Tips & Advice

  • Plan to arrive 15 minutes before your appointment time to go over instructions and prepare.
  • Store your phones and personal belongings in the complimentary lobby lockers, as outside items are not allowed in the rooms.
  • Avoid running late; groups arriving more than 10 minutes late forfeit their missed time and must play with their remaining minutes.
