Room Escape Artist

Latest update: January 3, 2024

In Orlando, escape rooms are competing with the biggest names in entertainment for a share of your time and your money. While it might be hard to pry yourself away from the parks, it will be worth it. There are some outstanding escape rooms in Orlando.

Each company in the region offers a different style. There’s humor, inventive interaction design, and character-driven storytelling.

That said, there are plenty of newbie-friendly experiences to check out. There are also a few spooky games, for the Halloween Horror Nights fans.

And, FYI, Universal also offers escape rooms, but we strongly recommend avoiding Universal’s Great Movie Escape. Check out these recommendations instead.
