Escape Rooms

Escapology is the world’s largest and fastest-growing escape room franchise. In our escape games, your team will complete a specific mission in a fully themed, immersive game room - that’s always private for just your group. During your thrilling 60-minute experience, you’ll be immersed in a real-life adventure with fun surprises around every corner. Coming to Escapology means experiencing our premium escape rooms, beautiful lobbies, and 5-star experiences. You’ll find hidden clues, crack codes, solve challenging puzzles… and try to escape before the clock runs out!

Yes. Escapology is proud to provide an experience where everyone can play and escape. Depending on your choice of game, some players may benefit from assistance with certain puzzles. Please contact us with any accessibility-related questions or requests.

You’ll want to allow 90 minutes for your entire experience at Escapology. Please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes before your start time. The game itself lasts 60 minutes (though you might escape sooner than that)! After time runs out, your Game Host will debrief your team and take a complimentary group photo.

For a fully immersive experience, we recommend that you remain in the room until you escape but we understand that you may need to use the restroom or exit the room for another reason. For safety’s sake, all our rooms stay unlocked throughout every game. In the unlikely event of an emergency, you are free to exit at any time.

You can ask your Game Master for as many hints as you need. They’ll be carefully monitoring your group’s progress from Mission Control and can give you hints, nudges, or guidance if you’re stuck and don’t know what to do next.

Escapology is great for large groups, holiday parties, birthday parties, team building events and more. Please contact us to discuss how we can tailor our event packages to your group’s needs.

Please plan to arrive at least 20 minutes before your game time so you can check in and get set up for your game to start right on schedule.

You’re welcome to use your cell phone in our lobby during the check-in process. Once it gets close to game time, we’ll show you where you can store your phones while you play. To keep our games fun for everyone and not ruin any puzzle solutions, photography and filming with cell phones, electronic devices, and other outside tools are strictly prohibited in the escape rooms.

No. For everyone’s safety, our escape rooms always remain unlocked. That said, our 5-star rooms are so immersive that you might feel like you’re really locked in. Just know that you’re free to step out at any time.

Come (play) as you are! So you can fully focus on the fun, we do recommend comfortable clothing and footwear.
