Celebrating 5 Years of Escape Room Arlington – Your Memories!

As we celebrate the 5th anniversary of Escape Room Arlington, we want to take a moment to reflect on some of the amazing experiences that our customers have had over the years. From first-time players to escape room enthusiasts, and from corporate team building to birthday parties, we've had the pleasure of hosting a wide range of groups – each with their own unique stories to share from the best escape room in the DC area.

We reached out to our biggest inspiration - you! - to ask for stories if you wish to celebrate with us. Here are just a few of our favorites:

A group of co-workers hold signs that say things like "We Escaped!" in celebration of successfully escaping one of our rooms.

We’ve loved hosting all of your events for the past five years - from birthday parties and team building activities (like this one) to bachelor parties, proposals, and everything in between. Thank you for all the memories!

“Did the "third hardest" (or second easiest) room with a group of super smart, talented females/colleagues. ABSOLUTELY fun and we got to finish in 50 min without even asking for a clue. Definitely my best escape room experience. It was tough but SO rewarding to finish. Our entire group can't stop raving about this spot and about the next time we get to come. Thank you so much for a Fun experience. Extremely friendly and kind staff!” – Vanessa D.

“My sister and I did all four rooms just the two of us over a period of ~24 hours. What can I say? We're escape room addicts!” – Beth G.

“This is a great spot for birthdays. I planned my daughter's 11 birthday here for 20 kids. They gave me 2 rooms and I split the teams up boy vs girls.  They had a great time.” – Susan O.

“Our group did Poe's Chamber and had a GREAT time figuring out the clues - they were all very well synced and thought out. Definitely worthy of the difficulty level it was assigned. Given it is also Poe, the room does have a creepy vibe, but the clues to figure around that creepiness made the solve all the more epic WITH 3 minutes to spare!!” – Danielle W.

“Our entire group screaming when a [REDACTED - wouldn’t you like to know?] fell out of a cabinet and right on us! One of my friends claimed he didn't scream and wasn't scared at all, but we know the truth.” – Rachel S.

“I came here with my sisters to have fun before she heads off to college & do something on the safer side since we haven't done much during quarantine. I kept saying I wanted to do an escape room & I can't believe I didn't come to this place sooner! It was so much more fun & exciting than I thought it would be! I loved this place so much! Our game master, Lillian took the whole experience to the next level.” – Katelyn R.

These are just a few of the many stories that we've heard over the years, and each one reminds us of why we do what we do. We love seeing people come together, whether it’s a bachelor party, a corporate event, or a fun family outing.

As we look to the future, we're excited to continue providing unique and challenging escape room experiences for our customers. We can't wait to see what new stories will be created in the years to come – we have always prided ourselves on being the best escape room in Arlington and we can’t wait to share what’s in store for the future.

Thank you to all of our customers for making the past 5 years such an incredible journey. Here's to many more!
