If I have a party of 2 and want to do the room alone, I have to pay about $200 based on what your website states for private rooms? That seems extremely steep, is this the case?

Hey Dylan! If you would like a private experience, you can block the remaining spots at a 50% discount. With only two players, the rough estimate you gave is accurate. We think you will have a great time if others join your game, we see it happen everyday!

The experience isn't at all lessened by playing with people you just met. I'd also argue that you'll have a fairly difficult time with just two people. There are other escape rooms in LA that give you the whole room, if you're dead set against playing with strangers.

Then don't go
