Escape rooms near you in 1,000 cities

An escape room is an immersive game experience where you and your team must work together to find objects, uncover clues, and solve puzzles to advance through a story and win your way out.

The vast majority of escape rooms are not scary. But many scary games do exist if that's what you're looking for! The scariest escape games tend to have live actors present, whereas games set in a horror environments without actors are usually merely "spooky." Morty's user reviews will usually tell you roughly how scary a game is. If you really don't want to play a scary room (or maybe if you really do) you can always ask the location's game master prior to booking, and they'll be happy to tell you what to expect.

No. For safety reasons most rooms in the US and much of the world are not actually locked, or have an emergency override, so you can choose to leave at any time. But it’s fun to pretend they are!

There are 3 ways to get out of an escape room. 1. Solve all the puzzles in the room before time is up, and walk out of the room victorious. 2. Do not solve all the puzzles in the room, and be let out by the game master once time is up. 3. Ask the game master to stop and game and let you out before time is up. If you have any reasons why you need the game to end, do not hesitate to ask your game master to end it.

Games vary in terms of their themes, the puzzles they use, the number of players they are meant for, and even if they are in the real world or virtual. Although escape room businesses with multiple locations will sometimes offer the same game at different locations, most escape rooms are totally unique.

Most escape rooms cost between $30-$40 per person, though many locations offer discounts for larger groups or during non-peak times.

Most games have a 60 minute clock, but some rooms can be shorter or longer. Of course, if you get out before time is up it can go a bit quicker.

Yes. The vast majority of escape rooms do not allow for walk-ins, and many rooms are fully booked several days in advance.

No. Escape rooms must run on a tight schedule, since another time slot likely follows right behind the one you booked. In fact, it is best to arrive at least 10 minutes early, to allow your group to complete the waiver and get organized before the game begins.
