3 Reasons Why You Need To Visit The Escape Effect Escape Rooms

The players nervously explore the castle dungeon with their lanterns.

01

Great Variety

Guests’ tastes in escape games are as varied as there are cuisines in the world. That’s why we’ve developed a variety of escape games to give you options on theme and gameplay preferences.

02

Feature-Length

We aren’t quite sure why the world gravitated to 60-minute escape adventures. But like a good movie, you’ll get lost in the experience and not even realize you just spent a couple hours here.

03

Truly Unique

Everything is designed and built in-house. When you visit, you’ll experience the friendliness of a small business with the quality of a major theme park, which means magic – and only in Orlando.
