, briefing, and post-game debrief.
Is the Blackout Experience scary?
It’s suspenseful and intense, but not horror-themed. There are no actors or jump scares—just pure sensory-based puzzle solving.
Can I participate if I’m claustrophobic or sensitive to darkness?
If you’re uncomfortable in enclosed or dark spaces, this experience may not be ideal. However, safety protocols and staff assistance are always available.
Is this experience private or will we be grouped with others?
Your Blackout session is exclusive to your party—only your group will be in the room, allowing for full immersion without interruptions.
