THIS BOX TURNS
YOUR CITY
INTO AN ESCAPE ROOM

Escape the City is an escape room, a scavenger hunt, and an urban crawl that takes you on an exciting journey around one of your city's hottest neighborhoods. This brand new escape room in a box concept gets you out of the room and out on the town! At each stop you get to find clues hidden in the real world that interact with puzzles in the box to reveal your next code. The symbols on the mural you're looking at? Those might be the key to solving your next cipher. The letters you found on the coffee shop ceiling? They might fill in the blanks to your next puzzle.

After your escape room in a box arrives in the mail, you can open it anytime to begin your adventure. Inside, you'll find clues, locked envelopes, a lockbox, and some other fun things that we don't want to give away. You can use everything you see inside the box to begin solving - but all envelopes are locked until you're told otherwise! The pace is up to you - you can solve as fast as you can or linger over a drink, enjoy a food truck, and take some pictures. Most groups take 90-180 minutes to finish.

This game isn't just another scavenger hunt that expects you to find items and check them off of a list. When you find clues, you'll use them to solve creative puzzles that tell you where to go next. We'll point you in the right direction, but it's your job to look around the area and find the clues! As you play, scan QR codes to pull up our easy-to-use web app (no download necessary). That's where you'll get hints, storyline, bonus info, and put in your solutions. When you type in the correct solution, the app will tell you what to do next.

As you go back and forth between the escape room in a box and the real world, you'll be immersed in the storyline. From falling through the looking glass in New York's Central Park to searching for buried gold in Downtown Las Vegas, there are so many unique storylines to discover. You'll be a character on the journey as you watch video, hear audio, and interact with the puzzles on our app. And the best part is that you can take the time to enjoy it - you won't be rushed through the experience with the fear of running out of time. You can relax and soak it all in as you go!

Escape the City is perfect for both locals and weekend travelers. It's the perfect way to explore a new city, and even if you've lived in the city for years, you'll be forced to take a closer look at things you had never noticed before. It’s like a self-guided tour that takes you from location to location, solving escape-room puzzles and finding real-world clues along the way. And tourists will get a unique tour to discover off-the-beaten path sites! If you like scavenger hunts and escape room games, Escape the City will satisfy your craving for mystery and adventure.

Inside your box you'll find clues, puzzles, locked envelopes, pictures, a lockbox with a real lock, and other physical items that vary by city. You might find test tubes, stickers, 3-D glasses, playing cards, and much more - we can't tell you too much about the clues or it would spoil the fun! And this escape room in a box isn't limited to the box. The puzzles can't be solved until you find the real-world clues hidden throughout your city. It is all designed to work together.

Escape the City is designed for anyone and everyone! It's fun for date nights, family outings, hangouts with friends...you name it. If you're looking for new city scavenger hunt ideas, this city adventure will get you out of the house and exploring your city in a whole new way. Unlike a traditional escape room in a box that is played from home, this one actually takes you on an adventure around town. Because there's no time pressure, the kids can join in and help solve without the fear of running out of time.

You won't need to pay any entry fees along the route. All stops and destinations are publicly accessible. We do encourage eating and drinking along the way (and you'll find suggestions on our app), but no additional purchases are necessary. Sometimes our partner businesses even provide a coupon or deal for Escape the City customers! If you're tired of the same old outings or looking for a new twist on date night, this is one of the best ways to explore a city.
