Planning an escape room bachelorette party
The size, the booking and the rest of the day.
An escape room bachelorette party is a timed team game where the bride and her friends find clues and solve puzzles to escape a themed room. Check how many players each room takes, reserve it privately, and plan it before dinner.
Booking the room
Ask each venue how many players a room takes, whether the booking is private, how hints work, and what its alcohol and late arrival policies are. For a larger group, reserve two rooms in the same slot.
Fitting it into the weekend
An escape room is a short activity, so pair it with a long lunch or dinner nearby. If some guests do not enjoy timed games, make the escape room optional or choose a relaxed room.
Ask the room size, reserve it private, and play before dinner.

Rooms at the same time, for a bigger group
Split the crew into two teams and compare escape times after.
Ask the venue how many players each room takes. If the bachelorette party is larger, book two rooms in the same time slot, check that both are a similar difficulty, and mix the friend groups across the teams so everyone gets to know each other.
