Can your team succeed?
Mystery Adventures
(like escape rooms, without the locked door)
If your looking for things to do in Riverside, a fantastic date night, family fun, or a perfect add-on to a team-building night with your club or friend group, Nevermore’s escape-room style Mystery Adventures are the perfectly bite-sized challenge. Taking take place in our specialized fantasy rooms, current pricing is $50 per adventure (for your entire party) and they are appropriate for up to 5 brave souls. All of our adventures are family-friendly and a perfect introduction to the escape-room genre. There are no locked doors (to get out of, that is), and the adventures are not time-limited, meaning you have the leisure to set your own pace and appreciate the puzzles. Each of our adventures takes anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.
As a bonus, the whole party is welcome to stay and enjoy our library of tabletop games and experiences after their adventure!
Consider these magical options:
Defeat of the Lich Lord, a Dungeon Adventure
The Dungeon room sits at the heart of Nevermore, an eerie den of ancient intrigue. But there have been disturbing hints of an ancient… something…lurking within its walls. We are in need of a few brave adventurers to return it to its normal level of simple creepiness. This Dungeons & Dragons themed fantasy quest is a perfect low-key introduction to the escape-room phenomenon. The successful party will be rewarded!
“Poe’s Ghost”, A Tavern Adventure
The strange circumstance surrounding the death of Edgar Alan Poe is one of the great lingering mysteries of history. No, our own Nevermore tavern, The Wretched Raven, has become haunted by a ghost with a keen resemblance to E. A. Poe. The task for your team: decipher the clues to figure out what this lingering spirit needs. A romantically literary quest for book nerds and puzzle solvers. Free this tormented soul, and send it off to the afterlife it deserves.
The Fairytale Curse
Fairy-tale heroes make it look so easy! When the local Princess falls victim to a deathly curse, it falls upon your merry band to seek out a cure. The cottage of the old Witch is filled with artifacts from across this realm of Fairy Tales. Surely somewhere in this magical mess must be the answer to the Kingdom’s woes! Taking place in our Apothecary room, just off the Courtyard, this fantasy adventure is for lovers of whimsy and clever riddles. Your party of would-be heroes is going to need a bit of lateral thinking, and a dash of humor, to puzzle your way through the Witch’s recipes and ingredients, if you’re to save the Kingdom. Like all of our mystery adventures, this quest includes an all-day pass for every member of your group to enjoy Nevermore’s library of games & experiences.
The Fairytale Curse Mystery Adventure is currently in Early Access. The room is 100% complete, and open for reservations, but as it requires our puzzle-master to be in attendance, we do ask that reservations be made through email inquiry, rather than through our online booking system. Please contact us directly at nevermoregameclub@gmail.com to make a reservation
NEW to ESCAPE ROOMS? QUESTIONS? ASK!
What’s an Escape Room?
An “escape room” is a physical puzzle, usually laid out in one or more connected rooms, in which your group looks through clues in the environment, unlocks or discovers hidden tools or information, and eventually figures out how to ‘escape’ the overall puzzle.
How is a “Mystery Adventure” different?
For starters, you’re not locked in. We find people don’t actually appreciate it. Instead, you have access to the room and its puzzles, but if you need to step out to take a breather, that’s just fine.
How long do these last?
Nevermore’s escape room mystery adventures are designed as introductions to the genre. We find most guests take between 30 and 60 minutes.
Can we get hints?
Absotively! With your handy-dandy Hint Bell, you can call in a guide at any time. We carefully give you exactly as much, and as little, hint as you want – we will NEVER simply spoil a puzzle for you.
Rewards?
Secret. In addition to your escape room adventure, every reservation includes full access to Nevermore for the remainder of your day. Aaaaand, there may be a little something extra…
