Today was my second visit which was literally a last minute booking (22 minutes) prior to game time. The Magician's workshop was awesome! It's a lockless room with the exception of one lock. I'm definitely a fan of these lockless rooms! By reading the clues/hints you "unlock" items or "secrets" to perform the next magic trick. The premise is to find the magician's notebook and the secret behind his disappearance. It was just my sister and me. Although we didn't escape, we truly enjoyed the room and it was so much fun performing (solving) the magic tricks. It's truly an interactive room and was cohesive, creative and well done. Gant, was our game master was great and more than happy to explain what our remaining tricks were to reveal. Looking back, my sister and I had a few oversights which ate our time and we would have otherwise been able to complete the room. By the time I started to figured out part of the few last magic tricks our time ended. The escape room owner, traveled to Greece and did a lockless room abroad which inspired him to devise this room himself ,which he did an excellent job! You get unlimited hints! When we left someone was having a birthday party which they set up a small table in the lobby area. I'm not sure what that entails, although the space is small for that, I think it's a fun idea! The owner also owns Plix Plex arcade across the street which are games of 16 physical challenges. It isn't open yet, but will be soon. read more

See all

Magic workshop was amazing it was fun and easy to do with the story we escaped with 2 seconds left and it was are first escape room we've done this is really a hidden gem I would go back to it read more

Escapism Games - Escape Games Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Escapism is a great place to do an escape room! Hard to believe it's the only one on the oceanfront, so it's perfect if you're visiting the area and staying nearby (though we are locals). Logan the owner is very passionate about escape rooms (among other things) and was incredibly nice. We did the jail break room and it was pretty challenging for my wife and I without being frustrating. Some of the puzzles stumped us for a bit, but we were still able to escape! If you love escape rooms I definitely recommend checking this place out. My only word of caution is that, at least for jail break, if no one in your group has EVER done an escape room, it's gonna be hard. I would say this is geared slightly more toward people who are looking for a good head-scratcher and have at least some experience with how to think through a room. read more

i loved ittt both are so gooood!!!!! 100% worth every penny prison one is so fun and really tricky i loved the other one too so cool read more

My friends and I did the jail house room. I forgot the name of it. The room was well thought out. The price was very reasonable. Our game master was super nice and helpful. Overall, great experience. read more

We did Escape The 80's and then came back and did Prison Break. Both rooms were well designed and challenging enough to make you feel accomplished but not so much that you wanted to give up. We would rate Escape the 80's a 2.5/ 5 for difficulty. We would rate Prison Break 3.5/5 for difficulty. There were only two of us, we did fine, and had a lot of fun. We would suggest a max of four for both rooms even though you can go up to eight. Our game master was amazing! She was so friendly and helpful. 10/10 would recommend! The only thing missing was the after photo with the "I escaped" or similar sign. It would be cool to see other groups that made it read more

This escape room was excellent. Our host--I can't remember his name--was so adorable and professional. We visited on 25 June 2024. I would recommend everyone try it and enjoy the experience like we did. You won't regret it; it's so fun! read more

Great experience. We did the 80s room. My family and I enjoyed and were able to escape. Definitely challenging.

My adult kids convinced me to try escape rooms this year. This was the fourth one we did together. We did Escape the 80s and had a lot of fun. I like how the room allowed us to work together on certain puzzles and independently work through others so we could beat the clock. It seemed like of the four places we did this year, Escapism had the most puzzles and kept things challenging and interesting. I would definitely recommend Escapism of VB to anyone interested in escape rooms. read more

This was such a fun experience! My boyfriend's family and I did the Prison Break room and we had such a great time! It's so clear that so much love and effort went into building this escape room and the owner clearly loves what he does. If you are looking for a fun way to kill an hour while on vacation or just while exploring Virginia Beach, definitely check it out! read more

We were just about 90 seconds from solving it but alas...Nya was our host and she was super friendly and reassuring. We did get two small clues but we were pretty determined to do it ourselves. Great story and room decor. The 80s theme was fun. read more

Disappointing! We could not get out of the first room of a series of four in the story. Turns out it had not been set up correctly and one of the essential clues was missing. Our experience ended in tears with our 9-year-old sobbing uncontrollably, because we had lost. We asked for more time or a discount on a future visit, but Nia said, "No." What should have been a fun, albeit expensive, family activity, ruined our day. Cost was $203 plus $20 for parking for our family of five. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND. read more

So much fun! Unlimited clues and interesting puzzles tailored to the 80s kid in you. Niyah was so helpful and her energy was contagious. 100% recommend! read more

My family and I did both rooms and enjoyed them equally. We did the prison break first and even though half our group was new to the concept of an escape room they enjoyed themselves so much we had to go back for the 80's room the next day. We felt so energized and full of adrenaline, the brain buzz you get from figuring out the mini-puzzles is the best! Logan masterfully designed and built two wonderful rooms that are immersive and engaging but not overly cluttered with red herrings as some escape rooms can be. Logan is super kind and friendly and does a great job of prepping you for and facilitating the game play. Overall, you'll have the best time and it was 100% worth the money spent! It's also so conveniently located, loved that we could walk there from our hotel on the boardwalk. We will be back next summer for a new room hopefully! read more

Decent escape room. Wasn't actually a room though, could hear the game master talk to people walking in during game. Good clues and was fun. Easy for convenience if on board walk area. read more

Was a rainy day at the beach and this was a fun escape! We had 2 groups, so one did the back to the 80s and the other group did the prison escape. Great puzzles especially loved the old school decor in the 80's room. read more

Loved the rooms here. They are limited to two but the do a lot with what space they are given. The 80's room is a must if this is your first time going there. read more
