4.Outdoor Escape Room in Washington, D.C. – Adams Morgan

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 17 reviews · 2 hours (approx.)

Explore Adams Morgan as your game board in this two-hour outdoor escape room. Use a physical puzzle box, your phone, QR codes, and neighborhood clues to eliminate six suspects and solve a murder mystery. Bring walking shoes, water, and a fully charged phone.

“I highly recommend this as a family outing. There were 6 of us in our group -- in a wide age range; my husband and me (in our early 70s); our daughter and her husband (in their 40s) and our granddaughter and a friend (both 10). There were puzzles for everyone; it was a good assortment. The Hints were a big help in some of the more complicated puzzles; but we never had to go all the way to the Explanation, so the difficulty level was just right.”
