We did the Quest for Freedom challenge with our three children (13, 11 and 9) after visiting Independence National Historical Park. It was the perfect way to end the day. Not to challenging for the kids and not too easy for the adults. Everyone had fun. Thank you!

Description:

It is October 26th, 1776 and Philadelphia is alive with excitement...

The American Revolution has ignited the colonial town into a fervor. Crowds are pouring into the streets singing songs and firing guns, nervously awaiting the invading British from across the sea. Benjamin Franklin has just been elected as ambassador to France and he has a monumental task ahead of him - convince France to join the colonies in war and secure a 10 million dollar loan from the French government. The only tools at Mr. Franklin’s disposal are his skill with the written word and your help...

Mr. Franklin has just raced away to board the final ship to France before the British naval blockade arrives. As Mr. Franklin’s invaluable assistants and fellow rebels, he has entrusted a critical task to you: search through his study and secret print studio to find the Seven American Reasons. These Seven Reasons inspired him to write the document that will convince France to give us 10 million dollars and join the fight! Quickly locate the Seven Reasons and print the document that Mr. Franklin needs for his journey. The future of the rebellion and American independence is in your hands! Do you have what it takes to complete your Quest for Freedom?

Reviews of escape game "A Quest for Freedom"

My favorite escape room in Philadelphia. This escape room cleverly uses a 150+ year old building to create the most immersive ambiance I've played in a long time. With over 50 games under my belt, this room ranks up near the top of my list because the story-driven puzzles that lead to a satisfying "wow-moment" ending. The decor took my breath away. There was a moment where I just wanted to stop playing the game and just examine the antiques.

If you're a scenery snob, this game is for you. It's perfect for group of small enthusiasts, or a larger group of newer players. Either way, with unlimited hints, and thoughtful game mastering from Brooks where he really gives anything away, but allows you to enjoy those Ah-Ha moments by nudging you in the right direction, this room has such great flow, I will never forget it. We will be talking about for days, months, years.

Highly recommended for corporate team building because of the HR-friendly content, unlike some of the other escape rooms in the area that are rate R (or worse) and wouldn't be appropriate for work-related events.

We went with an 8-year old (mature, patient & smart!) and had a really great time! We did the Freedom Quest room, and ended up just the 3 of us. The clues were the right level of challenging for the grown ups, and our little loved the effects of doors being opened and clues revealed. The hints were useful without feeling like you were cheating, and we solved it with seconds left. Overall a great experience. Highly recommend!

A Quest for Freedom is a really well thought out escape room right in historic Old City Philadelphia. Went with a large group of friends of varying escape room experiences, and we all had a blast. Looking forward to trying out the other room. Would highly recommend!
