It's not just an escape game. It's an adventure.
Alien cover-ups, cold-case murders, cursed pirate ships and zombie streets — five fully private rooms, one 60-minute clock. Choose your escape below.
Can you escape from this place?
You've never believed in aliens until you saw them with your own eyes. Unfortunately, the military has captured you and locked you in a small room. Do you have what it takes to escape before you're silenced for what you have witnessed?
Can you crack the case?
Another grisly murder in Empire City! A prominent businessman has been found dismembered behind the docks, and you've been called in for your razor-sharp investigative skills. The killer has left a trail of clues — a deadly game of cat and mouse. Can you beat the clock and uncover the killer's identity before they strike again?
Traditional • Maze / Mystery
Can you find your way out?
More than 150 miles of tunnels form an eerie maze beneath the streets of Paris — and you're hopelessly lost among the bones of six million souls. Can you find your way out, or are you destined to join them?
Traditional • Horror / Rescue
A rescue mission to die for.
The apocalypse has happened and zombies have overtaken the world. You're patrolling the streets when you hear a child's cry for help. Your mission: clear the zombies, enter the house, and rescue the child before it's too late.
Traditional • Pirate / Curse
Curse of the Devil's Shroud
Troubled waters, mateys. You've run afoul of the infamous Devil's Shroud, and its undead owner is hot on your tail. Follow the clues to the cursed tapestry — or your faithful old vessel will sink to the depths, and you along with it.
Plus our fan favorites Area 51 & Murder Mystery — 5 traditional rooms in all.
Printable • Fantasy / Magic
A battle of sorcery and magic!
Defend the world of sorcery against the dark mage. His only weakness is the head teacher's crystal staff — and he's going after it. Help guard it and protect it at all costs before he lays his hand on it and brings us to an end.

“This was my 3rd time at Optimal Escape, and the room quality is just as good as the first time! We did The Catacombs, and it was the perfect difficulty level for newbies, but challenging and fun enough even for those more experienced. And our game master was also fantastic!”
“We did the Jolly Roger room and really enjoyed it! There were just two adults and one kid and it was the perfect blend of clues that made you think as well as being fun enough to keep the kid entertained! We will return!”
“Great experience! I didn't realize they only did private bookings so that was a nice surprise that it was just me and my husband. It was difficult without being impossible and it was a lot of fun. We will be back again with a larger group next time.”
“Friendly staff. Great pricing. The escape room was well decorated and so fun!”
“Had a great time. We did the zombie escape. Looking forward to doing more in the near future.”
