ESCAPE
THE CITY

PUZZLE YOUR WAY ACROSS A CITY

A cross between a scavenger hunt and an escape room, this epic clue-solving adventure is fun for all ages. The clues inside the box take you on an immersive journey to solve puzzles, follow an immersive storyline, and find out where to go next.

Start your adventure

Escapely Escape the City boxes take the escape room in a box concept to the next level. Combining scavenger hunts, escape room games, and urban crawls, these boxes are not just another board game to be played from home. Escapely Escape the City boxes get you out of the house and exploring the city! The world is literally your game board.

HOW IT WORKS

Order your Escape the City box in the mail. Whenever you’re ready to play, open your box and examine the clues inside. As you solve them, input solutions on our app to find out where to go next.

Each game has an immersive storyline that puts you as the main character. Along the way, visit hidden gems and iconic sites such as murals, food trucks, and architectural landmarks. Don’t worry – all destinations are within easy walking distance of the first stop

GAME DETAILS

Each adventure provides 90-180 minutes of game play. You can choose to race against the clock or take your time – linger over a food truck, grab a drink, and take some pictures. We recommend 1-6 players per game box, and it’s fun for all ages.

Everything you see could be part of the game! That mural you walked by? The painted symbols are the key to solving your cipher. The letters on the coffee shop ceiling? They fill in the blanks on your next puzzle. Sound irresistible? It is!

SCAVENGER
QUEST

RACE TO THE FINISH LINE

Find clues, solve puzzles, interact with live actors, and race the other teams to the finish line. Use your treasure map to unlock your next destination and complete challenges along the way. At the end, check the leaderboard to find out who won!

Scavenger Quest is an escape room adventure that you must work with your team to win. It's your chance to be on the Amazing Race for a day! You get to search for physical clues, solve puzzles, and even find live actors. At the end, see how your team stacked up against the other teams on the leaderboard.

HOW IT WORKS

Each city has a designated start location where you will pick up your treasure map and grab some food and drinks while you wait for the emcee to kick off the event. Then, you’re off to the races, trying to be the first to the finish line!

Unlike other events like this, you are looking for real, physical clues that you must find in order to solve the puzzles. You will even interact with live actors along the way. Each time you solve for a code, the app will tell you where to go next to find your next clue.

EVENT DETAILS

Scavenger Quest takes place in a certain neighborhood, all in walking distance. You should plan to walk about 1-3 miles over the course of the race, depending on the city. The event lasts three hours, though the winners will finish a little sooner.

Scavenger quest is fun for all ages. Teams can have up to six players, and hints are provided so that any team can finish. Of course, since it’s a race, the hints each come with a time penalty…so teams must choose wisely.

Customer reviews

What our customers are saying

"Can't wait for next year's season!"

We had the best time rushing around and solving clues and racing the teams around us! We discovered a lot of new stores and attractions we had never seen before. Can't wait for next year's season!

William Li, Seattle

"Clues and puzzles were integrated in the city!"

The clues and puzzles were integrated throughout the city so even if puzzles aren't your thing, if you like exploring new places, this is definitely something you have to check out. It exceeded our expectations!

Ben Gould, New York

"Our favorite part was finding the pirate!"

I played with my mom and we loved how everyone we encountered played along and was kind of in on it. Our favorite part was finding the pirate by the lake! We would definitely do it again!

Taylor, Chicago

"We had SO much fun exploring the city."

We had SO much fun exploring the city. We loved that even though it was a race, we still got to enjoy some food and drinks along the path! We are hoping to bring in the trophy next year!

Tricia Mosher, Seattle

"We got so lost in the puzzles."

We got so lost in the puzzles we forgot we were moving around, but it was mental and physical. And the app was super easy to use.

Raven and Dan, Chicago

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

We pride ourselves on executing seamless events for every single client, every single time. Our philosophy is to bend over backwards for our clients. Before you even realize there is a problem, we already have a solution! We’re often told we’re the most friendly and helpful team that clients have ever worked with. And our event staffing ratio in our virtual escape room is unmatched in the industry.

We have hosted over 200,000 people in our team building games since June 2020. Our list of clients all over the globe is extensive. Check our testimonials page for more!

Our feedback is overwhelmingly positive and most clients return again…and again! You can read some first-hand testimonials on our review page.

Absolutely! We have in-person events that can be customized to any location, such as our Amazing Escape Race, which is the perfect problem-solving adventure for an in-person gathering like a retreat or conference. Participants work in teams to solve puzzles, locate checkpoints, and complete challenges. We also have custom scavenger hunt adventures specifically designed for certain cities. Our virtual escape room is our most popular virtual team building activity, followed closely by our virtual murder mystery and virtual trivia. Our remote team building activities are perfect for teams who can’t be together in person or simply those who are choosing a convenient alternative with no travel logistics for participants!

With a few exceptions, yes. For the best experience, we typically limit each virtual session to about 600 attendees. This allows each small team to have its own personal moderator while also not overwhelming the technical components of the game. For larger groups, we can offer a series of events throughout the day to accommodate different time zones! We will still declare an overall winner at the end. There is no lower limit on the number of attendees. Our in-person events can have any number of participants!

Our in-person team building events take place anywhere you choose - usually a conference venue, retreat hotel, office building, or even on city streets! Our exciting and creative challenges have a very small footprint, which allows us to set up anywhere. Our virtual events take place over any platform of your choosing, though we always recommend Zoom for the best experience. Don’t worry, these aren’t ordinary Zoom games for large groups! Our games are all specifically designed for the virtual space, so they take advantage of features that wouldn’t be possible in person.

Our friendly and helpful event planners will start by asking you about your event goals to help plan the perfect team building experience for your team. Our escape room games online might be the perfect choice for a team looking for a convenient event and some friendly competition. On the other hand, our Amazing Escape Race might be the right choice for a large group that hasn’t been together in person all year. Whatever your needs, our event coordinators will make sure that our team building activities virtual or in person get your employees bonding and having a blast together!

Yes! Our team building activities are scheduled at any time convenient for your team, pending availability. Escapely the City is like a pre-planned event just for you. Your escape room in a box arrives in the mail and you can open it to play anytime you want. The real-world clues will be there for you to find no matter when you play (with some restrictions based on business hours, which will be clear on the app).

Our team building events can host as many participants as necessary. For virtual events, we recommend up to 600 players per session for the optimal experience. For in-person events, there is no limit other than sometimes staggering start times to manage back up. For Escape the City, we recommend 1-4 players. You could, of course, play with any group size you wish, but with too large of a group, it may be difficult for all players to work on the puzzles.

Our premium team building events have moderators working directly with each team, so the difficulty level is adjusted to each team's abilities. The moderators will help as much or as little as they need. Escapely The City and Scavenger Quest are both designed to be challenging but playable by anyone. Our app-based hint system allows players to choose the number of hints they would like. Advanced players can choose to use no hints, while first timers may choose to take a hint or two on each puzzle.

Whether participating in a team building activity, Escape the City, or Scavenger Quest, you will not need to download anything onto your phone. To access our web-based app, scan QR codes as you encounter them. On the app, you will find a place to enter solutions, get hints, and plenty of bonus material!
