Orlando Escape Rooms: 60-Minute Games on I-Drive

Summary

Orlando escape games with family or friends on I-Drive

You’ll team up for 60 minutes of puzzle-solving inside one of eight themed Orlando escape rooms on International Drive. A local game guide helps you get started and checks in if you need hints. Expect teamwork, laughs, and maybe a little friendly chaos as you race the clock together.

What’s the experience like?

"So, who’s actually good at riddles?" That’s what my cousin blurted out as we stood outside The Escape Game Orlando, right next to ICON Park. The sun was still clinging to our backs, but once we stepped inside, it felt like a different world — cool air, low hum of voices, the faint smell of something sweet (maybe someone just came from Cold Stone Creamery next door). Our game guide, Jamie, handed us a mission card and grinned like she knew exactly how confused we’d be in about five minutes.

I picked “The Depths” because the idea of an underwater lab sounded weirdly comforting after a week of Florida heat. Right away, there were lights flickering blue and green — honestly, it messed with my sense of time. At one point I was so focused on a puzzle that I jumped when my brother yelled he’d found a clue behind a fake coral. Jamie checked in over the speaker when we got stuck (which happened more than I want to admit), never making us feel dumb. There’s this moment when you’re all staring at the same lock and nobody has a clue — kind of humbling, actually.

The hour goes fast. Like, really fast. We didn’t make it out in time (I blame myself for overthinking the last riddle), but we laughed about it over burgers at Five Guys afterward. I kept thinking about how everyone — even my mom who usually hates games — got pulled into it. And honestly? The little adrenaline rush when the clock started ticking is something I still think about sometimes.
