Where is the Escape Room located?
We are located on the second floor of the Mothman Museum.
The entrance is through the double RED doors on the right side of the building (the same side adjacent to the Mothman Statue). Enter here, go up the stairs, and make your way to the Briefing Room on the right.
The Museum address is 400 Main Street, Point Pleasant, WV 25550.
​
Am I really going to be "locked" in a room?
No, never. For safety reasons, the first door you enter for gameplay will be unlocked at all times. The only locked doors are the doors whose puzzles or clues you must solve in order to advance. Should you need to leave the game at any time, you are welcome to do so through the first door you entered — but the clock keeps ticking for your fellow players!
​
Are there cameras and microphones in the rooms?
Yes, there are cameras and microphones in every room, both for safety precautions and to allow the gamemasters to monitor your gameplay and provide clues or hints during your game.​
​
Can I take photos or videos inside the rooms?
No, absolutely not. We do not allow photos or videos inside of our game rooms so that clues and puzzles can't be shared and spoiled for future players.
If we observe photos or video being taken at any time during gameplay, your game will immediately be stopped and you will be asked to leave. However, you will have ample opportunities for photos after your game!​
​
Do I have to carry my items or purchases through the game?
No, we have free storage lockers in our Briefing Room to keep your personal items (like your phone) and/or purchases secure while you play. Just lock your items up and take the key with you while you play — but don't forget to retrieve them before you leave!
