Question 1

What is Escape The Website?

Accepted Answer

Each room is a fake-but-totally-realistic website — a donut shop, a travel agency, a dating app, a chess club. You browse through it like a real site, find hidden clues scattered across different pages, piece them together, and enter a code on the contact page to escape. No downloads, no apps, nothing to install.

Question 2

Are the escape room codes the same for everyone?

Accepted Answer

Yes — same for everyone. The puzzles are fixed, and every player solving the same room is working toward the same answer.

Question 3

How hard are the online escape rooms?

Accepted Answer

Beginner rooms take most people 15–20 minutes. Harder tiers are a real challenge; some people spend hours on a single room. Rooms range from Beginner to Genius difficulty (estimated IQ 130+ to solve unaided). The difficulty labels on the hub are honest.

Question 4

Can I play on my phone?

Accepted Answer

Yes, everything works on mobile — perfect for a commute or a lunch break. Safari, Chrome, and Firefox all work.

Question 5

Is there a time limit?

Accepted Answer

No. Take as long as you need. There's no countdown, no penalty for going slow. Your progress saves automatically, so close the tab and come back tomorrow.

Question 6

What is the pricing?

Accepted Answer

Individual rooms are $2.99 (Normal) or $4.99 (Mastermind) — one-time, yours forever. Or take a library: Normal is $5.99/month or $14.99/year, Mastermind is $7.99/month or $19.99/year. The Mega Yearly bundle is $24.99 for both libraries plus Party Mode.

Question 7

What is Party Mode?

Accepted Answer

Party Mode lets you play with friends in real time — shared puzzle state, live chat, everyone seeing the same progress. Free rooms are always free to party on. For paid rooms, the host needs a Party Pass ($2.99/month) and friends join free.

Question 8

Can my friend join a paid room without paying?

Accepted Answer

Yes — if you're hosting and have a Party Pass, your friends can play the full room with you at no cost. They just need a free account and your party code.

Question 9

Do I need to download anything to play?

Accepted Answer

No. Everything runs in your web browser on desktop or mobile. No download, no app, no install. Just open the link and start playing.

Question 10

What happens to my rooms if I cancel my subscription?

Accepted Answer

Anything you bought outright is yours forever — no subscription needed, no expiry. If you cancel a subscription, those rooms go back to locked, but your progress is saved exactly where it was.

Question 11

Is this appropriate for kids?

Accepted Answer

Yes — all rooms are puzzle-based with no violent or adult content. Some rooms are genuinely hard, so younger players might get frustrated on anything above Beginner. Party Mode is great for kids playing alongside friends or a parent.
