Question 1

Why choose Elephant in the Escape Room?

Accepted Answer

We are not a franchise! Everything in our room is a 100% Croatian idea, designed and built by hand with a lot of love and effort. We are the only room of this kind available, and our hard work has been recognized by the global escape room community, which is why we are the proud owners of two nominations for the prestigious TERPECA (Top Escape Rooms Project) award.

Question 2

Are your rooms scary?

Accepted Answer

Our current room, EX(IT) YU, is absolutely not scary! There are no horror elements, darkness, or jump scares. The goal of this room is to immerse you in a great atmosphere, awaken your nostalgia, and entertain you so much that you won't want to leave.

Question 3

Are we really locked in? What if someone needs to step out or has claustrophobia?

Accepted Answer

There is no need to panic! Even though the doors are closed, there is a "panic button" right next to them that instantly opens the doors when pressed. However, to avoid breaking the immersion and your team's concentration, we kindly ask you not to leave the room during the game. We recommend using the restroom before the game starts or after it finishes. Of course, in case of an emergency or if you are not feeling well, leaving is always an option.

Question 4

How many players can play? Can we bring a 7th player?

Accepted Answer

The EX(IT) YU room is designed for teams of 2 to 6 players, and experience tells us that the ideal dynamic is a group of 4. However, if you are a team of 7 and really don't want to split up, we will make an exception! A 7th player can join for an additional fee of 10 €. Please keep in mind that the flow of the game and the number of puzzles are designed for a maximum of 6 people, so it might be a bit crowded, but fun is still guaranteed.

Question 5

Do you offer any discounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We want the fun to be accessible to everyone, which is why we offer discounts for students (with a valid student ID), MultiSport card users, a discount for dressing up in retro outfits, and various special promotions. Make sure to check all the details and conditions on our Discounts page.

Question 6

Can we celebrate a birthday or organize a surprise?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Our escape room is a perfect activity for birthdays, anniversaries, or team building. If you want to bring a gift for the person celebrating, we will gladly hide it in the room beforehand so they can find it while solving the puzzles. If you have any other special ideas, just let us know and we'll be happy to help you make them happen!

Question 7

Who can play, and is there an age limit?

Accepted Answer

Everyone is welcome – young, old, couples, singles, and families! To play independently, you must be 14 or older. Children under 14 are more than welcome, but only if accompanied by at least one adult for the entire duration of the game.

Question 8

Do we need prior knowledge of the 70s to solve the puzzles?

Accepted Answer

No! Even though the room is inspired by the 1970s, no historical background knowledge is needed. We are not testing your general knowledge or intelligence. Everything you need to solve the room (your own instinct, logic, and teamwork) is already inside.

Question 9

What should we wear?

Accepted Answer

There are no physical obstacles, crawling, or getting dirty in the room, so come in whatever makes you feel the most comfortable. Tip: If your entire team dresses in a 70s retro style, you get a special discount!

Question 10

When should we arrive, and what happens if we are late?

Accepted Answer

Please arrive exactly at the time of your reservation or just a few minutes early. It is very important that you are not late! Since our schedule is carefully planned, in the event of a significant delay, your game will unfortunately have to be shortened so that we do not push back the teams arriving after you.

Question 11

How can I pay for the game?

Accepted Answer

Payment is made on-site, in cash only.

Question 12

Is the space accessible for people with disabilities?

Accepted Answer

The game itself does not require physical exertion. However, there are 5 steps leading up to the entrance, so wheelchair access is not obstacle-free. If you have specific questions regarding accessibility or if you are unsure whether the room is suitable for someone on your team, please contact us before booking so we can describe the space firsthand and see if we can find a solution.

Question 13

What languages is the game available in?

Accepted Answer

All puzzles in the room are completely bilingual, so the game can easily be played in Croatian or English.

Question 14

What if we get stuck on a puzzle?

Accepted Answer

Don't worry! Your Game Master monitors you the whole time via cameras and microphones. If you get stuck, they will jump in with thematic hints that blend perfectly into the room's story without breaking your immersion. The number of hints is unlimited.

Question 15

Where can we park?

We recommend parking in Zone 2 (Yellow zone):Along Trakošćanska streetZonar parking (3-min walk)Dom sportova or Tržnica Trešnjevka (Trešnjevka Market) (6-min walk)Payment (Zone 2): The price is 0.70 €/h (max 3h).
