Best escape rooms in Indianapolis: find options near you

What a fun, creative and interactive experience! We did the Clue room which was incredibly fun and had different types of puzzles and things to solve for them we’ve seen at other places. We did as a family if 4 (2 adults, teen and tween) and everyone loved it. I like that they give you unlimited clues, even though we only needed a couple for this one.

This was our first time doing an escape/breakout room and we loved it! The staff were very friendly and explained things thoroughly. They allowed us to ask for hints if we were stuck. I wasn’t sure if this would be fun for my kids but they loved it. There are several options for “all ages” so if bringing kids definitely choose a kid friendly one.

Edit- we went again and the second time was even better because we knew what to expect. Seth was very helpful when we had questions.

Pamela and Matthew made our night!!! We were running late, and they were so gracious. Our group could not be more thankful for their hospitality. The escape rooms are top notch. You won’t regret coming here!

I have done every escape room except the Kidnapping 2!

Monopoly – 2/5 – I did Clue first, so my expectations were high. I was let down by this room. I might have liked it better if I had done it before Clue.

Clue – 5/5 – The best room they have there, hands down!
The Kidnapping – 3/5 – There were no blindfolds available so that took away a star for me. Was a lot of fun though and a great room with a spooky feel without being scary.

Island Escape – 3/5 – Definitely an older room, but still good.

Mystery Mansion – 3/5 – Lots of math and the five minute timer makes it impossible to think in the last 5 mins.

Museum Heist – 3/5 I don’t remember much about this room other than my group liked it, but it wasn’t the most fun.

Bomb Squad – 3/5 – Room was again, just alright, but different than other rooms we had done before.

Submarine Survival – 2/5 – My group was super excited about this room because we were at a different one and we heard people screaming and laughing. Wasn’t scary or that fun. My least favorite room by far.

Wild West – 5/5 – Just did this one and we had a blast!! Sam Elliot’s voice as the way to introduce our room was a fun touch!

Runaway Train – 4/5 – This one gave my group a run for our money. We had so much fun and the only room we didn’t finish.

I wanted to do an escape room with the kids for my birthday. This place was great! Very friendly staff, Kid friendly and there was enough in the small room to keep all 6 of us engaged. We just barely made it out.

This was our first time here. For half of our party who live locally, it was their first time doing an Escape Room. A great time was had- with all of us wanting to do another. This is significant, given that one person is claustrophobic! Maybe we’ll see you the next time we’re in town!

We did the Clue room and it was so fun! Our game master Amanda was super nice and funny and it was such a good time.

We had such a great time at the Fishers Escape Room celebrating my mother’s birthday! She loves puzzles, so doing the Escape the Titanic room with her, my husband, son, and parents was the perfect activity. The puzzles were fun, challenging, and really well designed—it kept all of us engaged the entire time. Our host, Josh, was fantastic! He was friendly, energetic, and made the whole experience even better. We’ll definitely be coming back to try the other rooms. Highly recommend for a fun family outing or special occasion!

Escape the Titanic was an absolute blast! our host Dakota was awesome. The artifacts, lighting and sound really made our experience! The tilted floor really made us feel like the ship was sinking.

I came for my birthday to the Christmas one, and it was incredible, so I brought my sister today and Bri helped us get out of the Titanic before it sank. We only had 5:22, but she was so friendly and helpful, and the props for the room were accurate and fun. It was really a great experience!!

Trinity did a fantastic job leading our group through the 1776 room. We made it out but we definitely couldn’t have done it without a hint or two that trinity did great with. This escape room honestly one of the best that I’ve been to. I would highly recommend. Trinity was a great hostess!

My family and I had a great time doing the Night at the Castle escape room! Our game master, Nick, was very helpful, and thanks to him we were able to pull out a win! Would recommend this for anyone looking for a fun and challenging experience!

This was the best escape room I have ever done! We did the Night at the Castle and the Christmas Coin Operation and our host Trinity was amazing! She really made the experience super fun and we will definitely be coming back for another escape room soon.

We had a great time in the Race room with Trinity! The puzzles were challenging, but within the realm of solving with just two people! Great way for us to stay entertained while visiting town. Trinity was a great help in leading our experience.

Our escape room was so fun!! Mina was super helpful and guided us in the right direction the whole way, without giving anything away. Love her, she made it awesome. Also, I was a bit worried going with my boyfriend and friends since we are all younger than 18, but we ended up doing a great job only using one hint with ten minutes to spare. Definitely would recommend coming here! Thanks Mina!

We brought 5 kids and 5 adults to the Escape Room. Alex, Tony, and team did a great job and made it a memorable experience! Would recommend.

We completed the Art Gallery for a team building event and had a blast!! Matty and Danny were awesome guides. We finished with just over three min to spare. It is a great event for team building for the office…highly recommended!!

Art Gallery was amazing. Definitely challenged our team but we pulled it off with minutes to spare. Matty and Danny made it so enjoyable as well with their hints and commentary.

I came here for a bachelorette party and we had a great experience! It was very clean in the waiting area and the employees we interacted with were very nice. We finished our contagion room with only one second to spare! Alex, our host, was wonderful and made the experience very enjoyable! I will definitely be returning sometime soon.

Simply the best! Great crew, great games and great drinks. Super friendly and helpful. Made our day! Thank you! We will be back!

Rowan was super nice and accommodating! Our group did the bank heist and was allowed to start early even though our entire group wasn’t there yet. The hints given along the way were also very helpful but weren’t too revealing. Would definitely recommend someone who knows which direction counterclockwise and clockwise are for this room, though.

This is definitely the best escape room experience I have ever been to! From the aesthetics to the puzzles to the game master, everything was top notch! The puzzles were challenging, but not impossible. The difficulty level was just right to be fun. Jace was also super friendly and helpful! Highly recommended.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by Jake who wore a lovely smile, explained everything to us thoroughly and made sure we were totally comfortable. Upon beginning the room, we had a game master named Jace who did a great job making sure our game ran smoothly and kept our hints quick and helpful without being TOO helpful if that makes sense. The room was awesome, and “Next Gen” meaning there were no physical locks and keys, etc… instead, drawers, doors, cases and such opened automatically upon the completion of each “puzzle”. It felt very high tech and also very smooth and left no room for error, which I love! After finishing our room (with over 7 minutes to spare thanks to Jace’s helpful hints ), Jake came back into the room to guide us back up front, but happily snapped a photo of us in the room first. We were incredibly impressed with the entire experience and will be back to PanIQ again soon!

We went twice while visiting! The crime was extremely hard, however I went with a 10 year old. The second one was the horror story one and we got out and it was amazing! They both are set up so amazingly! Kudos to the game masters. Also our second time visiting Friday Aug 1 I think we have (Elisa, elyssa, Alicia) can’t reminder her pronunciation of her name but she was the best game master to date! And I’ve done plenty of rooms! You can tell she just love what she is doing, and I love that! She was also funny and just made the experience wonderful!

My daughters (11/14) and I played the Stranded in Space room and had a great experience. Our host, Stephanie, was helpful and attentive and the puzzles were interactive and fun to solve. The room had a lot of technology which fit the theme well, but it was also mixed with a lot of hands on and puzzles requiring teamwork and communication. Everything a fun escape room should have! If we are ever back in Indy, we will definitely come play the other games.

Our group of 9 did the “Perfect Crime” escape room and had an awesome time! The puzzles were just the right level. They were not too easy, but not too hard either. Everyone got to help out and stay involved, which made it even more fun.

Our host, Jace, was great! Super friendly and helpful, and made the whole experience even better. You can tell he really enjoys what he does, and that helped set a fun tone for the room.

We laughed a lot, worked together, and had a blast. If you’re looking for something fun to do with a group, we definitely recommend this room. We’re already talking about coming back for another one!

We went to celebrate my daughters 15th birthday! We had a great time! It’s absolutely worth it and Jace was awesome!

Fun room, well made and creative! All the puzzles actually worked and were challenging without being too esoteric. We were able to set a top three record in the perfect crime room! Our host was Elyssa and she was great!

Recommend you do this with your family. We are not pros by any means, but this really is so much fun to work together but also, it’s hysterical how different personalities play out when under pressure. We did “The Collection” and it was very challenging. Our game master- Salem was super helpful and gave us clues when we asked AND gave us extra time. A few jump moments made it funny at Mom’s expense. Highly recommend for good old fashioned family time!

We had a super fun time with this escape room. I’d never been to one before and it was definitely worth it! We did the white rabbit rescue and it was Alice in Wonderland themed. Alice is one of my favorite Disney movies and this escape room did not disappoint! I definitely want to go back for their other rooms!

Super clean and organized with informed staff and a relaxed atmosphere. This was a great afternoon activity for our friend’s birthday. Wheelchair friendly with accessible bathrooms and accommodations in the puzzle rooms.

I’ve played a lot of escape games (so many I stopped counting) and I really enjoyed this place’s ability to make it challenging and fun for the group.

The clues they give were helpful without caring about penalties, the staff were animated with the story and friendly, and the company has a chance to gain freebies at the end of the game which was cool.

For those that love solving puzzles and playing these games will have a good time.

We have done a lot of escape rooms. A lot. And this is by far the best. The most engaging, the most varied tricks, and just enough difficulty to keep us on our toes. The people who own it definitely are fans of haunts, Just the way the rooms and gimmicks are set up. We did the collection, and there was just enough poltergeist action to keep us uneasy and working fast! Game Masters are friendly and helpful and engaged. Will definitely return.

We did The Cabin escape room yesterday and had a lot of fun. There were more steps than we expected which kept us engaged the entire time. I wanted to shout out our room master, I’m so sorry I don’t remember her name. She had glasses and curly orange/pink hair. She was very charming and funny, made us all feel comfortable and supported. My 10yo was talking this morning about how great she was so we hope this message gets to her. Thank you!

Had a lot of fun in the Sweet Shoppe escape room with our 2 children. We almost made it. We took 63 minutes. Definitely have to do another room! Staff was great tonight! Zach was our host.

My family and I did The Hunted room and it was amazing. We aren’t very good at escape rooms, but enjoy them. Julie was our host and she was absolutely amazing w us. The atmosphere is scary with a lot of humor as well. Entering the building blindfolded is a little scary, but it sets you up for exactly what you’re there to do. The props are awesome, we had difficulty trying to put puzzles together but were given just the right amount of clues to move ahead. We did escape by the seat of our pants, and afterward Julie explained the background to this room and it’s amazing how this room is really based on true life events that have occurred. Julie is the owner and creator of the rooms, and has done an amazing job creating The Hunted room. We will be back to try and escape additional rooms. Had a great time and well worth the experience! Thanks Julie! You’ were incredible. Denise, Savanna, & Kat

This was the best escape room I’ve done. My friends and I did the cabin, and the atmosphere was oppressive. It was so creepy and fun. The host was incredible and did a great job making the game fun while supplying hints in a helpful way. I wish I lived closer so I could come back and do every other room here. Definitely recommend 10/10

I did “The Cabin” with my friends this weekend, and it was so much fun! It was creepy, the puzzles were interesting, and it tested our ability as a small group of 3. The host was amazing! She has so much enthusiasm and made our experience so much better. If you’re in the area, you should check it out! 🙂

Daughter and her friends did “The Funeral Parlor” escape room for her birthday and they loved it! All of the girls had so much fun and the hosts make it such a fun experience! Highly recommend!!

This was awesome. Right amount of scary and funny. The four of us did The Cabin. The host was fantastic. Totally recommend.

If you like scary with a little laughter, go here. We enjoyed the Funeral Parlor (I think that’s what we did). We escaped and made it out without the spirits getting us. It’s attached to Washington Square mall with its own entrance.

My group and I played the cabin (in the dark because I’m sure it’s better that way). We barely escaped with our lives with only 1 minute to spare!! Julie was great. She gave clues that helped without making it too easy or giving it away. That made it so much fun. She is full of personality which made the experience great. 3 of the people in my group were from MN and 3 from OH , meeting up to do something fun. WE DID! If I lived closer I would go again so I could try the other ones, but maybe my friends and I will just need to meet up again.

I highly suggest visiting Julie!!

I solely am upset with the customer service I received on my visit . We were told were the restrooms were; not shown .

Then we waited up front for about 10 mins for the same girls to come back up & guide us to our room .

We almost finished the room however due to some technical issues with their devices & locks we were unable to escape completely .

Then when offered to take photos , the girl took our photos with her phone even though we had asked her to take our photos with our phones so we could have them .

There was no apology, we simply switched phones . We said our goodbyes & left to be greeted by another employee , who asked us how our experience was .

I explained my concerns & she simply said to go online & get a coupon from Facebook.

No extended courtesy , no discount or reimbursement . Just a simple suggestions .. . . . .

What’s even saddening is that they have a placard claiming that they are a 5 star establishment right at the welcome desk , I certainly do believe that they DESERVE 1 MAYBE 2 stars .

Needless to say I won’t be back to THIS location , I have been to others & they are most certainly a lot more friendly !

The escape room was a fun time. However it was very cheaply put together and a lot of times you had to input clues in multiple times for it to work properly. They give you a hour to try to escape and should be more than enough time if there props work as they were intended to. The person working that night wasn’t the most friendly person either.

My group and I had such an amazing time. We did the Antidote escape room but sadly we didn’t solve in time. The antique decor pieces throughout the facility are so beautiful. Charity was also amazing. We felt really welcomed. You should definitely try out these escape rooms. I can’t wait to go back

This was the best escape room I’ve been to! Everything was very well-kept, the staff was super friendly, and the vibe of the whole facility is really cool. We did the Scooby-Doo room with 3 adults and it was so much fun—the perfect mix of challenging puzzles and nostalgia. We can’t wait to go back and play the other rooms!

Me and the family tried to help the Scooby-Doo gang solve the mystery. Came close but ultimately the ghost got away. Kids had a load of fun staff was very nice. Will definitely be returning to fully solve the mystery and try other rooms! Awesome time!

Me and my friend had so much and the escape room was pretty hard so left us a great challenge (and they let us have extra hints ) Nolan was so kind and took our pictures and made it all feel very welcoming

Clean atmosphere and friendly staff. Four of us risked being trapped in the Lost City forever. Some of the clues were difficult, but with a couple assists from staff, we were able to work through the clues and ESCAPED. Great Time! We will definitely do a different room soon.
