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 escape rooms in Washington, D.C.

There are metered street spots and a garages available in the National Mall area. However, more parking is available at Union Station if you want to park there and take the metro. Ride share is another great option for getting to the area!
