  • If you're lucky, being friendly with the actors might earn you an invitation to discover the hidden 'secret rooms' within the mazes.
  • Dress comfortably and be prepared for a lot of walking; the event can last between 1.5 to 2 hours.
  • Check your spam/junk mail for your ticket confirmation email, as it serves as your entry for the entire group.
