Downtown Salt Lake City has a brand new escape room venue, and there are some really fun games. Each room has a different theme and most are family-friendly, though there is one haunted house room. Escapology Salt Lake City is located in The Gateway, so it is perfect for anyone visiting the Salt Lake area. Solving an escape room is a great date night or family night activity.
We had a hard time choosing which game to do since they all looked really fun. Escapology has six different rooms, with more coming. There is an art heist, a Clue-esque murder mystery, a Scooby Doo mystery, a haunted house, a wild west saloon, a cool pirate themed room, and even a Mayan temple in the jungle. Escapology Salt Lake City is definitely geared for you to want to return and try out all of the different escape rooms.
We won’t spoil any of the puzzles in the game that we played at Escapology, but the story was pretty cool. The Mona Lisa had been stolen by a rich art collector and it was our job to find it in his mansion and then escape before the time was up. There were both physical challenges and brain puzzles, along with a variety of locks, codes, and other fun games. The best one had us crawling under green lasers like we were in a spy movie.
If you’ve never done a an escape room, there are some rules and directions to follow. First, don’t destroy or force anything. Second, if you get stuck, there is always a button that you can push to take a clue. There is no shame in taking a clue. We usually do! Third, there are generally multiple puzzles to work on at the same time, so split the team up and work on several things at once. Then switch and bring a new brain in when you get stuck.
Escapology Salt Lake City is in a great location and is full of amazing games. This one is appropriate for all ages, so bring the family and work together to solve some puzzles! You will be in your own room together, so no stress about working with anyone else. Use the code “ESCAPESLC” to save 20% off through March 2026 in honor of the grand opening of this new escape room.
