Questions About The Inheritance: By Night

Why is there a 4 person minimum?

The puzzles in By Night are designed to need at least 4 people working together, so it has a 4 person minimum. Groups of 4 to 10 can book.

Who will be in the game with me?

Only your group. Every booking is private, so you're never paired with strangers.

How challenging is By Night?

By Night has a Travel Rating of 4 out of 5. It's built for groups who love a challenge, and your Travel Guide is watching the whole time with hints whenever you need them.

Is By Night scary?

No. It's a deeper mystery, not a horror experience: thrilling, not chilling.

How long is the experience?

60 minutes in the room, plus our theatrical pre-show and immersive lobby (about 70 minutes from arrival to departure).

Are we locked in?

No. Doors ahead of you may be locked as part of the game, but the emergency exit is never locked.

What ages can play?

All ages are welcome. Guests under 18 must be booked by an adult with waivers signed, and guests under 16 need an adult in the room with them.
