Escape Rooms
Test your family’s wits at one of Fairfax County’s escape rooms!
Escapology Escape Rooms has a range of themed rooms that vary based on difficulty and age. For an easier experience with younger kids, try Arizona Shootout. In this room, your family will have to stop outlaws before they flee to Mexico. Narco is the most difficult room, as participants have to escape abduction from a drug lord. This room has two different endings and is suited for teens.
With over 15 exciting games, Bond’s Escape Room is the largest escape room venue on the East Coast. These rooms are extremely realistic and also have different skill levels and age requirements. Bowl Voyage is the easiest room and will require your family to escape a cell before captors eat you alive. One of the hardest rooms is Evil A.I. in which participants must put an end to technology’s terrorizing control.
Teamwork is key if you’re to successfully escape these rooms on time!
