“Large spacious room that did a great job of tying into a local theme and the aesthetics a repurposed bank vault. Game master was attentive and gave a couple welcomed nudges. Really appreciated some of the mechanisms used including almost no key/combination locks so puzzles were a bit more intellectual puzzle solving.”

Welcome to the Monongahela Trust Company bank building. Built in 1927, this building has serviced customers for almost a century... Rumor has it that upper management (including the president and vice president of the bank) would occasionally work late into the wee hours of the morning and passersby claimed seeing a green light in the 4th floor window anytime these surreptitious dealings took place. Access to the 4th floor has been closed off for years, but recently the floor has been reopened for renovations. Explore what the president and vice president of the bank were up to during these late night shifts and let us know if you find anything interesting...

Our story revolves around you, a group of children, really keen on circus performances. Unfortunately, last night one of your peers went missing. Your only clue is a ticket you find from a circus you've never heard of before, “Wanderlust Circus, 1940.” Without second thoughts, you decide to seek your friend at the circus site. You manage to get inside, but now you find yourself trapped in a cursed circus. Shadows and dark figures appear on the walls, creeping between the red and white stripes. You must act quickly and find a way to get out before the clown returns.
“Loved this creepy theme and really immersive set. The props and atmosphere lent themselves very well to this theme. Everything felt cohesive and the puzzles really matched the theme well. A few jump scares, but nothing too gory. I was really impressed with some of the creativity and variety of puzzles!”

There is a murderer on this train…or more than one! Yesterday, two of the passengers went missing, and just last night one was found dead. Mr. Hercule Poirot advised the conductor in charge and the police officer of the train to bring all passengers to him in the main restaurant of the train. However, before the door of the restaurant is locked, you receive a message from Mr. Poirot that reads: “Don’t come to the restaurant with the others. If I am not mistaken, the murderer may be here with us, but the proof of their guilt is not. I am leaving you all the information I have so far and will delay everybody for one hour, pretending that I am interrogating them, so you can identify the culprit. Good Luck.”

You are the most experienced investigators of the supernatural. Your team was approached by a mysterious man who offered you a huge amount of money to get inside a specific mansion and search for a powerful ancient artifact. He artfully avoided informing you that all previous investigators he hired never came back...
“Awesome experience from start to finish. We did the Haunted Mansion game. Made it out with just a little under 10 minutes left with just 2 people. Our gamemaster Collin was fantastic. Super personable and helpful. The effects/jump scares in this game were unexpected but definitely added to the immersiveness. Great puzzles, great theme, great experience. We'll definitely be back.”

Turn back the hands of time and enter the lost memories of the Imaginarium’s creator. Explore the archives of his inventions, open the window to forever and release the secret that keeps him a prisoner of the past.
“Tbh I really could not tell you what the storyline was and no one from my group could but the set was amazing so that really made up for it. The GM did a great job and it really was very theatrical. Good mix of puzzles with something for our group of three to work on individually almost the whole time.”

Your team has been contacted by a mysterious figure known only as the Broker, a master jewel thief who's orchestrated the most illustrious heists of the past decade. Your job is to break into Schmidt's Jewelry to steal the crown jewel of their new Cardinal Collection, The Blue Lion Diamond. Using his tricks of the trade and the tools left behind by an inside man, your team must navigate through the store undetected, break into the Master Vault, and get away with the diamond in 60 minutes or less.
“Felt like a well designed room. Second room/site I’ve done of the Escape Room Pittsburgh and both of the rooms I’ve done with them so far seem to do a great job of some local callouts that you don’t get to see as much in chain escape room companies. In terms of the puzzle, nice semi linear puzzle with a nice variety of puzzle types including a couple red herrings (with bonus points to details that acknowledge as much in a way) found it easy for my team of four to rotate around a bit working as partners helping keep track of the details that while not always needed to solve a puzzle, can make it a bit easier to solve and helped us finish the room without any hints.”

Never to be outdone by its rival city of Philadelphia, Pittsburgh has established itself as an escape room destination. Since the first escape rooms arrived in the city, Pittsburgh has crafted some of the very best immersive puzzle experiences east of the Mississippi. In fact, greater Pittsburgh is home to over a dozen different escape room venues, and that number is sure to rise in the future. Subway Escape at Escape Room Pittsburgh is a favorite among even the most experienced of players. Create A Clone at Bold Escape Rooms wonderfully weaves its delightful puzzles into the story and set. Escape the Room Pittsburgh’s The Dig is an exciting game that is perfect for players who are a bit newer to the world of escape rooms. With over 30 escape games in the entire area, you’re sure to find the perfect game for you and your group.
Remember those point-and-click adventure games where you’re locked in a room and have to solve puzzles to find the key and escape? Those online games were the original inspiration for the live escape rooms you’ll find all across the world today. An escape room is an immersive experience where you (and your team of 2 or more people) are locked in a room with a series of puzzles for 60 minutes. To escape and win the game, you have to look for clues, solve the puzzles, and find the key. While most escape rooms only give you 60 minutes to complete the challenge, others may have shorter or longer time limits. Many venues are private rooms where you and your team are the only players. However, some places may pair you with other groups who booked a slot at the same time. And don’t worry about getting stuck, asking for hints on a difficult puzzle is totally normal. While the original escape room (created by SCRAP in 2007) had a fairly simple aesthetic, today’s escape games often take you into a different world. Artistic set designs, secret doors, and unique interactive elements are all part of the fun. It’s like an adventure game that you can interact with in real life. But if you’re hoping to preview any rooms before you book a game somewhere, detailed images and videos can be hard to find. To keep the puzzles a secret and preserve the experience of seeing the room for the first time, most venues only offer a few photos or a short trailer about the room’s theme or narrative. The only way to know what it’s like is to go and try it for yourself!
