What is an escape room?
Inspired by escape-esque video games, adventure board games, and movies, escape rooms are real-life adventure games where participants are locked in a room, and by using the elements around them solve a series of puzzles, find clues, or piece together answers that help them "escape" within a set amount of time. Participants must be extremely observant, able to collaborate with a team, and use critical thinking skills in order to get out.
Escape rooms are great for:
- Critical thinking
- Solving puzzles
- Building communication skills
- Team building
- Challenging yourself
- Having fun
Our Current Escape Rooms
221B BAKER STREET
Dr. Watson needs your help. Moriarty once vowed to Sherlock that "if you are clever enough to bring destruction upon me, rest assured that I shall do as much to you," and he has made good on that promise. Now Holmes is in custody, blamed for stealing the crown jewels. Can you help them before he stands trial?
DON'T ENTER 1408 (*SCARY*)
*HORROR ROOM* You spend your days debunking supernatural phenomena, but when you receive a mysterious letter that reads "Don't Enter 1408" you can't help but be intrigued. The room is said to prey on your worst fears, and you've been contacted to help one of the ghosts who haunts it. Can you survive the room long enough to save Georgie's spirit?
STRANGEST THINGS
Your friend has gone missing and there’s no sign of where he might be. You were in the woods searching for clues when you were abducted, shoved into a van, and brought to the mysterious laboratory on the outskirts of town. You have no idea who brought you here or why, but something seems off. You and your friends need to escape before anyone returns.
JABBERWOCKY
We flipped our Wonderland room on its head for the darker side of Alice’s adventures. Alice wanders–lost, my friends, through a wood of some renown—and you must find her, no matter the cost. But beware—the Jabberwocky is on the prowl.
SWEET ESCAPE
Welcome to the world of Chef Sweet, a confection creator who desperately needs your help! Chef Sweet’s arch nemesis, Chef Salty, has a nefarious plan to make all candy taste healthy! Can you reach the Unbreakable Jawbreaker and save Chef Sweet’s sugary secrets before it’s too late?
Team Building & Corporate Events
High-performing teams are successful because they work well together. They are efficient, organized, and competitive enough with each other that they push the team forward.
That is why activities that flex those key collaboration muscles are so important for the health of your team. Escape Lincoln is the perfect place for your team to use their teamwork skills outside of the normal workspace! In a fun, casual atmosphere, your team can learn more about their individual work styles and how the composition of the team contributes to the success of their common goals.
