Frequently Asked Questions
I've attended Clues at the Zoo before. Will the puzzles be the same?
No. All puzzles and clues are different for each Clues at the Zoo event.
Is this timed?
No! Feel free to challenge yourself to get done fast, or take it slow. Guests are welcome to stay until we close at 7:00 pm.
How long will it take?
That’s up to you! In our previous Clues events, some groups chose to solve as quickly as possible and some chose to take their time. Our shortest solve time was about 40 minutes and our longest was almost 2 hours.
Can I bring someone under 15?
Yes! While the puzzles are aimed at teens/adults to solve, feel free to attend as a family.
Do I have to come at the set entry time?
Our entry times are designed to help space out guests in the solving process and prevent bottlenecks. We ask that you try to stick to your entry time when possible, but you will still be able to participate if you arrive later!
