5 wits or escape room?

[Anonymous]

Trying to plan my 7th grader’s birthday party. He said he wanted to do an escape room but the ones I have looked at have a max of 8. He has a lot of friends and I don’t think he could cut his guest list to 6 without hurting feelings of close friends he hangs out with often.

Is 5 wits appropriate for 12-13 year olds?

They can at least have 12 per game.

5 wits is fun. It's a little more physical than most escape rooms, so I think it would work well for that age.

Bonds Escape room has a couple rooms that can take up to 12 kids - Save the White House in Fairfax and Death by Chocolate or Sleepover Slaughter in Arlington. (they can accommodate 2 extra players past the "standard max participants). We had 11 kids at my son's birthday party and the Fairfax location worked out well - they have a separate party room and the package includes pizza and drinks. You can also get two rooms but that gets $$$$.

Sure. And I love escape rooms, but I don't like doing escape rooms with more than 4.

Since many rooms are now non-linear (in that not all puzzles have to be solved sequentially), if you 6 or more people, you end up escaping the room, but missing out on a lot of puzzles. It def takes away the fun to do a 60 minute room in 25 minutes just because there are 8 people in the room

Most escape rooms I've been to only charge by person, not by room. So 12 kids in 2 rooms is the same price as 12 kids in 1 room

Did you post this like last week? If not, do a search.

We have gone to 5 wits with our kids, 11 and 13. We had a lot of fun but it went very fast! I’m afraid with that many people you’d get through the whole experience in like 10 minutes.
