NEW COVID PROTOCOLS

Per the “Key to NYC” requirement, guests 12 and older will need to show proof they have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine authorized for emergency use by the FDA or WHO.

 

How do I validate my vaccination status?

We will be able to verify vaccination status through:

• NYC COVID Safe App
• Excelsior Pass
• CDC Vaccination Card (or photo)
• NYC Vaccination Record
• An official immunization record from outside NYC or the U.S
  If you received the vaccine outside the U.S., you must have an official immunization record that includes:
  • First name and last name
  • Date of birth
  • Vaccine product name (only vaccines authorized by the WHO are acceptable)
  • Date(s) administered
  • Site where the vaccine was administered, or name of the person who administered it

 

What about individuals under the age 12 who are not eligible for vaccination in New York?

Per Key to NYC requirement, guests under the age of 12 may play at The Escape Game without displaying proof of vaccination so long as they wear a face mask, except when eating and drinking, whenever they are unable to maintain six feet of social distance from other people.

 

What if I don’t have the vaccine or am unable to provide proof of the vaccine?

Per Key to NYC requirement, we would be unable to move forward with your reservation. In these instances, we can reschedule, offer store credit, or refund your experience.

IS THERE AN AGE LIMIT?

We recommend our games for ages 13 and up. We do allow younger players, but some of the game content may be too difficult for them. A paying adult, 18 or older, must participate with anyone that is 14 and under. Also, any participants under the age of 18 will need an adult to sign their waiver.

 

CAN I BRING MY SMALL CHILD WITH ME?
