    Great activity for all ages!

    Super fun! Great for all ages. An awesome way to explore Adams Morgan and get to know the neighborhood. Bring walking shoes, a water bottle, and a backpack. Great way to spend an afternoon.

  • Robin D

    Great day with family & friends!

    We really enjoyed the challenge of the game and exploring a neighborhood we were unfamiliar with. The mystery story was well thought out and it was fun to discover the “real world clues” along the way. Based on the recommendation from the app, we had lunch at the starting point, The Diner, which was very good. I would definitely do this game again in other cities!

    Perfect adventure for the family!

    This is the 2nd Escapely game that we have done and our family loves them! We were given one for Boston, where our extended family lives, and we purchased the one for Adams Morgan for Fathers Day. We have 3 teenagers, and it is such a great way to explore new, and old, places. The clues are just challenging enough to really make us sit and think, but definitely not easy enough to run through it quickly.

    Great way to spend an afternoon

    Was a really fun time. We thought the game was challenging enough to make us think a little and get around the neighborhood but easy enough as to not be frustrating. We stopped in the middle and at the end to treat ourselves at restaurants in the neighborhood, and we really enjoyed that aspect.

    Fun with friends and WAY cheaper than your typical Escape Room

    I did this in a group of 4 (including me) and we really enjoyed it! We have done escape rooms as a group in the past (all indoors) and opted for this experience because of the reasonable price and the ability to get some nice outside time. I found out about Escapely through my work as we did the Baltimore version as a team-building activity and I really enjoyed it, so I thought trying out the Adams Morgan one with my friends would be a blast and I was correct! 🙂
    I felt that the difficulty level was appropriate; some items stumped us, but we were always able to figure out the responses but occasionally needed a clue.

    My favorite part of the game was definitely using landmarks to figure out the puzzles, like walking up and down the street to find different murals to solve the code. Really hoping to see a new version of this in another area of DC to try!

The best DC escape room experience

About the escape room game

This escape room adventure around Adams Morgan 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 Adams Morgan to track down clues and crack the case!

This real world escape room is the most unique escape room in Washington, D.C. 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 DC escape room adventure and what you'll see along the way.

Escapely's DC escape room begins with a call to help solve a murder. You must put on your detective hat and find clues and suspects around Adams Morgan. (The clues are in the real world, but the suspects are on our app.) You'll start by finding your first clue at the Adams Morgan community board. Then, you get to walk down 18th Street, which is the heart of DC's trendy and funky Adams Morgan neighborhood.

Your next set of clues is at the sculpture garden outside the Marie H. Reed Recreation Center and then the game takes you to Kalorama Park and Champorama Park. We suggest ending up at Adams Morgan staple Madam's Organ to finish the game (and have a drink!) but you can choose any other place in the area. Adams Morgan is also known for its multicultural dining options, from Ethiopian to Vietnamese to falafel if you have time for dinner.

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 DC's Adams Morgan, the clues are different than all other Whodunnit games. But the puzzles will feel familiar.
Adams Morgan is one of the most funky and eclectic neighborhoods in all of Washington, D.C. It's very pedestrian-friendly and 18th Street, the center of Adams Morgan, is filled with interesting shops, dining options, and great nightlife. The DC Arts Center hosts local artists and Meridian Hill Park is a great place to go on a nice day. Tryst coffee shop is a neighborhood staple and their sister restaurant (The Diner) is a partner of the escape room!
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 things to do in DC!
Adams Morgan is very small (only about a mile from end to end) so you can park anywhere in the area and be close to the game. Public transportation and ride share are always recommended to cut down parking costs.
There are no indoor clues in our DC escape room game. Everything is publicly accessible.
It's a self-guided adventure around Washington DC's Adams Morgan for couples, families, individuals, friend groups, and anyone else looking for a fun thing to do in Adams Morgan.
