An escape room is a real-life adventure game where your group is locked in a themed room and must use teamwork, clues, and puzzle-solving skills to escape within 60 minutes. Amarillo Escape and Mystery has five private escape rooms in Amarillo TX, each with a unique story and challenge.

The room is virtually locked — there is a final clue to "escape." If any participant opens the door before solving all the locks, the game and remaining time are forfeited. Amarillo city regulations require us to keep it virtual, but the experience is just as thrilling.

Escape Rooms: Escape rooms are 60 minutes of game time. Plan to arrive 10-15 minutes early for check-in, and allow about 15 minutes after for a debrief and photos. Total visit is roughly 90 minutes. Mystery dinners last approximately 2.5 to 3 hours, with doors opening at 6pm and dinner served at 7pm.

Absolutely — and most people want to once their brain gets warmed up. You can book multiple rooms in the same visit and spend a few hours with us. We love our guests and welcome you to stay and play.

Escape Rooms: No, our escape rooms are 100% private — once your group books a room, no one else can book it. Just bring your group and we can add people at the door.

Escape Room: For escape rooms, nothing — we provide everything you need. Just bring your team and an open mind. For mystery dinners, costumes are encouraged but not required. Bring your booking confirmation printed or on your phone for check-in.

Amarillo Escape and Mystery is one of the most unique birthday party venues in Amarillo TX. We offer private escape rooms, mystery dinners, and AR games for birthday groups of all ages.

A few things to keep in mind when booking: We do not have a dedicated private party room, so we recommend only booking for guests you are confident will show up. Since all sales are non-refundable, book conservatively — you can always add players at the door, but we cannot refund no-shows. If you'd like to bring a small cake and punch to celebrate, we are happy to accommodate that.

We have been serving the Panhandle community since October 2015, making us Amarillo's oldest escape room. When you book with us you are supporting a local Amarillo family business, not a corporate chain.

Every escape room and mystery dinner at Amarillo Escape and Mystery is written and designed in house. Even when we draw inspiration from a concept or theme, we create our own unique storylines, puzzles, and experiences from scratch. You will not find our games anywhere else. And fair warning — Google cannot help you in our rooms. The answers are not online. Your only way out is your team's brainpower.

Escape rooms are one of the best unplugged experiences you can have. For 60 minutes your group puts down the phones, steps away from screens, and works together using nothing but your eyes, your hands, and your minds. No apps, no scrolling, no distractions — just real human connection and problem solving. It is a rare and refreshing break from technology that the whole group will talk about long after they leave.

We love celebrating our guests and sharing the fun on Facebook and Instagram! We may post photos or videos of your group during or after your experience on our social media pages. If you would prefer not to be photographed or posted online please let us know before your game begins and we will absolutely respect your wishes. We also love when guests tag us in their own posts — find us on Facebook and Instagram at Amarillo Escape and Mystery. And if you had a great time, we would love a Google review. Reviews help our small local business more than you know.
