1. Escape Hogwarts
Yes, you read that right! You’ll start this adventure as a first-year student, and have to navigate your way around Hogwarts.
The Hogwarts Digital Escape Room is filled with challenges, trivia, and puzzles that you can either solve as an individual or put together an online team to beat the clock.
Beware of those dementors!
2. The Bank Heist
Always thought you might make a good bank robber? Expedition Escape’s “Bank Heist” escape room will put you in the shoes of a real-life bank robber.
Beware, you’ll need a calculator for this one, as you’ll find yourself playing the part of a safecracker!
3. Hunting Monsters
We know you fancy yourself a Van Helsing, so put your skills to the test with International Monster Hunter!
This virtual escape room is an online adventure that will challenge you to answer trivia questions and solve puzzles to find the world’s most mysterious creatures, like the Chupacabra and Nessy (the Loch Ness Monster!).
Your hunt will take you all around the world from your Zoom screen, and is hosted by a brave leader who helps you keep you and your crew alive!

We all remember that Jennifer Connelly movie from when we were kids, so here’s your chance to prove you have what it takes to escape in The Minotaur’s Labyrinth Escape Room.
This virtual escape room draws inspiration from Greek mythology and is both challenging and educational. Crack the codes and solve the riddles to escape the labyrinth.
If a labyrinth seems too daunting, you can escape the attic only like on bigbrainescape.com. But don’t be fooled, this game is challenging too.
5. The Grimm Escape
Thinking of the Brothers Grimm, this virtual escape room is located in an enchanted forest, which you get to through Zoom.
Your goal? To beat the witch’s curse by solving puzzles and emerging victorious!
You’ll need to book in advance for this escape room game though.
