I agree to the following: 

ARTICLE I: Informed Participation
In exchange for participation in the activities offered by Optimumview Enterprises LLC d/b/a OB-Xscape Rooms (hereinafter referred to as “OB-Xscape Rooms”) at 1 Ocean Boulevard, Suite 109-111, Southern Shores, North Carolina 27949 and/or for the use of the property, facilities and services of OB-Xscape Rooms (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Activities”), I agree for myself and for those members of my party for whom I am legally responsible, to the following:
OB-Xscape Rooms may place us, the participants/players, in a series of rooms and the players will rely upon clues and puzzles to enable us to escape from each room in the series. Each room contains furniture and objects consistent with the theme of the room. I understand and acknowledge that the Activity will be explained to me prior to my participation in the Activity, and I further understand and acknowledge that I have the right to not participate in the Activity. I understand I hereby expressly waive and release any and all claims, now known or hereafter known in any jurisdiction throughout the world, against the OB-Xscape Rooms, and its officers, managers, employees, agents, affiliates, members, successors and assigns (collectively, “Releasees“), arising out of or attributable to my participation in the Activity, whether arising out of the negligence of OB-Xscape Rooms or any Releasees or otherwise. I covenant not to make or bring any such claim against OB-Xscape Rooms or any other Releasee, and forever release and discharge OB-Xscape Rooms and all other Releases from liability under such claims.
IMPORTANT: Players under 14 years of age must be accompanied by another player 14 years or older in the escape room with Minor(s).

ARTICLE II: Distress
In some rooms, the participants may be voluntarily handcuffed and/or blindfolded. I fully understand and acknowledge that (a) participation in the Activities may be emotionally demanding, create fear or claustrophobia, or result in inadvertent bodily injury; (b) risks and dangers exist and arise from participation in the Activities; and (c) the said risks and dangers may be caused by, among other causes, physical or psychological responses to the Activities, forces of nature, and/or the actions or inactions of myself and others. I hereby assume all risks and dangers and assume full responsibility for (a) loss of or damage to personal property belonging to myself and my family as a result of or arising from the Activities; and (b) personal injury to myself and my family members as a result of or arising from the Activities. I affirm that I willingly participate in this activity, with the full knowledge that if at any point I choose to end my participation, I can do so by leaving through the emergency exit or the respective escape room’s entry door and returning to the lobby.

I agree to pay for damages to the facility, escape room props, or equipment of OB-Xscape Rooms caused by me or my party’s gross negligence, reckless, or willful malicious actions.

I hereby release and discharge and agree to indemnify and defend OB-Xscape Rooms, its owners, employees, officers and agents, from and against any and all claims, causes of action, damages, judgments, costs or expenses, including attorneys’ fees and other litigation costs, which may in any way arise out of or from my or my family’s use of or participation in the Activities.
Any legal claim that may arise from participation in the Activities shall be resolved under North Carolina law. I hereby submit to the jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts for Dare County, North Carolina.
