The Escape World - Washington, D.C.

Washington, D.C.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Capitol Hill, White House and the great museum quarter. These are the attractions that everybody can read about and perhaps everybody have been. As a small child you've been here - the number of visiting school groups is the highest in the States - to stare the President residance and was amazed by the size of the Abe Lincoln statue. As an adult you probably have mixed feeling towards the people runnig the country from the capital but the city itself has great attractions.

The new form of entertainment are the escape rooms popping out the ground nowadays. You'll be locked in a room with some of your friends and you have to find a way out. Solving puzzles thinking/working together is great fun and you could easily spend 90 minutes meanwhile the other part of your group visits the monuments you already saw at least 3 times. Here you can find these brand new and exciting places:

Escape Room Live DC

Escape Room Live DC has two different locations one in Washington and one in Alexandria. At Washington they have a capacity up to 54 people and in Alexandria for 110.
