ABOUT US

Escape Rooms are the newest form of entertainment sweeping the country.

 

Here's how it works: A group of players is locked in a room for a set amount of time. They must work together finding clues and solving puzzles to complete their tasks, one of which is to find a key and escape. Escape rooms offer a unique experience, demanding teamwork of players who must use visual, spatial, and analytical skills to solve the puzzles. It’s challenging, exciting, and rewarding, even if you don’t manage to get out in time.

 

Escape Artist DC was one of the earliest escape rooms in the area, opening its doors on April 7, 2015. Our priority has always been puzzle quality and narrative.

Each of our rooms has a compelling story you get to participate in, and our multi-level puzzles add complexity, enabling people to work on several puzzles at the same time. We pride ourselves on having little to no locks in our room. Instead, we’ve constructed and programmed several specialty props. We've also ensured our games are accessible for deaf and/or hard of hearing players.

For more about what makes us unique, check out our Why Visit Us? page, or a list of those qualities here.

 

Think of Escape Artist DC like a fancy cocktail: one part mystery, one part problem-solving, and two parts teamwork — with a dash of adrenaline added in for good measure.
