Fall Game Guide (Updated for 2024)
Summer’s all but over, and school is just around the corner. Why not have one last adventure? We have games in a wide range of difficulty, team size capacity and themes. In this guide you’ll find all 9 of our escape games, listed from easiest to hardest, along with a brief description and a recommendation for what type of group would most enjoy it.
Christmas Crunchtime
Ok, ok, we know that this game is a bit out of season at the moment, but everyone can benefit from a little Christmas Spirit (and Christmas Crunchtime provides plenty). Bright colors, toys and presents galore; you’ll fall in love before the game even starts. Even if you’ve played its predecessor, Santa’s Messy Workshop, this game offers a beautiful new set, an urgent new goal, and a delightful new character. The game is designed to teach children how to play escape rooms, so adults beware!
Difficulty: Beginner
Available at: Medical Center
Perfect for: children learning to play escape rooms
PastaWay
Pastaway is the perfect game for any group of 2 players. While we generally recommend it to couples, the story makes no assumptions of the group’s relationship status, making it fun for friends, siblings, and the yet-to-be-determined relationships. This game is story-based, focusing on letting the players help resolve the story. This is also our easiest game, so if you aren’t sure which game to play first, start here.

Apartment A
Going for something more chill, more simple? We get it. We recommend Apartment A for any player looking for a worry-free escape experience.

High Noon
We all have that one friend who’s really competitive, right? No? You don’t know what we mean? Hate to break it to you, but that means that you’re that friend. Sorry. But hey, no worries, we have a game for you. Bring all your friends (and I mean all your friends) to High Noon, the perfect team-based escape room. In this game you and your friends will be split into two teams and try to race each other through the challenges left to you by the local sheriff. Not really into competitive play? Smaller groups of players are welcome to play one side of the experience. No competition necessary.

Ready for some spooky vibes? Murfree’s Manor can provide. This game is not scary per se, but it is definitely creepy. No jumpscares, no gore, but an unshakeable feeling that something isn’t right…. This is a more physically active experience, as well as difficult to solve, so come ready.
