Solve a spy mystery across Boston’s North End with an app, clue box, and real-world puzzles. See if your group can catch the double agents.
“This was a great experience. It was a bit challenging, but thankfully there were hints. We used the hints to make sure we were on the right track. However, there were a couple of times we were clueless and needed those hints to move us along.”
Solve a murder across Chicago’s Fulton Market with an app, clue box, and real-world puzzles for up to six people.
“It was fun to explore a part of Chicago we may not have ever thought to go to. The experience also brings you into different shops and bars, which was a little odd with kids. It has you open the box and start the mystery on an intersection which made it hard to hear the video. Would be better to open the box and hear the video in the car before hand. We all finished with mixed feelings about this. The clues are challenging and the teens in our group lost interest halfway.”
Solve an Alice in Wonderland mystery while exploring Central Park with a private, self-paced escape room for up to six people.
“Leaving a review isn’t enough to describe how amazing this escape room adventure was! You have to experience it for yourself and if you like adventure and solving puzzles! Believe me, you will enjoy this! The persons/person that created this game did an amazing job. My first time in NY so it was my first time in Central Park. The game made it 3x better”
Solve real-world puzzles around Seattle Center in this private two-hour outdoor escape game for groups of up to six.
“My wife and I had an excellent experience with the adventure! The difficulty level was perfect by my estimation, though I do a lot of escape rooms, so I might be more attuned to the challenge level than a newcomer would be. The amount of area covered and the different ways locations were described were all excellent. Very easy to understand, and took us to some new places in an area we thought we were familiar with. Lots of fun!”

The whole thing was orchestrated amazingly and we had a blast!! We will definitely do this again!! Thanks for the opportunity to have this much fun!!”

Review of Salt Lake City’s outdoor escape room: solve a murder, explore Downtown, and follow app-led clues for two hours.
“This was a really fun activity for our family of six - 2 parents and 4 college age kids. Took us a little under two hours and was definitely a fun way to make our way around downtown Salt Lake City. I think this would be fun for locals as well as people visiting town. We’re frequent visitors bc we have a grad school kid, but also not exactly locals. There was definitely no need to be familiar with the area. The clues were inventive and interesting while showing us hidden nooks and crannies in the downtown area. I also think this was a great cost/time/fun adventure. Can’t wait to…”

Solve a murder mystery while exploring Adams Morgan in this two-hour outdoor escape game for up to six people.
“We did the Escapely outdoor scavenger hunt in Adams Morgan about a year ago and absolutely loved it. Our group was five adults and two kids under 10, and it worked surprisingly well for everyone—the kids participated on and off but stayed engaged the whole time. It was such a fun way to explore Adams Morgan and discover cool spots and details we never would’ve noticed otherwise. We covered a lot of ground, and the neighborhood was perfect for it, with easy pit stops along the way for a drink or a bite to eat. The challenges were clever and thoughtfully designed, especially how they incorporated buildings, street art, and…”
