Escape Room Zone's Waterford rooms sit inside Zap Zone Waterford, a family fun center on North Oakland Boulevard with laser tag, an arcade and more. Four 60-minute rooms are bookable: Airlock, Pirates of the Dark Sea, Dragon's Heart and The Morgue. Escape rooms are sold separately from the center's day passes, and every booking is private. The Morgue is set in a morgue at night, but there are no live actors and no jump scares.

  • Laser tag and an arcade under the same roof
  • A morgue room with no actors and no jump scares
  • $25 basic rooms on Tuesdays
