We have Orlando’s best entertainment
Looking For: The Best Customer service?
Our dedicated and friendly staff at The Escape Effect is here to help before, during, and after your game. We know our players have different skill levels and requirements, and we will do everything we can to make sure your time at The Escape Effect is a 5-star experience.
During your game, our host will be diligently watching your progress, ready to assist when you need it. You can request for us to nudge you along if you want to stay on track throughout your game, or alternatively you can have as many hints as you like without worry of being penalized. Escape rooms are supposed to be challenging, but being stuck and wasting precious game time isn’t fun. We want you to make the most of your time with us, so feel free to press the gorgeously-themed hint button whenever you like!
Looking For: The Best Theme?
When it comes to escape rooms, you’ll see the same few themes repeated again and again. At The Escape Effect we decided that we wanted to do something different, and created games based on themes that are more unusual. You won’t find a zombie apocalypse or heist here.
Our adventures are also unique in more ways than one, due to the fact that all of our games are longer than your average escape room, so you’ll get to enjoy those detailed sets and perplexing puzzles for even longer! We have 75-minute, 90-minute, and 120-minute games, the fun doesn’t stop after 60 minutes at The Escape Effect!
Looking For: The Best Puzzles?
If you value the puzzles above anything else when you’re looking for an escape room venue, you won’t be disappointed at The Escape Effect. Our team is obsessed with puzzles, so if you are too, you’re in good company! When we designed everything in-house, we understood the importance of creating game play that flowed and made sense, and puzzles that were fun rather than frustrating, but still scratched that itch of a satisfying puzzle-solving experience.
When you enter our lobby, you’ll also find a wide array of retail products, including at-home games, adorable padlock-shaped plushies, and punny merchandise that’ll tickle an escape room enthusiast’s funny bone. Our team loves creating unique puzzle-related retail as well as escape room experiences, so you’re bound to find something in our store to take home.
Looking For: The Best Story And Set?
Maybe the puzzles aren’t the most important thing to you, maybe you just want to be in a visually-interesting and inspiring atmosphere. One where you feel like you’ve truly been plunged into long-past medieval times, or Sherlock’s dark-and-moody study. We’ve also finely tuned the music, sound effects, and lighting, at every step of the game so that you’re truly immersed in the adventure. We check every box here at The Escape Effect, including an engaging story that you’ll feel personally invested in.
We’ve even continued the adventure in many of our at-home products, such as Camelot, our TTRPG which expands on the lore and legend of A Knight To Escape. The mythological greats from At Odds With The Gods can also be found within our family card game with a twist, Cards At War. Bonus: It even includes a not-so-secret puzzle hunt, because we can’t resist putting puzzles into everything we do…
Looking For: The Best Value For Money?
These days, more people than ever are on a budget. Sure, escape rooms might feel like a luxury expense and we don’t need to solve puzzles. However, we believe that it’s important for families and friendship groups to be able to take a well-earned rest, from their otherwise stressful, busy lives to enjoy a fun activity, and spend quality time with their nearest and dearest.
That’s why at The Escape Effect we’re doing all we can to bring amazing everyday offers, special off-peak rates, and child pricing, to make treating yourself all the more affordable. We even offer the best value experience along International Drive with games from just $37.50 an hour, when you book Florida’s only 2-hour escape room, A Knight To Escape.
Looking For: The Best For Groups
Are you celebrating something special? Escape rooms are a great way to gather everyone for an occasion, whether that be a birthday party, baby shower, anniversary, or bachelorette! Even if you have a group containing people of a varied age range, an escape room is a perfect choice, making The Escape Effect the ideal venue for your next family reunion.
No matter the event, at The Escape Effect we want you to celebrate in style, and what better way than with a puzzle party! We have spacious games that can fit teams of up to 10 players comfortably in each, and even offer the option of a venue buyout for larger corporate groups or even school field trips.
Looking For: The Best Indoor Activity?
We are also open 365 days a year, so whenever you have a craving for clues and an urge to unlock something, we will be ready and waiting for you! Escape rooms are a great activity when you need something to do indoors, whether you are shielding from the downpours or the heat, our air-conditioned and comfortable environment is the ideal escape for a few hours!
The Escape Effect has been voted Orlando’s best entertainment experience for an impressive 7 years now, and has amassed over 1000+ 5-star reviews, so we are a pretty safe bet for a morning, afternoon, or evening of fun…in fact, we also run an overnight experience for the night owls who take their puzzling very seriously!
Looking For: The Most Inclusive Venue?
We welcome everyone through our doors here at The Escape Effect, we don’t want to exclude anyone from being able to experience the fun of an escape room. It was important for us that during the initial design phase, we ensured that all our games were 100% ADA accessible. We are also happy to provide any other special requirements you may need in order to enjoy your experience at The Escape Effect to the fullest. Even small adjustments, like turning the lights up in the game, or changing the volume of the music, can make a big difference to someone. Whatever you need, we are happy to tailor the experience for you.
We created our games with families in mind, meaning there are no jump scares, and all ages and sensitivities can participate without being worried that something or someone will jump out. Our games are also 100% private, so you don’t need to worry about being placed with strangers. You are completely in control at The Escape Effect, because we want you to have the best game possible.
