Frequently Asked Questions
Your Virginia Escape Room Destination
The idea of an escape room is that you enter a themed room and have 60 minutes to escape by completing puzzles. You must use your teammates, your wits, and clues all around to solve puzzles, open locks, and ultimately…ESCAPE!
No. The goal of each escape room adventure is to find an alternative exit. That being said, you are still free to leave the room as necessary but the game clock will continue to run.
Our escape room experiences will depend on how skilled the players are at solving the puzzles but most groups tend to finish the rooms in around 60 minutes.
Escape rooms are fun for all ages. We recommend 5 and up. Children under the age of 13 must have an accompanying player (18+) present in the room with them.
We offer different pricing based on the size of your party. We do require a minimum of 2 persons to play a room.
- 1-2 Persons — $36/each
- 3 Persons — $33/each
- 4 Persons — $30/each
- 5-7 Persons — $28/each
We offer a variety of themes at Hidden Gems Escape Rooms. We currently have Elixir Inc, a lab adventure, and Sleepy Hollow available. We will be adding new rooms in the near future.

Escape Room Reviews
This was a really cool room. You can tell the owners took a lot of time to think it through and put time and effort into the decor and ambiance. Very well put together!
Super great room flowed well made sense. Overall great atmosphere and ambiance. The puzzles were challenging but no too hard. The staff was super nice and helpful. I recommend this room for both enthusiasts and new players.
Awesome time during sleepy hollow! We’ll be back 🙂 the owners were awesome and are escape room enthusiasts, so the rooms were really made well. I cannot wait to try the next rooms!! Totally worth coming to
I had never been to an escape room before. I did not know what to expect. I had more fun doing this than anything I haven’t done in a long time. The people who operate this were very helpful and explained everything we needed to know before we started. The room that we played was based on sleepy Hollow. it was so much fun that I will definitely be going back to try one of the other rooms that they have created. I give this place AAAAAAAA+++++++++. Thanks a lot hidden gems for providing us with a fun filled night of entertainment.
You need to find some time and do this room. They are brand new and they really care about the rooms they have. My wife and I did this room and it was such a good balance of good puzzles and fun. Cannot wait to go back.
I love immersive escape rooms and this one will indeed transport you to “Sleepy Hollow.” This would be the easier of the two rooms but it didn’t make it any less fun! There were lots of cool tricks that they managed to add into this room making it really mesmerizing at points! I love that with Hidden Gems you really have to pay attention to the details to be able to do well in the rooms! It was a ton of fun and I would highly recommend!
Me and my wife love escape rooms and this place was phenomenal! We did their Sleepy Hollow escape room and it was a blast! The owners were very welcoming and added to our great experience. Its so nice to have this in the Mechanicsville/Hanover area. We’ll definitely be back to do more!
Absolutely a hidden gem! My wife and I did sleepy hollow and it was probably the best experience we’ve had over a dozen rooms and locations! The artwork and design was wonderful and all of the puzzles were exciting and interesting! The owners were so friendly and polite and made our experience that much better! Will definitely be doing their second room asap! Thank y’all so much!
