Escape Everett

Description

Ready for a mind-bending adventure that’ll make your typical Friday night look totally boring? Escape Everett transforms downtown Everett into a playground of puzzles and immersive storytelling. I’ve gotta tell ya, this isn’t your average escape room setup – these folks have seriously upped the game with their attention to detail.

The star of the show right now is their Alice in Wonderland-themed room (Escape Wonderland), which honestly feels like tumbling down the rabbit hole yourself. And if you’re anything like me and grew up dreaming of getting that Hogwarts letter, you’ll flip when you hear about their Harry Potter-inspired Wizard Alley experience. Oh, and heads up – they’re cooking up this absolutely hilarious airplane-themed room that’s gonna take off (pun totally intended) in 2023.

What really sets this place apart is how they’ve managed to create these multi-room experiences that actually make you feel like you’re part of the story. You’re not just solving random puzzles – you’re the hero of your own adventure! The rooms are decked out with incredible decorations that’ll make your jaw drop, and the puzzles? They’re clever without being impossible, ya know?

Best Time to Visit

Look, I’ve played enough escape rooms to know timing is everything. Weekends are usually packed (especially Saturday afternoons), so if you can swing it, try booking a weekday slot. Evening sessions during the week tend to have better availability, and you might even score some sweet deals.

For the best experience, show up about 15 minutes before your scheduled time – trust me, you don’t wanna feel rushed during the pre-game briefing. And if you’re bringing the whole crew, holiday periods can get super busy, so book well in advance during Christmas break or summer vacation.

How to Get There

Getting to Escape Everett is pretty straightforward, especially if you’re coming from Seattle. Just hop on I-5 North and follow it to downtown Everett. The spot’s right in the heart of downtown, which means you’ve got plenty of parking options nearby.

If you’re taking public transit (which, honestly, can be pretty chill), Sound Transit and Community Transit both have routes that’ll drop you within walking distance. And hey, while you’re in the area, you might as well make a day of it – there are tons of cool restaurants and coffee shops nearby for pre or post-game fuel.

Tips for Visiting

Alright, lemme share some insider tips that’ll help you make the most of your escape room adventure. First off, wear comfy clothes – you might need to crawl or reach into tight spaces, and nobody wants to deal with a restricted range of motion when they’re trying to crack codes.

Groups of 4-6 people tend to work best – anymore than that and you might end up with too many cooks in the kitchen, if ya know what I mean. And don’t worry about bringing anything special – just your phone for pics before and after (no photos during the game, obviously) and maybe some reading glasses if you need ’em.

Here’s a pro tip that saved my bacon more than once: designate someone to be the “coordinator” who keeps track of what puzzles you’ve solved and what clues you’ve found. Nothing worse than wasting precious minutes re-solving something you’ve already figured out!

Oh, and don’t be shy about asking for hints – the game masters are super helpful and won’t judge. Better to get a nudge in the right direction than spend 20 minutes staring at the same lock. And if you’re bringing kids (which is totally cool), maybe give them specific tasks to focus on – it’ll keep them engaged and make them feel like proper puzzle-solving champions.

Finally, make sure to book in advance through their website – especially if you’ve got your heart set on a specific room or time slot. These experiences tend to fill up fast, and there’s nothing worse than showing up only to find out your preferred room is booked solid for the next three weeks!
