The Eureka Room

The Eureka Room and Cryptid Escapes are owned and operated by the same team however, there are a couple differences:

1) They are not in the same location. The Eureka Room is in Downtown Bellingham while Cryptid Escapes is in Historic Fairhaven just down State St.

2) They have different rooms. Currently, Cryptid Escapes has 2 experiences while Eureka has 3.

Nope! Each reservation is a private booking - regardless of how many players you bring. This has always been, and will always be true, regardless of COVID-19 regulations.

Our rooms average about a 50% success rate. Most of the teams that fail will at least come close.  Each rooms' difficulty can be found in their descriptions. There are a wide variety of challenges designed to give each team member a chance to shine, and no specific background knowledge or skills are required. You are also allowed to receive hints throughout the room. You will not be left to struggle!

Not really. For safety reasons, you are not physically locked in. However, the room and the story that goes with it provide an immersive experience that you won't want to leave until your time is up.

Our games are designed with adults in mind but they are also enjoyable for kids who enjoy solving mysteries. Players under 16 are welcome as part of a team that includes a parent or guardian. Children 7 and under are free of charge, as the rooms are usually too difficult for them to enjoy. We recommend all players to be 10 years old or older.

We are in the Crown Plaza Building, 114 W. Magnolia, #105, in Bellingham, WA. Google Maps is still sending people to our old location so be sure to come to the right place. Also, we are open by appointment only so if you just show up you may not find anyone there.

Absolutely, although it will be more difficult. The cost is also subject to a minimum. For less than 3 players, the total price. is $70 for Backstage Breakout and $80 for Out of Orbit. We thank you for your understanding.

Backstage Breakout is our largest room and currently has a capacity of 9 people. If you want to play with more or can split your group into each room, feel free to email us for special accommodations at theeurekaroom@gmail.com.

You don’t have to do anything! Stuff comes up all the time, and we understand how much of a juggle it is to get people together for an activity.

This is why we only charge a deposit when you book; so the total players/total cost can change before your show up for the actual game.

If your entire team cannot make it, you can cancel before the 48 hours in advance for your deposit back via your confirmation email, or emailing us or texting us.

If your team dips below the group minimum (3), you can also let us know via email or text/call as that will change your per-player ticket cost.

Yes. You can order electronic gift certificates here. If you’d rather have a paper version email theeurekaroom@gmail.com and we can arrange to mail you one.

Absolutely! If you are coming for team-building purposes, let us know so that we can be sure to include a debriefing session at the end. This is a great opportunity for your team to practice working together in a new and exciting setting. 

None of our current rooms are designed to be scary, and nothing is going to jump out at you.

We are unable to customize specific puzzles but, we may be able to customize your experience cosmetically. To ask if we can do anything like this, please email us at theeurekaroom@gmail.com.
