The best Denver escape room experience
About the escape room game
This escape room adventure around Upper Downtown 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 downtown Denver. 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 Upper Downtown to track down clues and expose double agents!
This real world escape room is the most unique escape room in Denver. 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 Denver escape room adventure and what you'll see along the way. In Escapely's Denver escape room, you are a top secret spy tasked with exposing a ring of double agents threatening to take down the agency. We suggest starting near Vibe Coffee and Wine, but you can start and park anywhere in the Upper Downtown area. You'll walk by the Upper Downtown Lightrail Station, the Denver Convention Center, the Old City Hall Bell, and the Denver Performing Arts Complex, one of the largest performing arts complexes in the country. As you continue the game, you will find clues at the Kettle Arcade and one of the campuses of the University of Colorado Denver. We suggest a few places to stop to eat and drink around downtown Denver, like the German restaurant Rhein Haus, which has an outdoor beer garden if the weather is nice! If you prefer a different spot, you can choose any other location in the Upper Downtown area.

Your Escape The City game will arrive in the mail to the address provided at checkout. We have a small number of Denver games available for same-day pick up for tourists and last-minute players. Call 702-747-3009 for availability.
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 downtown Denver, the clues are different than all other spyhunter games. But the puzzles will feel familiar.
Upper Downtown is a vibrant and thriving area of Denver with museums, hotels, and the large Denver Performing Arts Complex, with venues for theater, dance, and music. There are many clues integrated throughout the neighborhood perfect for escape room puzzles! The 16th Street Mall is one of the most walkable areas in Denver, perfect for an outdoor escape room. If you're with kids, after the game you can check out the Denver Firefighters Museum, housed in a historic fire station.
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 downtown Denver!
There are parking garages in the area - we recommend starting near 16th St and California. The 16th St/California light rail station is very close to the start of the game if public transportation is convenient for you!
There are no indoor clues in our Denver escape room game. Everything is publicly accessible.
It's a self-guided adventure around Denver's Upper Downtown district for couples, families, individuals, friend groups, and anyone else looking for a fun thing to do in Denver.

Great way to get to know the city
This is a really fun way to get to know a city better, whether you live there or are just visiting. It’s like a combination outdoor escape room and self-guided walking tour. Clues and puzzles are specific to city landmarks that bake in local history. We had out of town guests, 4 adults and two pre-teens. The puzzle difficulty is just right with the kids solving some that stumped the adults and vice versa. The hints are useful – we were appropriately challenged without needing too many hints but they are well-written to nudge you towards the solution without giving it away. Two to three hours is about right unless you’re stopping a lot to eat and drink. I would definitely do this again with a new puzzle or a new city.

Can't wait for more!
We had an absolute blast! We will definitely be ordering this experience for other cities during our travels and as gifts for friends.
Our favorite part was the relaxed pace. We loved the ability to take our time, stop for a meal or a drink, and enjoy a spontaneous and adventurous night. Traditional escape rooms often put us on a strict time limit, leading to a more structured evening. This experience, however, allowed us to explore at our own pace. For instance, we stumbled upon a martini bar that our friend had forgotten about and decided to detour for a drink before continuing on.
The difficulty level was high, and we did need the hints. It might be obvious somewhere and we missed it, but we realized that the “”adjustable”” difficulty really pertains to the hints. Choose your level and start with opening hints early. If you don’t need them, you are awesome.
We will be ordering more experiences whenever we travel to a new city. This has turned a normal night out into an incredibly fun way to enjoy our time together and explore new areas.

So much fun for puzzlers and explorers!
The game was so much fun, I bought another one for my son and his friends to play. The difficulty level was a little higher than I expected, but having unlimited hints made it perfect. we would use a hint then try to figure it out again, then use the next hint, etc. I’m excited to see how we compare with my son who loves escape rooms and puzzles. Also, I have lived here forever and the game introduced me to things I didn’t know were there.
Totally great. I would play again if there were games for other neighborhoods in my city too.

Great date day, with a few missing pieces
Pros: We had a great time. Took around 3 hours. We’ve lived in Denver our entire lives and explored features in the city we had walked by our entire lives and never seen. The story was fun and engaging, and the QR code driven elements worked well. The hint system is great and allows you to get scaleable help without completely giving the answer unless you want that.
Neutral: destructable component. The game was sold to me as being able to reseal the envelopes and give it to a friend. There was a single puzzle which contained a destructable element that we won’t be able to reset. However, the remainder was able to be reset (we didn’t write on the clues themselves).
There was a single clue location which was blocked off by construction and we couldn’t access. However, a workaround was provided by the app, so this didn’t hinder or block our progress from the full game.
Negatives: The game was sold to us as being partnered with local businesses. The start and end specific businesses were recommended, but there was no discount or partnership with said businesses. We also thought there might be recommendations of places to stop along the way, but again nothing. I think this is a missed opportunity.
Overall, this is a solid product, and I will buy another one to do in another city the next time we visit.

Super fun way to spend the morning!
My husband and I have done quite a lot of puzzle games and escape rooms over the years so we have a pretty well tuned sense of what works and what doesn’t in these type of games. I am thrilled to report that almost everything about this game works perfectly! It is incredibly well designed with just the right level of difficulty, just the right amount of time and just the right amount of walking. It helped me to look at downtown Denver in a whole new way. Now the next time I go to a new city, I will be eager to try other escapely games.
