Frequently asked questions

Have you ever wanted to solve a murder mystery? Or dive into the search for sunken treasure? At Mind Bender, you can! With four escape games in a range of difficulties, both new and experienced escape artists alike can solve hands-on puzzles, search for interactive clues, and have an adventure like no other.  Our escape games are great for teambuilding events, family fun, and date night!

Your team gets an hour to complete your escape. We recommend your team arrive 5 - 10 minutes before your scheduled time to sign waivers and use our provided lockers and bathrooms before you begin. Overall, we would recommend you allot 1.5 hours for your visit.  

While there is no age minimum to play our games, we do not recommend our rooms to players 4 and under. We find that younger escapees have a hard time interacting with and understanding our puzzles.  All groups must have at least one (1) player over 18 years of age. We do not accept groups of unaccompanied minors. 

We do not allow food, drink, vapes/tobacco products, or cell phones in our game rooms. Any personal items can be locked in one of our provided lockers while you play. These lockers are secured with a key you take with you into your game and are monitored by our security cameras, so you can play without worrying about your valuables. 

Cell phones are not allowed in our rooms for the use of audio/video recording,  the internet, and as to not disturb other players. Please put your phone on silent before putting your phone in our lockers as to not disturb other guests. 

While there are not clothing requirements, closed-toed shoes are best for our rooms, and a light jacket is recommended through the cooler seasons. For more specific information, call our store at (270) 495 0251 and speak with one of our escape artists. 

There are no live actors in our rooms.  Our rooms may feature short periods of darkness (without flashing lights), suspenseful soundtracks, and/or intense scenarios. The Hunt (10/10 difficulty) is our most intense room and features one opportunity for a small scare. Our rooms are not designed to be spooky or scary. 

On each of our game pages, you will notice a difficulty rating. These ratings have been determined by the difficulty of the puzzles, customer feedback, and customer escape rates (how many teams escape v.s do not), and are as follows: 

• Captain Mayhem's Revenge - 5/10 difficulty (great for those new to escape games)
• Jewel Heist - 6/10 difficulty (perfect for new and experienced teams alike)
• Jack the Ripper - 9/10 difficulty (excellent for moderately experienced escapees) 
• The Hunt - 10/10 difficulty (fantastic for escape artists looking for a challenge)

Changes to our pre-existing rooms occur all the time! However, large overhauls of puzzles or themes are made roughly once a year. We currently have a room in progress as well, which is targeted to be playable in late 2024. For updates on our upcoming changes, head to our Instagram @mindbenderescapebg . 

We ask that  all players sign a waiver before playing one of our four escape games. These waivers are to ensure you understand that as long as you follow the rules, you will not get hurt. We also have you on audio and video to communicate with you while you play.  Players under the age of 18 must have their waiver signed by a parent or guardian. Waivers can be signed on our website or in-store upon your arrival. 

Tickets are priced at roughly $29 per person after tax. We offer Student and Military ID discounts, as well as discounts for large and private events. If your group qualifies for a discount, reach out to our team so we can book your group with the appropriate discount. Student and Military ID discounts are only valid if a Student (WKU or other college ID) or Military ID are present upon arrival to your appointment.
