It’s worth it to learn about a few escape rooms and breakout games that you and your family can enjoy. 

Plus, escape rooms are perfect for many things. Escape games are great for team building since you must work together to solve puzzles and escape. They also help those who are students, as escaping requires you to think and focus. Plus, it will bring your family together and test those who think they have what it takes to escape the most challenging rooms! Keep in mind that escape rooms could be excellent places for family reunions.

Escape rooms can allow families to work together as a team to solve a puzzle and escape, bonding with many smiles along the way. 

Escape House Waterville

The Escape House Waterville is a live escape game, which means you are locked into a room for 60 minutes. You will have to escape this room in just an hour or less! There are many objects, hints, and codes that will help you find your way out. 

In order to escape, you will have to think creatively. Not all the clues or hints will be straightforward, meaning you must use context clues and other indicators to help you with the puzzle. 

It is best to do this with a team. It will allow you to work together and find the exit. It will also allow you to enjoy many laughs while figuring out these complex clues. You must have at least two players to enter the escape room, but there cannot be more than eight players in a room at once. 

Anyone of any age can play the game. However, those who are under 12 will need an adult over the age of 18. Anyone who is confused or in need of help during the game can get additional clues by asking the Game Master.

XIT Escape Room

To enter this escape room, you must first book your appointment. You will select your time through the website, or you may do it over the phone or in person. 

You will then arrive a few minutes before your scheduled appointment. Be sure that you check in with the front desk when you arrive. You will be asked to complete a pre-game process. Once this is done, you can enter the escape room. 

Before you are left in the room, you will be given a brief explanation of the rules and expectations. You may also receive a hint or two during this brief. You are then locked in the room and given 60 minutes to escape. There are many mysteries located within the escape as well. The goal is to escape the room while solving as many mysteries as possible. 

There are a few rooms available, each with different missions and themes. There are also many new themes coming soon! You can see how difficult the rooms are and how many people succeed in the rooms before booking, allowing you to pick a room that fits the skills of all those in your group. 

You will need at least two people to enter the escape room. However, the most that can be in a room is eight people. There is also one room that will only hold six people. 

Gulf Coast Escape Room

This escape room is for those of all ages. Many different rooms are available, such as the Meltdown room, the Anna Bell room, and the Voodoo Cabin. Anna Bell is their newest room, so you can see if you can be among the first to escape! Each room has different puzzles and clues that match its unique theme. This also means that some will be harder and scarier than others. For those with children coming along, it may be best to pick an escape room with an easy difficulty level and low scare level. 

Some rooms will only allow you thirty minutes to escape, while others will offer an hour. You will need to look at the rooms ahead of time to determine what option is best for your group. For those staying in our Gulf Shores beach rentals, booking with the Gulf Coast Escape Room will be ideal. You are not far away from this business when staying at a beach rental.

Breakout Games

Another great option is known as the Runaway Train. You must ensure that all passengers are off the train and that you escape before the train blows up when arriving at the station. For those looking for an adrenaline rush, you can participate in The Kidnapping. This is a room where you are handcuffed and must escape this room within sixty minutes.
