“Thank you for making everything easy! We had a great time, it made for a wonderful 50th birthday surprise. Thank you again.” – Matt D. (5/5 Stars)
“My daughter insisted on doing an escape room for her 10th birthday party. I knew she and her friends would probably be a little too young to solve the puzzles, but would enjoy the experience. On the evening of our reservation, the Ten Letters staff exceeded my expectations and were so patient with our group. They gave as many hints as we needed, and even afforded us a little extra time to complete the room. My daughter and her friends had a great time and I was so impressed!” – Brooke J. (5/5 Stars)
“OMG!! We had so much fun!! My kiddos creativity and puzzle solving ideas astounded me! We will definitely be back.” – Amy G. (5/5 Stars)
“We had a great time with Heist 512. Everyone in our group, from age 10 to 68, loved the theme and found the room challenging.” – Sarah K. (5/5 Stars)
Went to the escape room for my daughters 13th birthday, and it was a hit. The employees were wonderful and a great help for our group. We will definitely be coming back! – Danielle N. (5/5 Stars)
We had a great time with a group for my daughter’s birthday party. – Brian E. (5/5 Stars)
Private Parties at Tenletters
When you host your birthday / anniversary / bar mitzvah / other-reason-to celebrate party at Tenletters, we block all of our rooms – The Miner’s Millions and Heist at 512 and The Puzzler’s Lair – just for you! We can have up to 7 players in Miner’s, 7 players in Heist, and 4 players in Puzzler’s Lair (18 players total), and we’ll run the games simultaneously. If you want a longer experience, you can book 2 rounds of game play, allowing everyone to play one room, then switch places and play another room as well. We close the business to any other play during your event, so you have the entire space to yourselves! We also have a 9-hole mini golf course on property, if you want to add that to your event, after the escape room(s)!
We have a refrigerator and freezer available for keeping food/cake(s) and drinks cold, and it’s all yours during your blocked time. We also have two 8′ folding tables with folding chairs that we can set up in our lobby outside the game rooms. Note, we do not provide any food or beverage, and we do not provide any party supplies. We simply provide the space, the fridge to keep stuff cold, and the tables for everyone to gather around. You bring your desired tablecloths, plastic/paper ware, plates, food, drinks, napkins, etc. We will, however, help you with the setup and cleanup, and we’ll take care of trash disposal.
We’re surrounded by fantastic restaurants in Old Town Erie, so consider getting their food to go and bringing it in, or playing our rooms and eating within walking distance, before or after your game(s). We’ve got Blackjack Pizza across the street, The Old Mine and Sweets next door to our south, Wapos next door to our north, and Birdhouse, Lucile’s, 24 Carrot Bistro, Echo Brewing Co., Azteca Mexican Restaurant, and Piripi a 2-minute walk to the north.
To book your private party, please use our online Private Party Request Form. We’ll review your information and contact you to confirm the details, the date, and the time. Thank you!
FAQs
Q: Do you have an age limit for your escape rooms?
A: We don’t technically have an age limit, but our rooms are challenging! We ask that any group playing a room has at least one person age 14+ in the room, otherwise there’s almost zero chance the room will be won. So, if you have a group of 11 year olds for your birthday party, you’ll need to plan for an older sibling or a parent to be in the room assisting them with the puzzles. We don’t recommend having little kids in the rooms (under 7 yrs old)… they’ll probably get bored and restless.
Q: How long do we get the rooms for, with a private party?
A: When you book a private party at Tenletters, you can book our 1.5 hour party block (up to 18 players, 1 game), or our 2.5 hour party block (up to 18 players, 2 rounds of games). The 1.5 hour block includes 1 game for all participants, plus 30 minutes for food/cake in the lobby. The 2.5 hour block includes 2 games for all participants, where players get to play one room and then switch and play another room, plus 30 minutes for food/cake in the lobby.
Q: How much does it cost to host a private party at Tenletters?
A: Pro tip: consider booking a weekday for your party, as it’s much cheaper. Our private party fee for blocking Tenletters on a weekday (Mon-Thurs) for games and food/cake afterward is a flat $400 for the 1.5 hour block (1 round of games), or $700 for the 2.5 hour block (2 rounds of games). Our private party fee for weekends (Fri-Sun) is a flat $700 for the 1.5 hour block, or $1,000 for the 2.5 hour block. We can host up to 18 players for your party, whether weekday or weekend.
Q: How do we book a private party at Tenletters?
A: To book your party, please use our online Private Party Request Form. We’ll review your information and contact you to confirm the details, the date, and the time. Thank you!
Q: What if we want to have a smaller party, with just one of the rooms?
A: If you’re planning to have a smaller group for your party (6 players or fewer), we recommend simply booking a game through our normal booking engine, as a regular group. We can’t block our lobby and other room to the public for a small party, but we’d love to be part of your celebration, so consider booking a game for 6 or fewer, before or after your food and cake!
