4 Scavenger Hunts & Escape Games in Seattle to Build a Day Around

1.Outdoor Escape Room in Seattle – Seattle Center

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 27 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) Our pick

Solve potion-themed puzzles across Seattle Center with an app, clue box, murals, sculptures, and two hours of outdoor fun.

The difficulty level was perfect by my estimation, though I do a lot of escape rooms, so I might be more attuned to the challenge level than a newcomer would be. The amount of area covered and the different ways locations were described were all excellent. Very easy to understand, and took us to some new places in an area we thought we were familiar with. Lots of fun!”

“Difficulty finding the instructions once we signed up - they were not clear, and we just kept being sent to the same page, essentially going in circles for about an hour. Customer service was great - they were prompt and helpful. That's about the only positive I have to share. When my partner went to download the trip instructions, they wanted all his information, rather than mine (I was the one who signed up/paid). He chose not to have it on his phone, because they wanted too much info. So we just used the one phone (we paid for two, which it turns out we didn't need to). The path…”
