Consider Scare Levels: Some rooms like Legacy and The Missing have spooky elements. If you have younger or easily frightened children, ask the staff about making modifications to create a more child-friendly experience.

Embrace Teamwork: Encourage everyone to contribute ideas and work together – sometimes the youngest team member has the key insight!

Don't Rush: Take time to explore and enjoy the immersive environments. The journey is just as important as solving the puzzles.
