Frequently Asked Questions

What is the safe word and how does it work?

The safe word is "Mercy." Screaming it can allow you to have an actor back off, leave a room, bypass a room, or exit the haunt entirely. However, there are three specific rooms where "mercying out" is not an option.

What is the recommended age for this attraction?

Due to its intense nature, The 17th Door is recommended for adults and teens aged 16 and older. It is not suitable for young children.

Can I get a refund if I can't attend?

There are no refunds. However, if your event date has not yet passed, you may exchange your tickets for a future date by clicking the link in your email confirmation.

Is the attraction accessible for individuals with disabilities?

Yes, the maze is handicap accessible. While most obstacles can be navigated, event staff will be present to assist with any that may need to be bypassed.

What should I do if I have health concerns?

Pregnant women and individuals with back problems, heart conditions, seizure disorders, or general poor health are advised to consult their physician. Toddlers and infants are not permitted.
