Bunker Escape Room: Survive the Underground in Dublin

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is this game scary?

  The Bunker is a tense, atmospheric Cold War thriller — but it is not a horror experience. You'll encounter dim lighting, a claustrophobic underground setting, and a genuinely suspenseful storyline as you race to prevent a catastrophic event, but there are no jump scares or horror elements. Think thrilling spy drama rather than haunted house — if you enjoy mystery, intrigue, and a race against the clock, The Bunker is perfect. It runs for 75 minutes, making it our longest game and one of our most immersive.
• Is the game suitable for children?

  The Bunker is best suited to players aged 12 and above who enjoy mystery, adventure, and Cold War history themes. The dim lighting and enclosed spaces may be unsettling for very young children, and the puzzles are designed with older players in mind. For younger children or those looking for a lighter, more family-friendly experience, we highly recommend King's Quest, our medieval adventure room that's perfect for school groups and birthday parties. As always, a participating adult must accompany any player aged 15 or under.
• Is the game suitable for pregnant people/those with epilepsy/mobility issues?

  The Bunker contains dim lighting and some enclosed spaces, and features tight walkways and narrow doorways which may present challenges for wheelchair users or those with significant mobility limitations. There are no strobe lights or jump scares, which makes it more accessible than our horror rooms for those with epilepsy or anxiety — but we always recommend choosing the room you feel most comfortable with. Pregnant players should consider whether enclosed, dimly lit environments are right for them; Baker Street Mystery is our most comfortable and well-lit alternative. If you have specific accessibility concerns, please contact us at info@incognitoescaperoom.ie before booking and we'll be happy to advise.
• Do I need to know anything in advance to solve the puzzles?

  No prior knowledge is needed — everything you need to solve the Bunker's puzzles is already inside the room waiting to be discovered. The game is designed to be solved through observation, logical thinking, and teamwork rather than any specialist knowledge of the Cold War or cryptography. Your game master will give you a full briefing before you start, and hints are available throughout if your team gets stuck. Just bring your curiosity, your communication skills, and a willingness to explore every corner of the bunker!
