FAQ

What is an escape room / puzzle room?

Escape games are for individuals, families, friends and colleagues. The premise of the adventure is that a team is “locked in” a themed room with only 60 minutes to “escape”. Teams must work together in search of hidden objects, hints, codes, riddles and puzzles to solve an assortment of challenges that reveal keys or combinations to various locks throughout the room. Ultimately, trying to escape before the countdown clock expires. A “Hint Master” monitors the entire game and may offer a clue if a team is really having difficulty.  If you're looking for fun things to do in Biloxi, Hint Hunter Puzzle Rooms is the perfect activity for date nights, proposals, birthdays, anniversaries, bachelor/bachelorette parties, corporate team-building events and anyone else looking for something fun to do. It is an exciting alternative to the same old “Movie Night”.

How long does the experience take?

We recommend that groups arrive no later than 15 minutes before their allocated time slot. Before each game you'll have a short briefing session covering some basic rules and an introduction to the story. Depending on the escape room that you select, the game itself will last either 30 minutes or 60 minutes. We also encourage you to hang around after your game to discuss how it went and take some (hopefully post-victory) photos.

Will my group be put in the room with other people?

No. All Hint Hunter bookings are private. Once you have made your booking, the room will close.

Can I bring a camera or cell phone into the room?

No. All personal belongings should be stored in our secure lockers before entering the room. Disregard for this rule will cause the Hint Master to end the game immediately.

Do I need to wear anything special?

You can leave your prom gown and tux at home. Wear anything you are comfortable in, but the most activity you will be engaging in may be squatting down or getting on your knees to look under or to get a closer look at something.  If you wear reading glasses or corrective lenses, it might be advisable to bring them.

Your escape game begins precisely at the time you reserved. You will not be allowed to participate after the game has begun. There are no refunds or rescheduling for a late arrival.

Can children participate?

We encourage families to enjoy our rooms together. Some of our rooms are better suited for children than others. Contact us to hear our recommendations.

How much physical activity is involved?

The puzzle rooms are primarily designed so you that can think your way out; however, you will be required to move around the room and possibly move items into place. Don't worry, it's nothing too strenuous (although sometimes things can get quite tense in there!).
