As part of the online booking process you confirm that you have read carefully and understood the contents of these terms and conditions.

Before you make your booking
AGE RESTRICTIONS
Any participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied and supervised by an adult (aged 18+) who accepts responsibility and must complete the sign in form on behalf of the player who is under 18.
Participants may be asked to provide evidence of their age if they are unsupervised and appear to be under the age of 18. Unsupervised under 18s will not be permitted to start their game and will be ineligible for a refund. Your team should be made up of mostly adults.
We would recommend a minimum age of 14 years old for CAPTIVE and SCARY TALE. This is due to the nature of the games, the content and also the complexity of some of the puzzles. If any of the participants on the booking are under this recommended age they are still welcome to play but if you have any concerns please feel free to contact us to discuss BEFORE YOU BOOK and you will then be equipped with the information to decide on the suitability of the game for your party.
Although SCARLET, OPERATION X and CASTAWAY have no minimum recommended age some younger players may find the puzzles extremely challenging.
COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS
Whilst there is no longer a legal requirement to wear face coverings in indoor settings please feel free to if you wish.
For the time being we are still staggering bookings wherever possible and we have installed lots of hand sanitiser dispensers throughout the building, including in the games rooms, and ask that all players use the hand sanitiser before and after your game.
Please do not attend for your game if you have tested positive for COVID or if you are unwell with COVID symptoms. If your game is more than 48 hours away we will do our best to reschedule your booking.
MEDICAL AND DISABILITY CONCERNS
Regrettably our venue is not wheelchair accessible. This is due to the suitability of the rear emergency exit for wheelchair users. Two of our games are also on the first floor of our venue.
Many of our games require players to enter into small crawl spaces and to remain on their feet for the duration of the game. Many also contain jump scares. Should you or a member of your group have any questions about this please contact us before making a booking to discuss the suitability of our games.
PRICING
Standard game prices can be found on our website and are subject to change at any time.
If you have a discount code it should be entered into our online booking system at the checkout stage. A deduction in the total balance will then be made if the code is valid. We reserve the right to withdraw and/or cancel any discount codes at any time without notice.
ADDITIONAL PLAYERS
Any additional players added to an existing booking will be charged per person. Please contact us if you wish to add any other players to your booking. Total team numbers must not exceed 6 players, with the exception of Captive which can accommodate up to 8 players on request.

ONLINE BOOKING
All of our bookings should be made through our online booking system. You will received a booking confirmation email to your inbox shortly after paying for your game online. Please check your spam folder if this does not arrive. You will need to bring your booking confirmation with you to your game. When your booking confirmation email has been received please check that your details are correct and please notify us immediately of any errors. We are not responsible for any incorrect entry of personal information which may cause a delay in your confirmation email arriving.
All payments made online via our booking system are handled through our payment processor and your payment card information will not be stored by us. In the unlikely event that your payment is declined or does not process through to our account we reserve the right to request that you make payment with an alternative method. If we cannot get hold of you or payment is not received then we will cancel your booking.
CANCELLATIONS, REFUNDS & RESCHEDULING
EO Escape Rooms offer a strict cancellation and rescheduling policy. This is because we offer a one to one service, each booking has their own private games master who will look after that party for the duration of their game(s). We staff our venue on demand only and not for set hours on set days. When a booking is made we make contact with our games masters to arrange for cover for that booking. Our games masters require as much notice as possible and the shorter the notice period the more difficult it is for us to staff your booking.
It is for this reason that refunds will not be given for failed attendance to a scheduled game. If you can no longer make your game please call us. If we have the availability we may be able to assist with rescheduling your game. This cannot be guaranteed and for games rescheduled with less than 48 hours notice you may still be charged for your initial booking.
If you are late to your game we will not be able to continue with your game as this may delay other bookings and you will not be entitled to a refund. If you are going to be late due to circumstances out of your control please contact us giving as much notice as possible and we will see if there are any other arrangements we can make to assist you. We can make no guarantees as this is not always possible as we may be booked to capacity.
However, full cancellation requests that are received by us for future bookings and within 24 hours of your booking being made and paid for through our website will entitle you to a full refund, except for situations where the booking has been made within 24 hours of the booked game slot. We do not offer partial refunds, partial amendments or a partial cancellation of your booking. Any cancellation requests received after 24 hours of the booking being made will only be refunded in exceptional circumstances and at the discretion of the Directors of EO Escape Rooms and in any event a minimum cost of a two player game will be applied to cover the costs associated with staffing your booking. Bookings will not be amended, refunded or rescheduled in any circumstances where cancellation has been made within 2 hours of the time of the scheduled game.
In the unlikely event that we need to cancel your game we will make reasonable attempts to contact you using the details provided during the booking process. In this situation you will have the option of rescheduling your game or receiving a full refund. EO Escape Rooms are not responsible for unsuccessful contact with you if your details are entered incorrectly during the booking process and EO Escape Rooms will not be held liable for any associated costs such as travel and/or accommodation expenses that have already been incurred by you.
Before you arrive for your game
LOCATION
We are located at Unit 1 Drury Drive, Woodhall Business Park, Sudbury, Suffolk. The postcode for your sat nav is CO10 1WH. You can find us behind B&Q and opposite Edmundsons Electrical. Should you be unable to find us please telephone in good time ahead of your game and we will do our best to guide you.
PARKING
We have allocated parking spaces right outside our unit which are exclusively available for customers of EO Escape Rooms. There is no charge for parking, however, we would ask that you please only use the parking spaces for the duration of your time at our venue. If these allocated parking bays are full on your arrival you can usually find a space to park on the road nearby. During evenings and weekends there is plenty of nearby street parking available. Please do not obstruct other vehicles or utilise any parking belonging to any other business.
Vehicles and their contents are left at their owners’ risk. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from the use of our allocated parking spaces or vehicles that have been left on the public highway whilst you visit our venue.
LATE ARRIVALS
We operate a strict late arrival policy.
Your entire group must arrive at least 15 minutes before your booking time. Your booking time is the time you have chosen for your game to start. This is so that we can show you a briefing video and give you some safety information. You will then be asked to sign our sign in form, use the facilities and place your belongings in a locker. All players must complete the sign in form to be permitted to play. A parent/guardian must sign for those players who are under the age of 18.
After the briefing video you will be shown a short scenario video which will give you some background to your game. It may contain the odd clue or hint so please watch carefully!
If your team arrives more than 15 minutes later than your booking time we will be unable to permit you to play, your booking will be cancelled and you will not be offered a refund. If you know you are going to be more than 15 minutes late please call ahead giving as much notice as possible and our games masters will endeavour to assist you. Any late arrivals will have their game time reduced accordingly.
Our strict late arrival policy is because our games are ‘live’ events and as such if you are late we will have to delay the games of other customers if your group arrive late, which we are not prepared to do.
DRINK & DRUGS POLICY
The consumption of alcohol and/or illegal drugs is strictly prohibited within all areas belonging to EO Escape Rooms. This includes the car park, the communal external areas, communal internal areas, the bathroom and all of the games rooms.
If our staff believe any player to be under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs they reserve the right to reject that player or their entire group without refund.
We have a zero tolerance policy towards drunken, abusive behaviour towards other members of your team, other customers and our staff. Anyone acting in an abusive manner will be asked to leave and will not be permitted to return. They will not be refunded.
Whilst at our venue
IINSTRUCTIONS AND SAFETY
Whilst we have endeavoured to create the safest environment possible you and your group participate in our games at your own risk. To help you to help us keep you safe we have placed stickers on certain items in our games rooms. These stickers are either EO ESCAPE ROOMS stickers which indicate that particular item does not form part of your game, or DO NOT TOUCH stickers which indicate that item should not be touched as it may be unsafe to do so.
While on our premises, you agree to adhere to all housekeeping, safety and game rules that we may make you aware of either verbally or as set out in our briefing video which will be shown to all players before their game.
All games are monitored via CCTV and from time to time your games master may feel it necessary to remind you or members of your team of the rules during your game if any member of your team is seen breaking these rules either intentionally or unintentionally. Our games masters reserve the right to stop your game at any time if they deem it necessary for the safety or your team, our staff or other visitors.
Please do not enter any areas which display a STAFF ONLY sign. These areas are off limits to all visitors.
SMOKING POLICY
Smoking is strictly prohibited in all internal areas of our venue. If you wish to smoke please go outside and step away from the building and dispose of your rubbish responsibly.

The lockers are free of charge to use and you will be required to keep your locker key with you for the duration of your game – this key will not open any locks within your game so please do not try to use it in any of the padlocks! When you have gathered your belongings please leave the key in the locker for the next person.
Please note that we are not liable for loss of or damage to your personal belongings.
NON-PARTICIPATION
Refunds will not be given if any member of your group no longer wish to participate either at the beginning of or during your game. All players are free to leave the game to use the facilities but please make your games master aware that you are leaving. This is so that in the unlikely event of an emergency your games master will know that you are no longer in the game room. If you wish to return to the game please let your games master know so that they can show you back into your room.
The game timer will not be stopped or paused unless all players leave the game.
If you leave the game to use the facilities you may return and re-join your team, however, if you leave and choose not to return then you will not be offered a full or partial refund.

Photography is strictly prohibited. This includes voice recording and video recording.
Our game rooms are mobile free zones and all mobile phones which are not left in our lockers should remain in your pocket for the duration of your game. The whole team will be asked to leave if any player is seen using their mobile phone. You will not be refunded.

Food and drink may only be consumed in our communal areas and must be placed in a locker throughout the duration of your game. We do not allow food or drink to be consumed inside any of our games rooms.
We do offer a limited selection of soft drinks and water which are available at the cost of £1.00 per drink.
LOSS OR DAMAGE TO OUR PREMISES AND PROPERTY
Please do not intentionally damage our locks, props or other items within your room. Our games do not require players to use excessive force to move props or items. If the item does not move or open easily it is not intended to be opened or moved and should not be forced.
