Escape Rooms for Kids in Philadelphia

Escape the Room Philly—Philadelphia 

All of the games at Escape the Room Philly are kid-friendly, although challenges are designed with the adult in mind. Any group with a member 14 years or under must have at least one adult accompanying the group. If you'd like to come with kids 10 and under, please book the whole room for your friends and family. There are two convenient locations in Rittenhouse and on South Street, both offering different themes.

Mind Escape—Philadelphia

Mind Escape welcomes kids of all ages, but kids under 13 will need some help from the adults in the group, as the games are designated from moderate to hard. Choose from rooms based on Jack the Ripper, a prison break, or Alice in Wonderland.

Beat the Bomb — Philadelphia

For an active twist on an escape room, ages 8 and up can step into a real-life video game. Teams of 4 to 6 suit up in hazmat gear to solve puzzles in several rooms. If they fail, they get blasted with either foam, paint, or slime. Age 8 and 9 must be accompanied by an adult; ages 10-16 can play the game alone but an adult must be on the premises. Waivers are required for everyone under 18.

Center City Escape — Philadelphia

Several rooms at Center City Escape are great for all ages. Unlock the mysteries of the "Cabin in the Woods," take an epic adventure in "Game of Stones," or solve the "Mystery of Dr. Frankenstein." Ages 6 and under are free. Some games have age recommendations based on content.

Escape Rooms for Kids in the Philly Suburbs

Amazing Escape Room—King of Prussia 

All of the rooms here are kid-friendly, but kids younger than 12 may need a little help from the adults with some of the clues or riddles. To go on their own, kids must be 12 and over. Enjoy finding your way out of a shipwreck, a spaceship, or a witch's cabin. 

Fans of the TV show "The Office" will love Escape West Chester. 

Escape West Chester—West Chester 

Players of any age can participate at Escape West Chester. For groups with kids, the facility offers “kids clues” to help them solve some puzzles more easily. Adult players will, of course, have to exercise their brains with the more obscure clues. Current rooms are inspired by hit TV shows Stranger Things and The Office, as well as one with an Eagles theme.

Project Escape—Conshohocken

"The Wizard's Secret" is sure to entertain Harry Potter lovers with a moderate difficulty level. "The Big Score" is also rated moderately difficult, while "The Meltdown", is recommended for those who want a real challenge out of their experience. The adventures are best enjoyed by those ages 8 and up. Kids under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. 

Expedition Escape—King of Prussia & Montgomeryville

There are no age restrictions here, and kids can search to find hidden items, but puzzles are built with adults in mind (players under 18 must be accompanied by an adult). Each location has an impressive amount of room options, and there is only a 2-person minimum to book a private room.   

Escape Room Mystery—King of Prussia

Children 7 and under will love exploring, those around age 8 will notice relevant clues, and 10-year-olds can solve puzzles independently, making this a great stop for families. Current room themes are "The Billionaire's Den," "The Egyptian Tomb," "Revolution Spies," and "Area 51." Children under age 15 must be accompanied by a paying adult over age 18.

Escape Trappe—Trappe/Collegeville 

Games are recommended for children 10 years and up. Anyone under the age of 10 must be accompanied by an adult. Thievery, wizardry, and secrets await visitors at this location. Check out rooms with themes such as Frankenstein, wizards in training, the "Super Plumber Brothers," and more.

Escapopolis — Lansdale

All ages can participate in most rooms at Escapopolis, with fun themes such as "Shipwreck Island,"  "Sir Ripple Sugarton's Candy Factory" and "The Treehouse." Kids under 5 do not need a ticket but need a waiver signed by a guardian. Those under age 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
