How do I know that my reservation has been processed correctly?

If you can’t find the email, check your spam folder. If you need us to verify the data, tell us the name, email and telephone number used when booking.

How much does it cost and how do you pay?

The price varies depending on the number of players and is updated in the reservation calendar of the chosen city and experience.

When booking you can pay the full amount with a card online or leave a deposit with a card and pay the rest in cash on the day of the session, before entering.

Why do you have to pay before starting and why don’t you accept cards at the premises?

Payment is closed before starting to avoid delays that harm subsequent groups. If after starting the session you had to go out to find an ATM or resolve an incident, the entire operation would be displaced.

Furthermore, it is part of the coherence of the story: you come to hire a cryogenization service before entering the capsules; It wouldn’t make sense to pay the cryogenizer 500 years later. You can pay everything online with a card or leave a deposit and bring the rest in cash.

Is there availability for today or this week?

For a session on the same day or with very little notice, write to us directly indicating city, number of players and approximate time. We will consult the team and respond as soon as possible.
