FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHAT S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SCHEDULED AND PRIVATE GAMES? Our games run on a standard schedule where tickets can be bought individually. If you d like to run one of these games as a private event, you can buy all the available tickets for the game online. However, we also receive requests for games to run outside of our standard schedule which we can arrange as private events. WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY A SET-UP FEE FOR A PRIVATE BOOKING? There is no fee for booking tickets for a game on our standard schedule. However, as private games are booked outside of our regular operating hours we require a set-up fee to cover the additional room rental, staffing and administration costs. This fee is only charged once per venue, per day and is waived for backto-back or mix and match games.* * For bookings made in 2018 WHY CAN PRIVATE GAMES RUN WITH EXTRA PLAYERS? The team sizes allowed for our scheduled games are the optimal capacity for each game. However, we are able to accommodate a few extra players for some games with a private booking, although please note that this can slightly compromise the quality of game play. 12
MY TEAM IS TOO LARGE TO PLAY THESE GAMES, WHAT SHOULD I DO? You might want to consider our largest game, Where Dark Things Dwell at Black Creek Pioneer Village, which can run with between 30 to 60 players! Alternatively, if you want to extend the capacity of our other games you can either run games: BACK-TO-BACK: book the same game to run sequentially MIX-AND-MATCH: book different games which are run at the same time, within each venue. For either of these options, you will only need to pay one set-up fee per venue.* * For bookings made in 2018 WHAT ARE MY CATERING OPTIONS? Most of our locations do offer catering, although menus vary and catering is booked directly with each venue. Please see the details for each venue for more information. We are happy to put you in touch with the Event Manager for your chosen location, or alternatively you could book a table at one of Toronto s many eateries! HOW DO I BOOK? For games on our standard schedule, you can easily book online at www.secretcityadventures.com. If you want to book a private date, please get in touch with us at groups@secretcityadventures.com to discuss your options and get a quote. A member of our team will be in touch to discuss your booking and provide a confirmed quote - we can then either take payment over the phone or send an invoice. A member of staff will always be available to answer any last minute questions. 13
CAN YOU SORT OUT TRANSPORTATION? Unfortunately not. Your group will need to find your own way to and from our locations, although most are centrally located or accessible via public transport - just get in touch for further advice or recommended suppliers. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MY TEAM ARRIVES? Whether you book a standard or a private game, you will be greeted by our Game Host who will take your group through an introduction to the game and remain on-site for the duration of your event. WHAT IF I NEED TO CANCEL OR RESCHEDULE? Games which have been booked on scheduled dates are final and are not eligible to `be rescheduled or refunded. However, for our private bookings we are able to refund your order, minus the set-up fee. Alternatively, with at least two weeks notice we can reschedule your game at no charge. If you need to change your booking, just get in touch with our team to discuss your options. HOW CAN I EXPLAIN WHAT AN ESCAPE GAME IS TO THE REST OF MY TEAM? An escape game is a real-life adventure game in which a team has to explore a themed space where they are typically locked. Using elements within it, you have to find clues and solve puzzles in order to escape within a set time limit. 14
