We love hosting kid’s birthday parties or allowing the kids to join in the puzzle solving fun with the whole family!

Children 8 years and older are considered playing members of your team, and all players 17 or younger participating in the escape room will need to have a waiver signed for them by an adult.

Kids are often the best searchers and finders, so don’t underestimate their skills. Show them how the locks work and let them open some things – they absolutely LOVE it! For the younger kiddos, we ask that the adults keep a close eye on them or leave them with the babysitter so you can fully enjoy the one hour you have to solve the clues.

We think these rooms are the most family friendly:
1. Portlandia- meant for a bigger group and has an amazing surprise that will delight both kid and adults alike!
2. Prison Heist
3. The Hour Before Christmas
4. Film Noir: The Dark Rose- smaller team size and a fair challenge level
5. Tales From The Attic-a darker theme with ghosts and spirits but no blood, guts, or gore!
6. Amnesia-meant for a large team and quite a challenge to solve

If you have specific questions: CONTACT page.

All games are $40.00 per person Monday through Thursday and $45.00 per person Friday through Sunday for ages 8 yrs old and up. We also have discounts available! For larger groups of 15 or more, do offer a group discount – please contact us at info@escapegamespdx.com to set up a custom time! You can also check out our social media pages for all specials and promotions we run from time to time.

Each room has a room minimum and maximum for playability and safety. To reserve a room, you only need to pay for the player minimum. You can then bring the rest of your team and everyone can pay onsite for their game with cash or card. If you were interested in grabbing some food and drink before or after your experience, let us help with some recommendations for awesome restaurants nearby.  Being in NW Portland, there are a ton of great options for you and your team!

Gift cards can easily be purchased in store, and gift certificates can be found on our website on the home page. They are the perfect gift; great for the person who has everything, it’s great for kids and adults alike. Give them a fantastic memorable experience for a long time to come!

When redeeming online, simply head to our website, choose your date and time, and at checkout, you’ll find a button to redeem your code. The minimum deposit for your room depends on the room minimum, and if you use a gift code for that deposit, the system will only remove that amount. If you have a remaining balance after the deposit, we can redeem the rest for you on the day of your game once we confirm player count. 

Notes:
Our gift cards never expire from their purchased value
They can be used for any games or merchandise in store
They can be transferred to anyone you choose if you decide to gift it out

Expect to be challenged and have fun! Only about 47% of the teams escape in time!

The game itself is at most 60 minutes-you will not get any more time, even if you beg, bribe and butter us up! The entire experience will be closer to 90 minutes and will include an introduction to escape games and what to look for to be successful in the room as well as a walk through of the game at the end to show you any clues you might have missed if you fail to escape the room.

This game requires you to think and communicate with others – I know its a lot to ask in this tech- heavy world but it is also a ton of fun and you will find yourself so enthralled in the game and its challenges that you will wonder how quickly those 60 minutes went by!

The games do not require any crazy feats of strength and you need not have graduated Summa Cum Laude to be successful. The most successful groups are those that communicate well, think simply and straightforward, and are very thorough in their searches and their thought process.

You will not need to know any specific trivia or facts. There might be an occasional riddle or some simple math to do but you will be able to solve every clue that comes your way if you just think a bit.

Our Game Masters will also be able to help you with clues if you ask for them – this isn’t meant to be mission unsolvable but the rooms aren’t meant to be easy either. You will have your skills and smarts tested (but way better than any other test you’ve had to take in the past!).

Please note no outside food or drinks are allowed and no alcohol, tobacco, smoking or vaping are allowed on the premises.

YES!!! Every game is a private escape experience – so choose your team wisely and make sure you to have enough eyes, ears and brains working together to escape in time.

DON’T BE LATE!

Please arrive 15 minutes before your game starts. Although doors might still be closed more than 15 minutes prior to your game beginning. Punctuality is key! To be respectful of the other players, if you arrive more than 5 minutes late for your game, you may not be able to to play, or we may have to deduct time off your 60 minutes in the room. Give us a call at 503-208-7353 as soon as you can if it looks like you’re running behind or shoot us an email at info@escapegamespdx.com. 

Escape Games PDX’s refund and reschedule policy is as follows:

• No refunds will be given unless the game is cancelled by Escape Games PDX
• Each game is reserved with a non-refundable minimum player deposit. All remaining players can pay on site when they arrive for their game with cash or card
• Game player minimums and maximums will still be followed and each game has a different min or max for safety and fun
• Should you not be able to make your game time, while we can’t refund, please call or email us and if your game is more than 24 hours away, we can issue you a credit for future play that never expires

Yes! To book your experience we only require the minimum player count be paid for. Please keep in mind the room specific player capacity minimums & maximums, but we do not need a final headcount until you arrive for your game.

Absolutely! But there are a few things to note:

A minor waiver must be signed by an adult for anyone under the age of 18.

Children 13 and under must have a paying adult in the room with them.

Ages 14-15 require an adult to remain on the premises.

Ages 16+ do not require an adult on site.

Often, we see that kids above 8 or so, tend to understand what the game is all about and they get to enjoy helping to find clues and then giving them the chance to unlock a few items as well.  Teens do very well overall as they are so much better than we are (adults) at thinking outside the box! Younger kids are welcome too since the room is always a private game but please note, our rooms are not toddler safe and we do have some breakable or fragile items in the rooms so we ask that you keep an eye on them for everyone’s enjoyment and safety.

We cannot go over the maximum amount of players both for your own safety and for your amount of fun to be had!

Second, we have a great combination of straightforward clues, harder codes to crack, and multi layered puzzles as well as some added surprises. Most of our clues have been custom made and hand crafted to provide the most “wow” experience for you and your group. We have something for everyone to feel like they are helping to solve the mysteries. If it’s your first escape game ever or you have played every room you come across, you will thoroughly enjoy it! We will be adding more rooms and themes over the year so please come back and play them all with your friends, family or co-workers!

While we aren’t able to help set up any reservations, we highly recommend these spaces for big or small groups and are pretty close by
