The Dream
The same house every night. She can draw the floor plan from memory and has never been to Orange County.
Escapade GamesProudly Presents:
The Original Horror Escape Room
The prequel to Zoe: Reborn
Ending November 15th
Book now before it goes away forever.
A woman keeps dreaming of the Grobel family home, and of a girl inside it asking to be let out. She hired your team to go in.
The Location
The original horror escape room—now rebuilt bigger—is the prequel to Zoe: Reborn. Explore more than ten rooms of handbuilt set, each opening onto something you did not expect as you move deeper inside.
★ Big groups get louder. Small groups get hunted.
The Client
The same dream for months. A hallway, a house she has never visited, and a girl inside asking to be let out. Then she found a photograph of it: the Grobel family home.
She called a team of ghost hunters. That is you. Go in, find the girl, finish what that family started.
Explore the home of Zoe and experience the original terror.
“she asks so nicely”
The same house every night. She can draw the floor plan from memory and has never been to Orange County.
Two men lived here after the funeral. One is buried now. The other never left.
Zoe was different long before she died. Grief makes men try anything, and something was listening.
Every door is bolted from the inside. Ask who did that, and which side they were keeping something on.
Before You Sign
Ten plus rooms, live actors, full contact by default. Actors put hands on you and shock devices are in play.
How ZOE is meant to run.
Actors grab, pull, restrain, and separate you. Shock devices including tasers are used.
Signed waiver required.
Scares stay, restraint goes.
Actors chase, block, and crowd you. No grabbing, no restraint, no shock devices.
Ask at check-in.
Nobody lays a hand on you.
Full house, full cast, hard no-touch rule.
Tell your host at check-in.
Mode is set per group and locked before you enter. Pick what your least willing player can live with.
They chase, they whisper, and they never break character to reassure you.
A beautifully built horror set, room after room, full of turns you do not see coming.
Say “MERCY” and staff reach you in seconds. Any mode, any point.
Your group will not stay together. Choose who you bring.
Everyone plays on a signed waiver. Under 18 needs a parent or guardian to sign.
Not for heart conditions, pacemakers, pregnancy, epilepsy, recent injury, or claustrophobia.

Questions From The Living
Yes. Full contact is the default: actors grab, pull, restrain, and separate you, and tasers are in play. Ask for Normal or No Contact at check-in.
Seriously. Disclosed in the waiver, never used in Normal or No Contact. Any cardiac history means no Full Contact.
An escape room played like an investigation. Ten plus rooms, 100 minutes, something working against you the whole time.
Say MERCY. Staff reach you in seconds and walk you out. Your group keeps playing.
5 to 13, and we recommend 6. Big enough to cover the house, small enough that it finds you.
All ages play on a signed waiver, with a parent or legal guardian signing in person for anyone under 18. Read the contact modes above and pick what fits your group.
Do not play if pregnant, or with heart conditions, a pacemaker, epilepsy, recent injury, or claustrophobia. Expect strobes, fog, low light, tight spaces, restraint, and shock devices.
Closed-toe shoes and clothes you can be pulled in. Bags and phones go in the free lockers.
Check the booking page for current dates and times. Arrive 20 minutes early for check-in and the waiver.
Something in that house will ask you for a favor. Most groups say yes. That is usually where the night turns.
