Kids and Escape Rooms

Do you have kids? Have you been hearing about escape rooms but haven't had a chance to try them because you have kids at home? Or maybe it's your kids that have been nagging you to bring them to an escape room?  Either way, you're in luck! 

All of our escape games are family friendly, meaning you can bring your kids with you to play.  We recommend kids ages 12 and up, but we have had plenty of younger kids play with their families. We've had a few 9 and 10 year olds finding clues quicker than their parents and solving puzzles that seem to stump the others. We've had some 4 year olds who don't contribute as much to the puzzle solving but they certainly share in the escape room excitement with their families. Teens, especially, have an absolute blast. While adults look for reasons why a solution to a puzzle won't work, kids are busy listing all the ways it can. It is truly remarkable how effective a good imagination can be for solving an escape room!

An escape room is a great way to disconnect from your phones, strengthen your communication, and make new memories as a family. We've had families come through who have done many escape rooms together, and look forward to the next one.
​

All of our escape games are private, so you have the whole room for your family. Our themes, The Speakeasy and The Diner, are fun, light, and not at all scary. Seldom do you come across an escape room that doesn't involve a murder, a haunting, evil agencies, kidnapping etc. Rest assured, there is nothing to be scared of at Quicksand Escape Games.

If you choose to have a night out without the kids, our escape rooms are perfect for a fun date night. You'll enjoy the hour off from the kids and get lost in the 1920s trying to escape the mob boss or the 1950s trying to rob the local diner. Even better, Pacific Beach has countless restaurants, cafes, and bars in the neighborhood within walking distance for a post-game meal or drink.

If you choose to bring your kids with you and you can allow them to have their own fun for a few hours. G3kids, a gymnastics and athletic gym for kids, is just one block away from us, at 934 Garnet Ave. They offer a special "Parent's Night Off"​ every Friday night from 6:00-10:00pm where you can drop your kids off at their open gym and the instructors provide structured games, movies, and pizza. Pick them up after your own game and dinner, and everyone has fun!

Kids or not, our escape rooms are a lot of fun. Hopefully we'll see you soon!
