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.

Our work social virtual escape room was so much fun! The puzzles were clever, the experience was engaging, and our host Anita was amazing and supportive. It was the perfect team bonding activity, and we’re already excited to do it again! Highly recommend!
Runaway Games did a great job hosting the Jeoparty event and going above and beyond. Even with some last minute adjustments as our team had a few people no-show, they still brought the energy and put on a very interactive and engaging event to celebrate the holiday season!
Fantastic Team-Building Experience! Escape Alcatraz was a brilliant way to bring our team together. The puzzles were fun and challenging, and the whole experience was immersive and well-organized. It really encouraged teamwork and communication, and we had a great time from start to finish. Highly recommended for any group looking for a fun and effective bonding activity!

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.
