9 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.

“My wife and I had an excellent experience with the adventure! 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!”

“We never could find whatever we were supposed to find in front of the art museum. And the totem poles at the waterfront are gone at the moment, off getting refurbished, so we had to guess at that one. The route it takes you through is intended to pad the time and the story narration hops out of present tense and into past tense a few times.”

“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…”
