What the heck is an escape room and why would I want to play?

​Every day we run into someone who asks the question "What the heck is an escape room?"

A basic answer to that question goes something like this:

"It's an interactive group gaming experience where we lock you and your friends in a room and you have to solve puzzles and riddles to try and get out in 60 minutes."

That's a very quick way of attempting to explain an escape room but it leaves out, what we feel are, the two most important parts.

Fun and excitement!

Think Clue (you do remember Clue right?) meets Da Vinci Code with a little treasure hunt and a sprinkle of magic on top. For an hour or so you get to be part detective, part explorer and, if you make it out, part action hero! Who didn't want to be one of those things at some point in their lives? 

We work very hard here everyday at Escape FLA to make sure our guests get to have a total blast while they're here. Fun is the whole reason we're here. 

I think we covered the whole "why would I want to do that" question. If not, stop by and see us, give us a call or shoot us an email [email protected] 

A few other questions we get asked:

Do you have to be super smart?
Nope, you just have to know how to have fun.

What type of people can play?
Everyone can. We see young people, people of, shall we say, "Mature" age, Mostly groups of families and groups of  friends looking for something fun to do.

Am I really locked in? That seems scary.
You can get out whenever you want. It's totally safe.

I'm afraid of small spaces. Will I be scared?
Only if you have claustrophobia in your bedroom. There's always plenty of space to move around. 

We hope to see you soon,
Ryan and Jen
