Absolutely loved it

We picked the Seattle version. We were a group of 6, didn’t have to walk much if you were at the place where they asked us to start from. We do not need a car for this game. It was a well planned out game! Loved every single puzzle!

Scavenger hunt, puzzle game played in real life!

If you’re like me and LOVE scavenger hunts, Escape the City is for you! Escape the City is a multi-player adventure game that combines a scavenger hunt, clues, puzzles, and exploring. It’s a great game for families or friends. Escape the City is a fun interactive puzzle game where you go on a scavenger hunt, solve puzzles, and find your way out of the “escape room”/city.

This is a game played in real life searching for real life clues, exploring, and going on scavenger hunt of sorts in order to solve puzzles and “escape”. I thought the theme of the Seattle box sounded like great fun. Apparently you’re supposed to have just gotten a job at the Elixir Emporium as a Potion Master.

When you receive your box, you simply scan the QR code on the box to get game information including starting location when to play, and what you’ll need to bring on your adventure. As you play you’ll scan more QR codes that will give you hints, guide you, help you solve puzzles, and give you more information.

This would be an amazing gift to give to someone new to one if these cities to help them explore their new city. It would also be a fun gift for anyone who plans to go to any of these cities in vacation! For yourself, or as a fun and thoughtful gift, Escapely is sure to be appreciated by whoever receives it!

Wish it had more cities!

This amazing box is the perfect gift for escape room enthusiasts. It combines puzzles and games with exploring new places. Simply scan the QR code and get helpful hints for beginners or experts. The price is great, but the boxes are limited to certain cities.

The best Seattle escape room experience

About the escape room game

This escape room adventure around Seattle Center 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 Seattle. 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, an Escapely adventure takes you to find clues around Seattle.

This real world escape room is the most unique escape room in Seattle. It takes you on a clue-solving adventure around Seattle Center 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 Seattle escape room adventure and what you'll see along the way.

In Escapely's Seattle escape room, you are the potionmaster for a day at Florian's Elixir Emporium. After a spell gone wrong, you must create potions, handle customers, and find the right ingredients to fix the mess you caused! Your first clue is at Rabbit Rabbit Tea, a boba tea shop that even includes a discount for Escapely players! Then you will get to visit Climate Pledge Arena, developed for the 1962 World's Fair. While there, take a closer look at the sculpture La Diab Pish, which depicts the Pacific Giant Octopus. You will also visit an art installation featuring the Lushootseed language spoken by the Duwamish tribe. The Duwamish are the original inhabitants of the Seattle area, and they are still a thriving and active part of Seattle culture to this day.

Your next clues will take you to the park near the Armory building and to the Fisher Pavilion. The Fisher Pavilion is beautiful and often used for wedding receptions and other fancy affairs. It's a beautiful place to spend some time, especially when searching for escape room clues. The final stop on this adventure is the Neototems Children's Garden. Seattle Center is an incredible place to explore. If you have time, we highly suggest stopping in to see the Chihuly Garden and Glass to see the beautiful glass art. And if you have never been, a trip up the Space Needle (right in the vicinity of the game) is truly breathtaking.
