The best outdoor escape room experience in Washington, DC

Outdoor escape room National Mall DC

This escape room adventure around the National Mall takes the best parts of an escape room and the best parts of a scavenger hunt and merges them into the most fun thing to do in Washington, D.C. You get to search for clues hidden in the real world and then use them to solve escape room puzzles. When you solve for a code, the app will tell you where to go look for your next clue! Instead of trying to escape the room, this Escapely adventure takes you around DC's National Mall to track down clues and expose double agents!

This real world escape room is the most unique escape room near the National Mall. It takes you on a clue-solving adventure to find clues, solve puzzles, and follow an immersive storyline. If you want to keep the experience a surprise, don't read this next bit - it contains some spoilers about where you'll go on our National Mall DC escape room adventure and what you'll see along the way.

In Escapely's National Mall escape room, you're a top secret spy tasked with exposing a ring of double agents threatening to take down the agency. You'll start your search for clues at the National Gallery of Art’s Sculpture Garden. It's the perfect outdoor opportunity for some photo ops as you begin the game. Next, you'll head to the Dwight D. Eisenhower Memorial, an open air memorial with beautiful bronze statues and inspirational quotes. Another great spot to snap a pic!

Your next stop is the The Trylon of Freedom pillar outside of the DC courthouse. The three sides of the monument represent the separation of the three powers in US government. Then the escape game takes you to Temperance Fountain right next to the National Archives. It was donated to the city when the temperance movement was discouraging alcohol consumption. The fountain offered a refreshing alternative beverage! Your final stop is the US Navy Memorial Plaza, commemorating those who have served. To close out your DC escape room experience, head to Freedom Plaza. The app even recommends the perfect place to grab a bite to eat while you complete your escape!

Yes, but it is not generally recommended unless you are a serious escape room enthusiast. It would be like playing an escape room that has the same storyline and similar puzzles, but with different clues available. Because the clues are integrated within Washington, D.C., the clues are different from all other Spyhunter games. But the puzzles will feel familiar.
The National Mall is literally made for an outdoor escape room. It's walkable, beautiful, and scenic (we all know the beautiful reflecting pool - you'll definitely want a picture!). The area is full of monuments, plaques, statues, and other things perfect for escape room clues. It's also a place you'll want to stay longer to explore, with museums like the Smithsonians and too many historical sights to mention. The game will take you to a few as you play!
It's both! In a traditional escape room you must solve puzzles that lead from one to the next to escape the room (or a series of rooms). In Escape the City you must solve puzzles that lead from one to the next, with clues in the real world. It's one of the best escape rooms in Washington, D.C.
There are metered street spots and a garages available in the National Mall area. However, more parking is available at Union Station if you want to park there and take the metro. Ride share is another great option for getting to the area!
There are no indoor clues in our National Mall in DC escape room game. Everything is publicly accessible.
It's a self-guided adventure around the National Mall for couples, families, individuals, friend groups, and anyone else looking for a fun thing to do in DC!
