The Escape OKC, Oklahoma City

A live-action escape challenge, The Escape OKC puts groups of friends to the test by locking them in rooms filled with puzzles, riddles, and clues that lead the way out. The facility currently features two themed rooms: "The Forgotten Outpost," which has a Cold War vibe, and "Four Brothers," which is a twisted philosopher's study. After the door locks behind them, groups have exactly 60 minutes to sift through their room's stuff—its furniture, drawers, maps, and pictures—in search of an escape plan. Recommended for ages 12 and up, the experience requires a great deal of teamwork, as all participants must stay calm, share responsibility, and not scare everyone by wondering aloud who should be eaten first.
