Need fun things to do indoors? Escape Room Sarasota has your answer. Closest escape room to Siesta Key beach, Escape Room Sarasota is a family-owned escape room, hand-built and high-tech. We obsess, from the coding, puzzles and props to the dumb little story details we probably spent too long on. Whether you're visiting the beach or you're a local hunting for a different kind of night out, we've got rooms for every crew. Tiki Trouble is our family-friendly favorite, and Once Upon a Meme is a one-of-a-kind pop-culture mashup played in three chapters, so the fun keeps going with fresh timed minigames, riddles and unique puzzles each time you play. We have an interactive haunt escape room coming late Summer and a Murder Mystery, yet to come.
