NORAD: 1963

A warhead is already in the air. You have an hour to bring it back.

In 1963, Cold War tension between the United States and the USSR reached a critical moment when a one-in-a-million computing error initiated the launch of a nuclear warhead at Moscow. Soviet Russia scrambled to arm their own nuclear arsenal while American technicians worked furiously to abort the launch.

Wrong room, wrong key, wrong people looking for you.

Are you as savvy as a government spy? Your team has accidentally checked into a hotel room meant for Agent Reese, a spy for the agency of CONTROL. When the evil corporation of KAOS finds out about this mistake, they lock the door so no one can stop their diabolical plan to control the world. With only 60 minutes to work, you must finish the job that CONTROL has started and foil the evil plans of Doctor Eterno!

Never done one?

You don’t have to be good at puzzles.

Most people walk in a little unsure and walk out already arguing about which room to do next. That’s the whole thing, in three steps.

Pick a room

Book online, by phone, or in person on Mass St. Choose the story that sounds like the most fun — the challenge rating tells you what you’re walking into.

Show up 15 minutes early

Downtown parking can be tricky and games start exactly on time. We’ll walk you through the story and the rules, then the door closes and the clock starts.

Search, solve, get out

Everything you need is in the room, and every game has hints built in. Want extra nudges? Just ask — we’re here to make sure it’s a good hour.

Bigger plans

Some hours are worth planning around.

Birthdays, graduations, team days, big KU weekends. We run up to 26 players at a time, and schedule back-to-back rounds for groups larger than that.

15+ guests, Sun–Thu · special rates

Groups & team building

Split a bigger group across rooms and go head to head. For 24 or more we build a custom back-to-back schedule so everybody plays in one visit.
