FAQ'S
What is an Escape Walk?
Think Escape Room, where you are locked in a room for a period of time and you have to solve clues and puzzles to get out of the room. An Escape Walk is the same principle but it's an "Escape Room without the walls" it's totally outdoors and takes you on an adventure through the town and on the coastal paths, where you need to solve clues and puzzles to unlock the next clue and ultimately escape before the time runs out. Not only do you get to have fun with family and friends you get to explore Port Macquarie in a different way, discovering places you may not usually venture to.
What if I don't escape in time?
If you do not escape, do not fear! You can still carry on with the Escape Walk and reach the end but the Escape Master is always contactable to help you escape so hopefully you will escape within the given time.
