Not sure which escape room to play? We can help.
Over 100,000 Happy Guests
Most don’t believe it after they see it, but we truly are a small mom & pop shop with a handful of employees who love to build and host escape rooms that challenge our guests. With only a single location on I-Drive, we have quickly become one of the most beloved attractions in Orlando. In fact, Orlando Magazine has honored us as the #1 Entertainment Experience a record six times.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an escape room like?
An escape room is a real-life adventure game. You’ll explore the environment and solve challenges to reach some goal, like escaping a dungeon or solving a murder! And you’ll be doing all this with your friends and family as you race against the clock!
How much does an escape room cost?
The Escape Effect has the best value per dollar anywhere on I-Drive in Orlando. In fact, you can play Florida’s only 2-hour escape room for as low as $35 per hour! We also have everyday special offers and even offer child prices as low as 25% off.
Is the escape game scary like the movies?
Our goal is for you to have fun. Some of our escape rooms are brighter and more light-hearted, others are more thrilling.
That said, if darkness is not your thing, please speak with us before or even during the game. Your host will do everything possible to accommodate your requests, including adjusting the lighting and sound to your liking.
How do I prepare for an escape room?
Try to eat something energizing and make sure you are wearing comfortable clothes you can move around in. Be sure to get plenty of sleep the night before and do some stretches on the day of. Make a battle plan with your team so you can hit the ground running once the puzzles start.
Can I leave the escape room at anytime?
Absolutely! The door leading into your escape room is always unlocked. Step outside at any time to use the restroom or even answer a phone call.
What happens if I don’t escape an escape room?
There are no consequences of failing to escape in time. Of course, we would never poke fun at you and instead, we’ll encourage you to come back and try again next time! Or if you prefer, we are happy to answer any questions you might have on the game.
Where are the escape rooms located?
Conveniently located in the heart of Orlando on International Drive. There’s a map on our Contact page.
Is the escape room open after the parks close?
Absolutely! Our last escape room each night typically starts around 9:30pm. On weekends and holidays, look for some rooms to start as late as 11pm. Please see our reservations page for a list of the most current times available.
Is there an escape room that is great for kids and families?
As a family-run small business, we err on the side of rooms that are or can be made family-friendly. Our rooms are for you and what you value. If you are claustrophobic, we’ll leave the door open for you. If you don’t like the dark, we’ll run the room with the lights on. And if the music is too loud, we’ll turn it down. If you have any questions on the age-appropriateness of our rooms, please call us at (855) 426-3372.
We do escape room events like nobody else!

About Orlando, Florida
Orlando is a popular hotspot that attracts millions of tourists worldwide every year!
If you are looking for a bite to eat, be sure to try Bartaco – tacos and such that do not feel heavy, but satisfying. Also located close by, there’s Christini’s – an upscale, independent, Italian restaurant with old-school vibes. Of course, visit our neighbor, Nagoya, with the tastiest Japanese food found anywhere on and around I-Drive!
If you are looking for entertainment, you could certainly visit the large theme park marketplaces like Universal CityWalk or Disney Springs. There’s loads of arcades and go-karting available at places like Andretti’s and Fun Spot. But of course, there’s only one Escape Effect!
Enjoy the cuisine and entertainment that makes Orlando special.
About The Escape Effect
The Escape Effect is located on International Drive (I-Drive) in Orlando, Florida, just minutes away from Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, SeaWorld, ICON Park, Orange County Convention Center, and Vineland Premium Outlets.
If you are visiting Orlando, be sure to enjoy our escape rooms during one of your days-off from the theme parks. Save yourselves from long lines in the Florida heat and come to The Escape Effect – indoor, air-conditioned space and no reason to wait since you can reserve your experience ahead of time (and we recommend it since we fill up fast some days). If you want to live like the locals do, then be sure to follow up one of our escape rooms with a local dining option.
Oh, and parking is available for free in the lot in front of our entrance. If you do not have a car, consider taking the I-Ride Trolley to stop #29. Or if you are further out, the Orchid Bay Plaza parking lot can be easily accessed by Uber and Lyft rides.
You will NOT find these escape rooms anywhere else in the world! The Escape Effect is a one-of-a-kind attraction that offers the fun and friendliness of a locally-owned small business with the quality of a major theme park. You will remember this experience forever. Come and join us. We look forward to hosting your party soon!
