Participant waiver

Draft wording, pending legal review.

Whitehouse Escapes, LLC ("The Whitehouse," "we," "us") operates a mobile escape room inside a trailer. Please read this agreement carefully before playing. By signing, you agree to everything below.

1. What to expect

The escape room is designed to be immersive and, at times, startling. During the game you may experience:

  • Loud noises, including sudden sound effects, music and audio clues.
  • Flashing, strobe or changing lights, as well as periods of low light or darkness.
  • A small, enclosed space inside a trailer, with other players nearby.
  • Physical activity, such as searching, reaching, bending, kneeling and handling objects.
  • Props and set pieces, some of which may be fragile, breakable or have small parts.

2. Health and safety

I confirm that I, and any minor I am signing for, are able to take part safely. I understand that the game may not be suitable for people who:

  • have epilepsy, seizures or sensitivity to flashing or strobe lights
  • have heart conditions, high blood pressure or are pregnant
  • have anxiety, claustrophobia or a fear of the dark
  • are sensitive to loud or sudden sounds

If any of these apply, I agree to tell staff before the game starts. I understand that I may stop playing and leave the room at any time by telling staff or using the exit.

3. Rules of play

I agree to:

  • follow all instructions from Whitehouse staff
  • handle props gently and never use force on locks, walls, fixtures or set pieces
  • not climb on, stand on or hang from anything
  • not bring food, drinks, weapons or open flames into the room
  • not take part under the influence of alcohol or drugs

Staff may end the game for anyone who does not follow these rules, without a refund.

4. Assumption of risk

I understand that taking part involves risks, including slips, trips, falls, bumps, minor cuts or bruises, being startled, and reactions to sound or light effects. I knowingly and voluntarily accept these risks for myself and any minor I am signing for.

5. Damage and breakage

Some items in the room are fragile or breakable. I agree to treat all props, equipment and set pieces with care.

If I, or a minor I am signing for, damage or break any item through misuse, rough handling, or by not following the rules or staff instructions, I agree to be responsible for the reasonable cost to repair or replace that item, as determined by The Whitehouse.

Normal wear and tear from ordinary, careful play is not charged.

6. Release of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by Idaho law, I release Whitehouse Escapes, LLC, its owners, employees and agents from any claims for injury, illness, loss or damage arising from my participation, or that of any minor I am signing for. This does not apply to injuries caused by gross negligence or intentional misconduct.

7. Minors

If I am signing for anyone under 18, I confirm that I am their parent or legal guardian, or have the authority to sign for them. I agree to these terms on their behalf, and I accept responsibility for their conduct and for any damage they cause under Section 5.

8. Photos (optional)

If I tick the photo box, The Whitehouse may take photos of me and the minors listed during the game and share them in my group's private online gallery. Galleries are deleted one year after the event. If I also tick the social media box, The Whitehouse may post those photos on its social media.

9. Updates (optional)

If I tick the updates box, The Whitehouse may email me when new rooms open and about special offers. I can unsubscribe at any time.

10. How long this lasts

This waiver is valid for one year from the date I sign it and covers every visit during that time.
