CAN YOU DO AN ESCAPE ROOM WITH ONLY TWO PLAYERS?

We are often asked if it’s possible to book a two-person escape room. The good news is that at Quest Room, every single one of our games is designed to be completed by as few as two people—especially if you are okay with asking for help! (That’s why we offer unlimited hints!) And taking on one of our awesome experiences as a two-person team is a fun way to dial up the challenge.

An exciting date night, an outing for two best friends, parent/child bonding time, you name it—we can help you plan escape rooms for two people so that you have the time of your life. And with the right escape experience, you will make memories that you and a special friend can share forever!

Our advice is to look at all of the available options online and consider which themes you and your escape partner find most interesting. Check out the difficulty rating for each, and gauge which type of experience you are looking for.

Our themes range from easy to challenging and all of our escape games provide a great experience for two-player teams. Should you find yourself struggling to keep up with the time limit and puzzles, the game master is there to help you out along the way!

The Pros of Playing an Escape Room with Only Two People

Why take on an escape game with only two people? There are actually quite a few benefits that come with an escape room for two players—from a greater sense of immersion in the theme to a heightened sense of accomplishment when you find the way out!

You’ll Be Completely Immersed in the Action

With only two people, you’ll have to really focus on puzzles and work together to get out successfully. It will put your problem-solving skills to the test.

However, there may be a benefit to having fewer voices in the space. With no one else in the way, you can better focus on the puzzles and enjoy the game's atmosphere. Plus, you’ll get the added bonus of having each other’s undivided attention to get more clues and advice without any distractions.

You’ll Have More Space to Work Out the Puzzles

Another benefit of an escape room for two people is the enhanced ability to move around and see everything without obstacles. You get the full lay of the land and won’t need to worry about anything being moved or anyone redoing a puzzle without you noticing, which can sometimes happen with larger groups.

Our spacious and well-lit rooms allow you to work together and ensure that the puzzles are solved efficiently. While you solve puzzles, your partner can be looking for another clue or starting on something completely new.

Communication Is Easier

It is easy to ensure you are on the same page with only two of you in the room. In many non-linear games, you miss things that are vital to solving the puzzle if you split up—especially if there are multiple people focused on different tasks.

You can communicate more easily and navigate the puzzles more quickly with just the two of you in the space. You can also take breaks to come back together and discuss strategy. This helps you progress in a more organized manner.

Two People Equals Greater Bonding

The adrenaline rush and overcoming challenges together can bring you closer. Many couples choose our escape room games as a date night activity for that reason and some even choose an escape room as the ideal place to pop the question! 

Escape rooms are also great for facilitating bonding in non-romantic duos such as parent-and-child teams, siblings, cousins, friends, and work colleagues. There’s nothing like working together to escape the room for bringing you closer than ever before!

Two-Person Escape Room Experiences at Quest Room

Every single one of our games can be completed by two people. And while different rooms offer different scenarios and lengths, each is possible to complete with the help of our unlimited hints.

If you want to book a two-person experience, our best escape rooms are Kablam and Polar Station—these are smaller games that offer plenty of fun without the need to traverse large spaces or multiple locations.

If it is for a date night, you may be interested in our games Resurrection or Heretics for a haunted house-styled adventure that pulls you into the scary movie yourselves!

No matter which escape room you pick, you can rest assured that you and your escape partner will enjoy an exciting adventure together.
