FONTANA ESCAPE ROOM FIELD GUIDE
Close Encounters: A 60‑Minute Rescue Mission on an Alien World
A one-hour escape-room experience in Fontana that tasks teams with locating a missing expedition and recovering critical research before time runs out.
Close Encounters: A 60‑Minute Rescue Mission on an Alien World.
You step into a contained, otherworldly scenario: your team has been dispatched to an alien planet after a distress signal. The early expedition sent to observe and retrieve alien life forms has gone missing, and a hostile environment — populated by mysterious creatures — now threatens the mission’s objective. With just 60 minutes to locate the lost team and recover their research, the pressure is immediate and the stakes feel far larger than the room.

Hostile environment and mysterious creatures
