The Escape Room Experience

Escape rooms can vary in price depending on location, and venues along International Drive in Orlando where we are located, are generally priced at around $45 a player for a 60-minute game. At The Escape Effect we offer off-peak rates, child pricing, and everyday offers to make sure you get the most for your money. We also offer the best value per dollar along I-Drive, with our game A Knight To Escape, it’s Florida’s only 2-hour escape room and it’s as low as $37.50 per hour! You’re guaranteed great prices and a great time, here at The Escape Effect.

Escape Room Merchandise

Before your Escape Effect game, you’ll get a glimpse at some of our unique puzzle-packed merchandise in our lobby. Once you’ve completed your epic quest, you’ll have more time to browse and ask our hosts about our products! Perhaps you’re looking for a memento to commemorate the occasion, or even an at-home game you can take back with you to continue the fun. Make sure you budget a little extra money for some of the exclusive finds you’ll discover in our store, whether you choose a pin, card game, plushie, TTRPG book, notebook, dice set, scratch-off poster, or stickersphew…there is something for every budget!

Post-Game Debrief

Ok, this is totally not essential to your escape room adventure, but one thing we enjoy after a game is grabbing a bite to eat with your team, and having quality time together to discuss what you just experienced! Maybe you didn’t all see how one puzzle was solved, or you have questions about something which happened within the game…or maybe you just want to throw a few playful jabs out at the funny thing your team-mate did! A post-game debrief is an excellent chance to regroup and keep the fun going into the night, and depending on where you’ll want to eat, you’ll need to budget accordingly!
