What To Expect

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 five uniquely immersive games:
- 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!
- The Heist: Recover a stolen masterpiece from an art thief!
- Mission: Mars: Launch your spaceship from the Red Planet!

Additional Info

  • 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.
