When the rain sets in, one of the easiest things to do from South Surrey and White Rock is a short drive north to CipherX Delta at 7949 120 St, on Scott Road right at the Surrey border. Under one roof you’ll find escape rooms, free-roam VR, X-Grid, a rage room, a splatter room and slime parties, plus axe throwing and a golf simulator that are only at our Delta location. Doors open at 11 AM on weekends, and it stays open until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.
Why Head North to CipherX Delta on a Wet Day
Rain doesn’t have to cancel the plan; it just moves it indoors. At CipherX Delta, you park once and choose from eight different experiences, so a mixed group can split up or stick together without driving between venues.
It’s also a practical choice for Peninsula households. The venue sits on Scott Road where Delta meets Surrey, a short drive north for most of South Surrey and White Rock. Traffic varies, especially on weekday evenings, so check your map app before you leave. If you’re coming from elsewhere in the city, our page for Surrey visitors has the essentials.

Families with younger kids
Start with the Pirates escape room, a beginner, family-friendly room where you’ve been captured by Captain Grimbeard and locked in the hold of The Black Skull. Load the cannon, blast through the door and escape before the pirates return. It runs 60 minutes for 2–6 players at $35 per person, and a live Game Master keeps things moving if you get stuck.
The splatter room is another rainy-day winner: paint your own canvas, then switch to a blacklight UV paint battle, with suits and gear included. The paint is safe for all ages, and everyone takes their canvas home. For kids who need to burn off energy, X-Grid’s light-up floor is open to ages 5+ (under 16 with an adult), and free-roam VR at Delta includes all-ages titles such as Arctic Olympics, The Smurfs and Space Academy.
Teens
Free-roam VR is a strong pick for teens: wireless headsets, room to walk freely and up to six players per session. At Delta, 12+ titles include Recoil and Cyber Clash for head-to-head play and B-Block Breakout for a co-op prison escape. Horror fans aged 13+ can try Don’t Scream or Mansion of Death, and Lilith is an expert-level horror escape room for groups who want a proper scare.
Couples
Escape rooms work well for two, since every room takes 2–6 players. Try The Lost Nimbus, an intermediate wizarding-themed room where you sneak into Dumbledore’s secret office, or compare all our escape rooms to find your theme. A round on the golf simulator or a messy session in the splatter room makes a fun rainy date too.
Friends and coworkers
Groups looking for something competitive should try axe throwing, available only at Delta. Sessions are 60 minutes and coached by an instructor, with a safety briefing, technique tutorial, practice rounds and a mini tournament, and groups get private lanes. It’s for teens and adults; check the axe throwing page for age rules. Follow up with the rage room, where $50 per person covers 12 glass bottles, a car windshield and full protective gear.
Golfers waiting out the weather
When the course is soaked, the golf simulator keeps your swing in shape. It runs E6 Connect with 100+ photo-realistic courses, including Pebble Beach, St Andrews, Spyglass Hill and Chateau Whistler, and full swing analytics show what every shot did. Rentals are hourly for 1–6 players, clubs are provided, and an 18-hole round for two typically takes 1.5 to 2 hours.
Birthdays and work groups
A rainy-season birthday is easy to move indoors. CipherX’s flat-rate party packages start at $250 for 6 kids and pair an hour of activity with an hour in a private party room, and outside cake and food are welcome. Older birthday crews at Delta can add axe throwing or the golf simulator. Work groups of 5 to 50+ get private sessions, with a coordinator to help plan.
Plan a Rainy Weekend Around Delta Hours
| Day | CipherX Delta hours |
|---|---|
| Monday to Thursday | 12 PM to 11 PM |
| Friday | 12 PM to 12 AM |
| Saturday | 11 AM to 12 AM |
| Sunday | 11 AM to 11 PM |
A simple rainy Saturday: a slow breakfast at home, then an escape room soon after doors open at 11 AM. Follow it with lunch nearby and a round of VR or X-Grid, or save the golf simulator for an evening with friends. If the clouds break on the drive home, a walk along the White Rock waterfront rounds out the day nicely.

Tips for a Smooth Rainy-Day Visit
- Book ahead. Indoor plans are popular when the forecast turns wet, and booking online is the easiest way to lock in the time you want.
- Arrive 15 minutes early. That leaves time for check-in, the briefing and waivers, plus a few minutes to park and get in out of the rain.
- Dress for the activity. X-Grid requires closed-toe shoes. Splatter suits and rage room protective gear are provided, but wear clothes you’re comfortable moving in.
- Coming by transit? CipherX Delta is about 5 minutes from Scott Road SkyTrain Station, so teens without a ride can plan their trip with TransLink.
- Bring a dry layer. A spare hoodie in the car is welcome after a dash through the rain.
- Mix energy levels. Pair something intense, like the rage room or axe throwing, with something calmer, like golf or an escape room.
