MADISON ESCAPE ROOM FIELD GUIDE
Jurassic: Race the Clock in a Top‑Secret Lab Where Power, Eggs and Extraction Hang in the Balance
A 60‑minute, team‑based escape room in Madison that tasks players (ages 12+) with restoring power, securing research and reaching a helicopter extraction before time runs out—this guide explains what to expect and how to prepare.
Jurassic: Race the Clock in a Top‑Secret Lab Where Power, Eggs and Extraction Hang in the Balance.
You and your team are staff at a secluded, top‑secret genetics lab; a sudden crash plunges the facility into darkness, safety fences are compromised and the threat of dinosaurs is real. The objective is blunt and urgent: restore power, make the lab operational, secure the research and reach the landing site to call a helicopter for extraction before the hour is up.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
Dinos, Data and a Real Sense of Urgency
The scenario layers tangible jeopardy—compromised perimeter fences, a blackout and the possibility of large dinosaurs—on top of a classic puzzle rush, forcing teams to prioritize power, research preservation and extraction under a strict time limit.
A Top‑Secret Island Laboratory in Darkness
The experience unfolds inside a secure laboratory environment where cement walls, damaged safety systems and failing infrastructure create a claustrophobic, high‑stakes backdrop for the puzzles and tasks you must complete.
Restore Power, Secure the Research, Call the Chopper
Gameplay centers on restoring power to the lab, ensuring core research (and dinosaur eggs) are safe, and making your way to the landing site to call a helicopter extraction before time runs out.

What the Hour Feels Like
From a brisk briefing to a blackout that rearranges priorities, the hour is a compressed arc: diagnose the power failure, sequence the actions that bring systems back online, protect delicate research and navigate to the landing site to call for extraction. The clock is explicit—every puzzle solved is progress toward a tangible, cinematic end: a helicopter lift‑out.
