About Us:
We opened our doors in March 2016 as Escape Room Challenge VB with our first room "Escape the Titanic". Since then we have we changed our name to Countdown Escape Room Virginia Beach and added "The Pirate's Treasure", "Science Lab Spy" and most recently "Dr. Madblood's Mystery Manor" rooms. We created each of our games from scratch and hand selected every decoration and prop to help immerse our guests into the room's theme. Each of our games play logical and linear to encourage teamwork and participation from all players. We give every event a private booking (no strangers added to any size group) to ensure each group will have the best possible experience. This is something that our customers like and continue to give us positive feedback on. We love to watch people enjoy our rooms and are always interested in direct feedback and suggestions. We also enjoy showing groups the other available rooms for future play and are happy to offer discounts for returning players!

How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking as far in advance as possible to secure your desired date and time are available. We are always available to make a booking for you so just call even if you don't see a time spot open you'd like to play. Just call 757-671-2385!
Will we be placed in a room with people we don't know?
No! Once you book a date and time, the room is exclusively yours! We have learned that playing with just your family & friends will ensure the possible room experience. So No, you will not be sharing a room with strangers at any time - no matter how small your group size.
Can children participate?
Kids actually love the game! They may not be able to do it all on their own, but they sure are good at finding things and linking clues together. Kids under 16 years old must have one participating paying adult in the room.

How long does each event last?
Roughly 60 minutes give or take depending on how well your party does. Please plan to arrive 15 minutes before your start time. This is essential. When you arrive you will receive a quick briefing on the game. Then the fun begins! You will be put in the room and will have 60 minutes to get out. This will leave some time afterwards for fun photos with our cool props. We try to post every group on our FaceBook page so you can visit and like & share your group photo.

Do you have any Tips/Advice for doing your Escape Rooms?
Sure! - Not everything is a clue. There are plenty of Red Herrings.
Separate and search! There is plenty to find.
Don't waste time trying to just "pick" a lock... You'll go faster helping out the group and avoid ruining the experience for others.
Communicate... if you find something, let others know.
Brainstorm your ideas out loud with others.
Keep the clues out in case you need to revisit them.
Don't overthink things, sometimes the most logical and simple solution is the correct one.
Double check each other’s answers and searches if you are stuck!
Also...
There is no need to climb on anything… there are no clues above normal reach. There are no clues in any electrical outlets, plugs, cords or lamps. There are no clues in the drapes or shades.
There is no excessive force or physical exertion required, so be gentle. No more than finger pressure is needed.
Don't be afraid to be silly! This is a game - have FUN! :)
