Question 1

Difficulty  &  Hints

Accepted Answer

How difficult a game is all depends on the player; it is like asking how hard it is to bake a cake. Everyone is different and that's okay! In general our difficulty order is The Dynaline Incident (difficult), Sweet Revenge (more difficult), then Factory Reset (most difficult). Each room is very different in the types of puzzles they offer, and while most groups find Factory Reset the most difficult, others may find The Dynaline Incident is the most difficult.

To help adjust your playstyle, we offer three ways to play, and you can change your play style at any point during the game:

- - -Escape Artist- - -
- 3 hints or less
- Hard

- - -Unlimited Power- - - 
- As many hints as you want, when you ask for them
- Moderate to Hard

- - -Adventure Mode- - -
- Your Game Master will provide periodic hints to push you along
- Easy

All of our games are completely logic based, and do not require guessing, or outside knowledge. Everything you need to solve our puzzles will be provided for you in the game.
 
As for which game to choose, our best suggestion would be for your group to book whichever game seems most interesting to them, and then let us know your skill level and how you would like to play the game when you arrive. Whether or not you're an experienced Escape Artist, or just a casual Adventure Mode player, we'll make the game fit to you. For Kids we recommend Adventure mode. See more in the Kids FAQ.

Question 2

Large Groups (11+ Participants)

Accepted Answer

We can accommodate up to 26 participants per hour; up to 8 in Factory Reset, up to 10 in Sweet Revenge, and up to 8 in The Dynaline Incident.

BOOKING ON FRIDAY, SATURDAY, OR SUNDAY (Normally Scheduled Games)
If you have a group over 10 you can book two / three corresponding rooms (ie, the 5:30pm Sweet Revenge, the 5:45pm Dynaline Incident, and the 6:00PM Factory Reset). By doing this, we can have your entire group show up all at the same time for the earliest game, and get everyone started together! Want to have a friendly competition and race against each other? We can make that happen! Though the rooms are different, the average escape time for each is quite close!​

Question 5

Kids

Accepted Answer

While many of our puzzles are geared for adults, kids love our games! Your Game Master will be able to give your group additional hints on puzzles to help you succeed through the game.
 
Our best suggestion would be for your group to book whichever game seems most interesting to them, and then let us know your skill level / how you would like to play the game when you arrive... If you want to be left alone until you ask for a hint, we will be silent as a mouse! If you would prefer periodic hints or would just like to ask for hints as much as you would like, we are also very happy to oblige! Typically we find kids progress the furthest on Adventure Mode.
 
For even younger groups we are happy to join you on your adventure, and be in the room every step of the way! Children that are under 12 years of age must be accompanied by an adult participant. The adult in the game will be counted as a participant and towards the room capacity, when booking the game.
 
Any participant under the age of 18 will need to arrive with a pre-printed signed waiver in hand, if they are not accompanied by their legal parent/ guardian. Entry to the game will not be granted without a signed waiver, and no refunds will be given.

Quanday is not a Haunted House! There is nothing intentionally scary about our rooms...we don't have anything jump out at you, or purposely try to scare you. While we do admit, the ambiance may be a bit eerie, nothing is going to jump out and get you.
