  IQ Escape offers an immersive, one-of-a-kind escape room experience. Our escape games are all about fun and allow groups of co-workers, friends, and family members to experience 60 minutes of themed adventure - designed to elicit unmatched thrills and excitement! We don't simply ask you to "escape the room", IQ Escape teams may be tasked with solving crimes, saving the world, traveling through time, or pulling off the perfect heist! Additionally, we don't ask you to fumble through a series of combination locks and puzzles - like our less inventive escape room brethren. We expect you to navigate through a well-developed adventure, modeled with seemingly real life tasks and storylines. Great for kids 8 and up. We do require at least one adult in the room for children under 12. Parents will assist in keeping the kids on track in the room! We are able to customize the difficulty level by giving additional clues to younger groups! (less) ... Read more
