Frequently asked questions

How does this outdoor escape room in Sacramento work?
You play on your phone. The app leads you from place to place, tells the story of each stop and sets a puzzle in what is in front of you. The story is inspired by L. Frank Baum's original 1900 Oz novel. Team up with friends, or play solo against the leaderboard.
Where does it start and how long does it take?
The game starts at Sacramento Memorial Auditorium and covers about 2 km on foot through 11 stops. Plan on around 90 minutes, though your pace depends on how quickly your group solves the puzzles and how long you linger at each place.
Do we need to book a time slot?
No. You can start whenever you like, with no group to meet and no guide to wait for. If you need a break, pause the game and continue later from where you stopped.
Can our group play together on one ticket?
Yes, one ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated on the ticket. Friends can split up the puzzle-solving between phones, or one person can play solo and try for a place on the leaderboard.
Is it played outdoors, and what if it rains?
It is an outdoor game played while walking city streets between stops, so dress for the weather. Because you start any time and can pause, you can pick a dry window or stop during a shower and pick the game up again later.
Is The Oz Escape: A Wicked Glitch in Sacramento self-guided?
Yes. The Questo app guides you between locations without a tour guide or fixed departure. Start when it suits you and pause if needed.
