1.Outdoor Escape Room in Seattle – Seattle Center

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 27 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $75Our pick

Outdoor escape room at Seattle Center. Solve app-based puzzles with real-world clues, starring a potion master story. About 2 hours.

“Customer service was very responsive and beyond excellent, and it was a good way to get kids outdoors. They had fun. For us as experienced escape room players, ages 12-adult, the game had some sticking points and we had to use hints to solve more than I would’ve preferred, but it was fun for all.

Solve a Seattle time-travel scavenger hunt with the Questo app, hitting Space Needle, Seattle Center, and more for $7.20 and flexible pacing.

“Difficulty finding the instructions once we signed up - they were not clear, and we just kept being sent to the same page, essentially going in circles for about an hour. Customer service was great - they were prompt and helpful. That's about the only positive I have to share. When my partner went to download the trip instructions, they wanted all his information, rather than mine (I was the one who signed up/paid).
