It’s June 1962, and you’re a prisoner at the United States Federal Penitentiary, Alcatraz Island, the most secure prison ever built. In this fun, light-hearted escape room, we’ll find out if you and your team can work together to take back your freedom...or if you’re destined to spend the rest of your days sweeping the cold, damp halls of …Alcatraz!
➡️ Before your event, we’ll split your total group up into escape teams of ~5 participants. Teams can be pre-assigned or randomized.
➡️ We’ll welcome everyone to Alcatraz at the start of the activity, give you your new inmate uniform (a fun virtual background), and then we’ll quickly whisk everyone off to their cells (breakout rooms). Teams will be greeted in their cell by one of our Wardens, who lead a short ice-breaker and then introduce the activity in detail. Teams will then have 50 minutes to complete their escape.
➡️ After the time’s up, we’ll close the breakout rooms and bring everyone back for a hilarious awards presentation where we’ll introduce the teams and announce the final results!
Escape Alcatraz is great for anyone interested in a casual, slightly competitive activity.

The activity we had was incredibly creative and a lot of fun! It was the perfect way to step away from our day-to-day work and recharge. Everything ran smoothly. Thanks to the hosts, the instructions were clear and easy to follow, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was an absolute blast!
The host team that ran the escape room were funny and engaging. I loved that they were all dressed up. The escape room games were interesting and challenging. My team isn't the best at participation and the hosts did a great job encouraging folks to join in and have fun. Thank you so much for a great team building event!! I will definitely recommend Escape Spy Island to others.
We had an absolutely amazing experience with this team! Everything was remarkable. Our host, Allyssa, was simply extraordinary—engaging, enthusiastic and funny. She made the entire experience so much more immersive and enjoyable. I genuinely didn’t expect it to be this interesting and entertaining, especially for an online format. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a fun and unique way to connect with friends/coworkers/family. <3

Yes! We can assign you Hosts that speak English, Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese, Bahasa Melayu/Indonesia, French, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Tagalog or Ukrainian! If you would like a non-English speaking host, you can request this at the checkout page. However, please do note that all of our game content is currently only available in English and Spanish.
Our games are available for booking 24 hours a day / 7 days a week! While we have never turned a client down due to lack of availability, we do kindly ask that groups up to 30 participants give us at least 2 days’ notice, and groups of greater than 30 participants give us at least 1 weeks’ notice (especially during the month of December).
The largest group we’ve ever hosted was 1,250 participants! If your group falls under that, then it will be no problem for us to host you. If your group is larger than that, reach out to us over phone, chat or email. We should be able to support you, but there may be some technical limitations with the mainstream videoconferencing software that we’ll need to work around. Don’t worry, we’re experts at this stuff so you don’t have to be!
For all of our Hosted Games, you can choose to pay either 100% up-front or make a 30% deposit. If you choose to make the 30% deposit, we will issue you an invoice to pay the remaining balance after the game is completed. Have additional participants joining last minute? No worries! We will add those participants to the final invoice.
For all of our On-Demand Games, we accept 100% payment up-front.
If MORE participants turn up than expected: You can add as many participants as you’d like, even at the last minute! If you can give us a heads up at least an hour or two before the activity starts, then we’ll also be able to add more Hosts to cater to your larger group. We have over 100 Hosts on staff, so this is no problem for us!
If LESS participants turn up than expected: As long as you let us know at least 72 hours before your activity how many participants you’ll be expecting, we’ll be happy to refund you the deposit difference if that number is lower than what you originally expected! However, within 72 hours we will lock in the minimum number of participants as we also need to schedule our Hosts and can’t cancel on them at the last minute.

We are part game studio, part team building company. We’re the company you call when your team wants to have fun together for an hour, and it needs to be done virtually. There it is, that’s our company in two sentences :)
Hosted Games are run by our Hosts aka REAL PEOPLE who will join your game virtually (ie. on Zoom, Google Meet, etc.)! If you’re playing a Game Show or one of our Mini-Game Challenges, they’ll be the Host & Co-Host of the game. If you’re playing one of our escape rooms, they’ll either be a slightly corrupt Warden, a Yeoman’s Warder, a Spy, an Elf…you get the idea. These Hosts, who are highly experienced team building extraordinaires and hype men/women, are part of the experience of each game we make and are there to guide your team and make sure they have an incredible experience in the time you’re with us.
Our On-Demand Games do not have a Host. These games will require you to run them yourself (of course, with comprehensive instructions provided on how to do so!) via the game code that we’ll provide to you upon checkout. But don’t worry, our Live Chat is monitored by our team 24x7 in case you have any questions or issues with your game! Our On-Demand Games are priced lower than their equivalent Hosted Game to give us something to offer everyone at different price points :D
Actually, yes we do. We operate our business with one simple philosophy - we will be able to run games for clients at any time, any day, and in any timezone that they want, period. This means that no matter how many participants you have or how obscure your timezone is, we will always accept your reservation!
Because of that, we have over 100 Hosts on staff, and would you believe that we even employ a team whose sole job is to find new people that we think would make amazing Hosts and train them to facilitate as many of the different games that we have as possible!

Please feel free to call us at +1 415 800 3157 or chat with us via the chat icon on the bottom right corner of this webpage. Those lines of communication will get you directly in touch with someone that can help! We will entertain cold callers, but beware that we may also try to pitch you a virtual team building activity when you call :D
