THE BEST ESCAPE ROOMS FOR TEENAGE BIRTHDAY PARTIES & GROUPS

Birthdays are a once-a-year event that’s meant to be just for the birthday boy or girl, and an escape room for teens is an excellent option for a fun, inventive party. Even just the sound of it; an ‘Escape Room Teenage Birthday Party’ sounds cooler than just going bowling or hanging out with your friends. It’s an engaging activity that gives you a wonderful experience and memories.

How you plan an escape room party depends on two things:

1. Is the escape room game your main event or just one part of the day?
2. How many players do you have and how many are minors? Here at Quest Room, we require at least one adult in every game and we have strict player capacities for our rooms, regardless of location. If younger kids will also attend, we recommend choosing a family-friendly escape room rather than a scary escape room scenario.

If your group would go over the capacity for a room, you can either book the same room multiple times in a row so everyone gets the same experience and play in teams or you can book multiple escape games at around the same time and split into teams. Race in real-time to see who completes their room faster. If the escape room is going to be your main event, you can just rent the entire location for a time slot or two and play them all!

Why Book an Escape Room for a Birthday Party?

That’s easy: an escape room experience gives you everything you want from a good birthday party! Take a look at all the boxes it checks for your event:

• It’s the perfect kid-friendly activity for groups large and small.
• Work together to solve puzzles and accomplish tasks instead of sitting around!
• Socialize while also engaging your brain with fun and cooperative puzzles.
• Build deeper communication with your friends and family.
• It offers plenty of chances for the birthday person to shine! Ask what they are thinking, have them open the doors, place the final piece down, etc.
• It is a great way to immerse them in things they like.
• It is a screen-free activity, which is especially valuable seeing that U.S. teens spend an average of 4.8 hours per day on social media.
• You make and share lasting memories!
• We even take photos for you at the end of your game and we are happy to take photos of your event in the lobby or outside with signs if you want. It will be an adventure you’ll never forget!

The best escape rooms for teens depend on what they like:

If they like scary games:

Resurrection (Redondo Beach, LA): This comedy horror room—based on the “haunted house” concept—manages to be funny and frightening as you hunt for answers to find the serial killer who murdered your friend. You might find yourself in over your head when things start seeming more supernatural as your investigation goes on.

Project Minotaur (Hollywood, LA): Our most intense experience—this game is not for the faint of heart. If your teen wants something truly terrifying, this is the game for them. Your group of tourists stumble onto a military base and find yourselves as the next test group of Project Minotaur. Can you escape the base before the Minotaur finds you?

If they like fantasy games:

Warlocked (Redondo Beach, LA): You find yourselves in a cabin in the woods, tasked with helping a trapped Wizard free his heir and save their magic and their kingdom from the clutches of the evil warlock.

Will you be the first to hold it to the light or will you fall to the Pink Pyramids like countless explorers before you?

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum number of players that can participate in the game at the same time? It depends on the game. Most games have a capacity of 6; so it can hold 5 minors and 1 adult. Some games have a capacity of 8 or even 10—but one of those players must still be an adult.
