When: Year-round
At Rush Escape Room there will be no lines as most visitors reserve their time slots online in advance! Our very own CABIN features an creepy theme where you and up to 7 friends have been hiking through a forest and stumble upon (what you think!) is an abandoned cabin. You step inside and the door slams shut behind you. Your team now has 45 exciting minutes to try and escape the cabin before the deranged owner returns…he’s an old writer who’s lived out in the woods a long time…and he’s mastered the skill of skull collecting! We recommend not being in his house when he gets back! Filled with creepy things and dim lighting, but don’t worry there are flashlights for your team to use! The Cabin is the most popular escape at Rush Escape Room and for good reason; besides it’s eerie factor, only about 1/3 of the people actually escape!
