Is Krampus and the Wicked Elves the same game as Don’t Look Under the Bed?

No. Krampus and the Wicked Elves is a brand-new holiday game. From November 1 through January 30, it takes over the Third Gate Escape building with new games we worked all year long to build. You are walking into a brand-new escape game. It is exciting. It is thrilling. Every game is focused on the Krampus story, and these are not the games you played in Don’t Look Under the Bed.

Is Don’t Look Under the Bed gone?

No. Don’t Look Under the Bed isn’t going anywhere. It’s our signature game, and it comes back after the Krampus season ends on January 30. Already played Don’t Look Under the Bed? Krampus is a whole new reason to come back. Never played either one? Play Krampus this holiday season, then come back for Don’t Look Under the Bed.

Is it a private escape room?

Yes. Always private. You never play with strangers. Your group books the game, and your group plays the game. Nobody else gets added in. Private room, private game, private night, from check-in to the moment you escape (or don’t).

How long do you really get to play?

A full 70 minutes, and the clock doesn’t start until the check-in movie is over. Most escape rooms give you 45 minutes, and many count check-in as part of your time. Not us. You start with our check-in movie, which is super exciting, and your 70 minutes only begin after it ends. A great price, lots of time, a scare actor, a Wicked Little Elf and the most unique games you have ever seen in your life.

Who is your Game Master?

A live Wicked Little Elf, and that changes the game. Yeah, it’s not what you think. Most escape room actors interfere with your game. Ours don’t. Our Wicked Little Elves appear when you least expect them. No other escape room in Las Vegas plays like this.

What kind of games are inside?

Games you have never seen before. They are electrifying, unusual and exciting. Bring your brain. When you hit your aha moment, you are going to scream with excitement because it’s just so cool. You won’t believe it.

What is Krampus and the Wicked Elves about?

The Wicked Little Elves are already inside causing chaos, and you’ll need one of them to help you find that list.
