The Escape Game Austin

Here in the "Live Music Capital of the World," Keith Richards from the Rolling Stones once said, "I like it here in Austin. Anybody got a room?" The Escape Game in Austin does!

The Escape Game offers eight themed adventures. Each plays out in multiple escape rooms that look and feel real. Whether this is your first attempt at gaining freedom or you're a seasoned escapee, The Escape Game offers rooms suitable for your level of experience. Search for clues, find hidden messages, get help from a Game Guide if you're stuck, and with teamwork, you'll be free before the hour's up!

The Games You’ll Play

The adventures run the gamut. You may decide by theme, the number of players, or your skill level. In The Playground, the easiest of games, you'll race the clock to finish your assignments on the last day of school. If you and up to 11 classmates fail, you can forget about summer vacation.

In Gold Rush, a maximum of eight players searches for gold in prospector Clyde Hamilton's cabin. This game is a bit more challenging since Clyde hid his cache so well. Will you, his next-of-kin, receive your inheritance?

Meanwhile, in Classified, your covert military team, with up to seven members, is under pressure to unlock the secret plans behind an impending international attack. Will you gather the intelligence and expose the evil plans before the hour's up?

You're on a difficult mission to recover a stolen painting in The Heist. Your team of up to eight players will need to break into the curator's office (yes, it was an inside job) and beat feet before he returns!

In the most challenging scenario, Prison Break, you begin behind the bars of two cells. Your team, with a maximum of eight players, will need to work together — and around the bars that separate you — to escape. The warden is sure you'll fail, he promises a full pardon if you escape in time. Is freedom an hour away?

Beyond these five classics, The Escape Game Austin has expanded its lineup with three additional adventures: The Depths, where your team uncovers the secrets of a mysterious underwater lab; Timeliner: Train Through Time, a race to save the future by traveling through history aboard a time-traveling locomotive; and Cosmic Crisis, the venue's newest game, which challenges your team to destroy a black hole threatening the galaxy. Each of these newer games also accommodates up to eight players.

Planning Your Escape

You can improve your odds by sharing your finds with the entire team, keeping the clues organized, listening to your guide, and asking your guide for a hint sooner rather than later if you need help.

Whether you escape or not, the hour-long adventure is fun for families, friends, and co-workers. Games are recommended for ages 13 and up, though younger players are welcome. The Escape Game Austin is located at 405 Red River St, Austin, TX 78701, and is open daily from 8 AM to midnight.
