Why AURORA Works For A Group

One Room, Your Whole Party

AURORA is a large, mechanical, non-horror escape experience. It is a private booking by default, so nobody outside your group is ever in the room with you.

Private by default

Every session is booked for one party only. No strangers, no sharing, no waiting for another group to finish before you start.

English or Chinese

The briefing, the clues, the actors and the whole performance run in the language you pick. Mixed-language groups can be split by session.

Built for mixed ages

Non-horror, no jump scares, no actor-to-player touching, light climbing only. Recommended from age 8, and adults stay busy the whole way through.

How A Big Group Runs

By Group Size

AURORA takes 4–7 players per session, so a larger group plays in back-to-back sessions on the same visit. Everyone stays on site, locks their bags, and the next team goes straight in.

Group sizeHow it runsTime on sitePrice basis
8 – 14 guests Two consecutive sessions. Team A plays while Team B watches the briefing in the lounge, then they swap. About 2.5 hours Per session · quoted on the date
15 – 28 guests Three to four consecutive sessions. We set an order and a run sheet before you arrive so nobody has to decide on the day. About 3.5 hours Per session · quoted on the date
29 – 60 guests Multi-session event with a dedicated host running the rotation. We can pair it with a private space for food or drinks nearby. Half a day Quoted per event
Fewer than 4 Still possible — email us with your city and date and we will find you a slot. 100–115 minutes —

Group pricing depends on the city, the date and how many sessions you need — so we quote it rather than publish a number that would be wrong half the time. Single sessions start at CNY 288 per person (≈ US$40).

Good To Know

Group Questions

Can we all play at the same time?

One room holds 4–7 players, so a larger group plays in consecutive sessions on the same visit. You will all be on site together, and we agree the running order with you beforehand.

Do you split a big group into teams that compete?

Yes. Most company groups keep the same teams across the whole visit and compare times and scores at the end. Tell us in the enquiry if you want it run that way and we will set the run sheet up for it.

Is it suitable for children, or for people who scare easily?

AURORA is a non-horror theme: no jump scares, no actor-to-player touching, no face-to-face intimidation. It is recommended from age 8. There is light climbing, so comfortable clothes and closed shoes help.

What about food and drinks for a company event?

We do not serve food ourselves, but the venues sit inside malls surrounded by restaurants. Ask us in the enquiry and we will suggest a few places within walking distance that take larger bookings.

How do we pay, and can we get an invoice?

Nothing is paid now. We confirm the plan first, then payment happens before or on the day by Alipay or cash at reception. Say so in the enquiry if you need an invoice for a company expense claim.

What if we need to cancel or move the date?

Cancel 48 or more hours before your start time for a full refund or a free move to another date. Inside 24–48 hours, move the session free or take a 50% refund. Inside 24 hours there is no cash refund, but groups get one free move if you reach us at least 4 hours before the start — and if something outside your control happens, tell us and we will move it rather than keep the money. All times are China Standard Time (CST, UTC+8).
