Description:

As a prisoner deep under the Colosseum, you await your turn in battle. Spartacus was once imprisoned in the very cells you currently occupy, and he managed to escape. To help others follow his path to freedom, he left a series of clues and challenges showing the way but made them clever enough so the guards couldn’t follow his path. Studying the timing of the guard patrols, you realize you have a 100-minute window with which to make your escape or face the uncertainty of the arena against tested gladiators.

Get ready for a unique adventure like no other! You will work your way through multiple distinct rooms under the Colosseum, working together with your fellow prisoners – and maybe a little help from unsuspected allies – finding clues and solving puzzles in your effort to Escape the Colosseum! May the Gods of Rome have mercy on you and bless your path to escape!

Escape the Colosseum is one of the longest escape adventures in the world at up to 100 minutes. The attention to detail makes this a deeply immersive experience and you truly feel like you have been transported 2,000 years into the past. If the ancient Romans didn’t use a Master Lock or modern tool, you won’t find them in this period themed experience! There is no in-room Game Master and our hint delivery system is unique and incorporated seamlessly into the storyline.

Veni, Vidi, Vici

Fun, challenging. Good value for the price we paid. Good activity for friends. Would recommend at least 4 people to make the challenge doable as any fewer might make it hard to finish all the challenges on time.

It was an awesome experience! Cat was very helpful and made the adventure for an hour one to remember! I would go again as this was a group of women and we did escape! Couldn't have done it without each one of the ladies including our Cat! Thanks!

What a “Great Escape” room. We did the Coliseum room (90 min). The puzzles were fun and engaging.

    Your Nana was always a bit estranged from the family, but you tried your best to stay connected to her. I mean after all, she’s quite old, and she shouldn’t have to spend her days in solitude.

    Bubba and his gang are collectors of some very, VERY valuable items. They’re hidden in his pawn shop and y'all’re gonna swipe the loot from his mob. If y'all're after that 'big score,' that 'retirement job'...then this escape room in Chicago is it.
