Escape Room 5280, Denver

The concept is simple: you're locked in a room with everything you need an ​escape. But, of course, there's a rub. Everything you need is hidden by puzzles, codes, and riddles, meaning the only way to unlock the door before the 60-minute timer runs is to work together and beat each challenge. And to make things even more interesting, Room 5280 adds a theme to each room, fully immersing friends, family members, and co-workers in a sometimes-scary, sometimes-curious tale. Read on to learn a bit about each.

• The Dark Room: Here, you have to battle the clock and the locked door in this immersive experience. Locked in darkness, participants must learn the story of the room and solve its mysteries.
• The Experiment: Professor Chladni was on the verge of a great discovery when he disappeared. Unfortunately, no one knows what he was doing or where he went. Now you and your team find yourselves trapped in his laboratory with 60 minutes to piece his experiments together.
• Weird Heritage: You've inherited an apartment from a mysterious relative you've never heard of before—but something is a bit off about it. After stopping by to check it out, you find yourself trapped. Now, you have only 60 minutes to figure out who this relative and escape.
