Itinerary

  1. Here’s how it works: You and your team will work together to find clues, solve puzzles, and ultimately complete a mission. Escaping will require teamwork, communication, wits, a sense of adventure, and most importantly: YOU!

    Once you arrive, a dedicated game guide will take you on to your adventure and help you as needed. You will have exactly 60-minutes to complete the mission in your adventure and escape.

    Choose to play one of seven uniquely immersive games:
    - Only Murders in the Building: Help Oliver, Charles, and Mabel find the missing film reel!
    - Gold Rush: Find hidden gold in the California hills!
    - Prison Break: Complete a daring escape from the evil warden!
    - Special Ops: Mysterious Market: Uncover the truth as a secret agent!
    - Playground: Complete your report card and get to summer break!
    -The Depths: Explore the deep sea laboratory!
    -Timeliner: Train Through Time: Save the future!

Good to know

  • Wheelchair accessible
  • Service animals allowed
  • Public transportation options are available nearby
  • Suitable for all physical fitness levels
  • Games are recommended for ages 13 and up. Younger players are allowed, but some of the game content may be too difficult for them. An adult, 18 or older, must participate with anyone that is 14 and under. Also, any participants under the age of 18 will need an adult to sign their waiver.
  • You will be in a room with a locked door, but every door is equipped with an exit button. Should you feel the need to leave the room, you are welcome to do so at any time.
  • Each game is designed for one hour of intense fun! Plan to spend 15 minutes prior to each game preparing and briefing for your mission, and 15 minutes after each game to debrief and take photos.
  • The Escape Game experiences are very different from what you typically see in other escape rooms. These games aren't scary or dark. They are exciting, adventurous, and something all guests can enjoy.
  • Unless you book all the spots in a game, our games have the potential to be shared experiences, which means others could book into your game and join your team.
