Escape Game Erie: Give the Gift of Adventure This Holiday Season

December 13, 2018

Escape Game Erie is an interactive game designed as pure entertainment for the whole family! During the game, players immerse themselves in a fictional scenario where the outcome is anything but certain.

However, unlike being the passive observer at a movie or play, you are the center of attention! Will you find your inner hero and help lead your team through the locked door to safety? Or will you succumb to the pressure and leave yourself and company trapped behind that very door forever?

Escape Game Erie is a great holiday memory-maker for families! Groups as large as 10 are welcome to all play at the same time.

Escape Game Erie also has gift certificates available -- which means you can give the gift of true adventure this Christmas! 

Even if you've gone through one of their escape rooms before, there's always a new one to try! In fact, there are five themes for you to choose from:

Escape the Niagara

Dateline September, 1813: Lake Erie is Under Siege...  

Your group of spies may be our only hope! The Flagship NIAGARA has lagged behind, unknowingly taken by the British, and YOU have been CAPTURED and placed in the Captain's Quarters. Commodore Perry is already in a rowboat from the Lawrence enroute to transfer ships, and if he does he will unknowingly be captured as well. You MUST get out to let Perry know what has happened so the Niagara can re-enter the battle. There is lore about Elliott leaving a CRYPTIC escape path from the captain's quarters but can you uncover it and escape to warn Perry ... in time?

Federal Treasure. 

It's 235 years removed from the Revolutionary War and the National Archives have announced a tour exhibiting the Declaration of Independence... it will be on traveling display to sites throughout the United States and the next stop on the tour is the historic Nicholson House. There have always been stories of hidden secrets within our nation's most important document and you have been hired by the Washington Society to access it and decipher the messages left within it. The messages have been there for hundreds of years and are said to be the key to finding our hidden national treasures. 

Your team's man on the inside has left you the trail to get it and get it out and its up to you and your team to do it in time. The FBI has been tipped to the scheme and you have 55 minutes to decipher the code within and get out... can you do it and will you find the secret? 

Forgotten Laboratory 

The Meiser Building in downtown Erie, once vacant and abandoned, has undergone a total renovation and has been restored to its original grandeur. With the renovation complete, the downtown preservation society has begun offering tours of this beautiful and historic space... 

... you will be one of the first to experience EVERYTHING the Meiser Building has to offer and there are a few surprises in store! When someone on the tour wanders away and enters a previously hidden hallway you find yourself inside a top secret, World War II, forgotten government laboratory. Abandoned for more than 70 years, how are there still tests being performed? Why is the room filling with gas? Can you escape in time? Work hand in hand with your group to solve the puzzles and decipher the clues so we NEVER have to find out... 

Abducted

You awaken... somewhat dazed and confused, and the last thing you can remember is walking to your car after an enjoyable dinner with friends. What could have happened? How did you get here? 

Only TIME will tell but, yes, you have been ABDUCTED and now you must work together with your group to escape and find your way to freedom. If there is any good news it is that your captors have done this before and some have escaped and left clues for you to find your way out. Find them, any way you can! Solve the puzzles and decipher the codes to outwit your captors and ESCAPE. But remember, you have to beat the clock or...  

Da Vinci's Secret

Your best friend, the world's foremost Da Vinci expert has left her Paris apartment and gone to The Louvre to stop a bomb threat set to destroy all of the Da Vinci artifacts and, thus, end any chance of finding da Vinci's Secret forever. After deciphering the bomber's code on her own and contacting Police Nationale she arrives at The Louvre and is detained AS A SUSPECT. With her one call, she has called you and asked you to go to her apartment right away. Do not waste a second. Since she is being held AT The Louvre time she has very little time. 

Can you and your group decipher her messages and retrace her cryptic trail to retrieve the bomb code and clear your friend's name? And can you do it before ...
