Yes we are! You can see all of our current availability for our in-person bookings through our Book Now button! We are following WA State’s Safe Start progam, currently in phase 3, as well as CDC guidelines to keep our customers and staff safe and healthy!

Safety is our #1 priority here at The Escape Artist. We are following all CDC guidelines, and have established the following practices:

In addition to our in-person games, we have two exciting Virtual escape experiences that your team can play from the comfort of your home!

1. Virtual – with Avatar! = Your team can play Spell Struck virtually over Zoom and Telescape (our in-browser inventory system) to navigate through the experience with the help of a live-actor avatar! A Game Master is actually in the physical escape experience – and it’s your job to help them escape! They have a camera attached to them, so that you can see exactly what they see while exploring the room. Whenever an item is discovered, it is placed in your inventory. It is up to your team to decide how the avatar (Game Master) should operate in the experience – before time runs out and they are trapped forever!

• 2-7 players
• $25/player (plus tax) – Pricing is per player (not per computer connection)
• 70min of game play!

2. Remote – no Avatar! = Your team can play Spell Struck virtually over Zoom and Telescape (our in-browser inventory system) to navigate through the experience on your own! You will have a host (Game Master) to assist you on Zoom if needed, but your team will each be playing on your own computer to play over Telescape. Your team plays via interactive 360 photos, videos, and puzzles to escape the room before it’s too late!

• 2-50 players
• $25/player (plus tax) – Pricing is per player (not per computer connection)
• 70min of game play!

Our aim is to maximize fun and keep everyone engaged during game play. So we limit the people per room.

That wouldn’t be very fun, now would it? Don’t worry! Our rooms are designed so that things will make sense to you – if you need a little nudge in the right direction, that is no problem at all! Remember, you are entitled to 3 hints, so you will surely find your way towards success!

Yes, there is. At The Escape Artist, all sales are final, which means no refunds. Please be aware of that our game is a live event, so once the booking is confirmed, refunds and cancellations are not accepted. 

Please plan to arrive 10-15 minutes prior to game start, so that the game can begin on time. If you arrive after the official start time, your game time will be shortened accordingly, as there will be other games after yours. COVID-19 Provision: Please arrive 5min prior to your booking start time, as our lobby door will remain locked until 5min prior.

Absolutely! We attach a link to your confirmation email, and highly encourage you to sign it ahead of time! You can also download and print the waiver from here. If not, no worries, as we have a contactless system in our lobby where you can sign on your own personal mobile device.

No! All of our experiences are private! We have a tiered pricing system if you do not purchase all of the tickets, but you will never play with strangers!
