    DO THIS

    This was the PERFECT date! Highly recommended as a unique gift/experience! We live close to Philadelphia already but never took the time to really explore and learn…which this game enabled us to do!

  • Sterling

    So much fun!

    This was such a fun experience! I didn’t know what to expect and purchased this for a fun outing with my family to do something different within our city. We had a BLAST! It was so fun to run around the city, working together solving clues. It was nice to be more active outside. We laughed so hard throughout the entire experience. It was a great mixture of escape room, Amazing Race and scavenger hunt! Some parts were a bit challenging to sort out, but I highly recommend this and look forward to doing it again in another city.

    Great team-bonding activity

    Had a blast using this as a team building activity! We had three new team members and this was a great way to learn each other’s strengths and bond.
    It was a bit chilly the day we did it, so i would recommend doing this one when it is a little warmer – or dress appropiately. We certainly didn’t 🙁

    Some of the clues we got fast and others left us scratching our heads. Overall, very well done!

  • Joseph S

    A Challenging Walk in the parks

    The theme was fun, the puzzles were challenging, and my team of hardened escapers (20+ rooms) eventually needed a couple clues! Definitely recommended whether you’re exploring the area for the first time, or have lived around it most of your life, like my crew has. Definitely consider stopping by Chinatown for dinner too!

    Fun, Family Adventure!

    We have lived in the area for over 30 years and this game helped us notice things we never have before. Very well made clues and cute storyline. 😃

The best Philadelphia escape room experience

About the escape room game

This escape room adventure around Logan Square 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 Philadelphia. 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 Philly to track down clues and expose double agents!

This real world escape room is the most unique escape room in Philadelphia. 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 Philly escape room adventure and what you'll see along the way.

In Escapely's Philadelphia 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 at Swann Memorial Fountain in Logan Circle to solve the first puzzle. You will then head to the Parkway Central Library to find your first clue. It's the largest of the public libraries in Philadelphia so pop in to check out a book if you have time! After spending some time in Logan Square itself, you will also get to check out Cret Park, a small triangular park with seating and interesting sculptures.

Your next clue is at Lenfest Plaza at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. It sits between the Frank Furness building and the Hamilton Building as a beautiful outdoor art space. Eventually, you'll make it to Sister Cities Park, a beautiful Philly park with a boat pond, a fountain, and panoramic views of Philadelphia. You can finish the escape room there, or head to Federal Donuts if you have worked up an appetite. If you're in the mood for a picture, head to the LOVE sculpture, which is in the area and is one of Philly's most Instagrammable sculptures. For something a little more high brow, the Barnes Foundation houses one of the world's great art collections.

Philadelphia escape room FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

An outdoor escape room is essentially an escape room played in the real world! Unlike classic indoor escape rooms, you are not confined to a single space. You will instead explore Logan Square in Philadelphia, and take in the beautiful sights it has to offer. During this adventure, you (and your team) can work together to crack codes, solve puzzles, and complete challenges in order to win and “escape.” Outdoor escape rooms are immersive puzzle adventures that get you exploring the great outdoors. It blends the aspects of traditional escape rooms with a scavenger hunt-style exploration through the lively streets of Philadelphia.

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 Logan Square, the clues are different from all other Spyhunter games. But the puzzles will feel familiar.
Logan Square (which over the years has become more of a circle), is a beautiful open park with a fountain in the middle in Central Philadelphia. It is an easily walkable area surrounded by museums, culture, and historical sights. Because of the large number of public sculptures and monuments in the area, it's the perfect area for escape room clues. If you're a tourist, you aren't far from Philly's most famous sights, like the Liberty Bell and Philadelphia City Hall. If you're a local, stick around afterward to enjoy a nice day on the lawn. The area is full of international restaurants for those who are hungry after walking around playing 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 Philadelphia!
There is paid parking around Logan Square. If you're taking public transportation, the SEPTA Regional Rail lines and buses stop at Suburban Station. You can also take the subway. Take the east-west Market-Frankford Line or the north-south Broad Street Line to City Hall.
There are no indoor clues in our Philly escape room game. Everything is publicly accessible.
It's a self-guided adventure around Logan Square for couples, families, individuals, friend groups, and anyone else looking for a fun thing to do in Philadelphia!
