Because all that your heart desires is right here in this article! To make things even better, everything you’ll need for a perfect date night can be found along International Drive, so you can conveniently jump around to different locations for each section of your date, without needing to drive far.

Grab A Bite to eat

Start date night off strong by grabbing a delicious dinner with your partner. Maybe you’ll try a new place together, or pick one of your tried and true favorites. Whatever you go for, we recommend you eat something light, considering your escape room experience is going to be an energetic activity! You don’t want to be stuffed full of food and almost immediately be ducking, diving, and racing around the room! For the same reason, you’ll also probably want to choose somewhere casual to eat, rather than a fine dining experience, since you’ll want to be dressed in comfortable clothes. But hey, if you want to play an escape room dressed to the nines in formal attire, we’re not going to stop you!

Play An Epic Escape Room

Once you’ve gazed lovingly into each other’s eyes over dinner it’s time to jump into action! The true test of a relationship is working together in an escape room, where communication and teamwork is the key to success! Take your pick from our fresh and fun themes and get ready to embark on an epic challenge. If it’s your first date together, an escape room is an excellent way to get an insight into the way their brain works, and how they act in a high pressure environment. It’s also a great chance to find those connections, share those magical ‘aha’ moments together, and maybe your hands will both reach for that one puzzle piece at the same time. How romantic! After all, the couple that plays escape rooms together, stays together…at least that’s what we say here at The Escape Effect!

End the Night With Something Sweet

You’ve left the escape room on a high, feeling like an unstoppable duo that can take on just about anything together! Take a breath and savour that moment, by grabbing a sweet treat together. Sitting down after your escape room experience will give you a chance to check in with each other. You can talk about what you enjoyed, where you worked well as a team, and if you’re anything like my other half and I, slip in a few playful jabs about some of the silly stuff they might have said or done under pressure in the heat of the moment! We bet you’ll have so much fun on your evening escapades, that you’ll end up making this itinerary a regular date night option!
