About Breakout Games

Breakout Games escape rooms offer an opportunity to unplug from the fast-paced, digital landscape to connect with people in real time. Through the detailed clues, engaging story and team focus, players utilize critical thinking, grow in creative processing and create real connections with the people around them.

A unique way to escape ordinary team building, Breakout Games is great for corporate teams, schools, nonprofits and more.

Team building has a bad rap. We get it—these experiences usually come with a white board and cheesy role-playing. But that’s not our version. We offer something more than your average trust fall, where office mates, classmates, and teammates can breakout with a real-life adventure where everyone has a part to play.

All you need is a willingness to put your heads together and try something new. We supply the props, a game master, 60 minutes of challenging fun, and after game exercises that extend the experience beyond the room.

Good for 4-10 players per room, but we can accommodate larger groups of 100-200 depending on the location.

Founded in 2014, Breakout Games is a leader in the growing escape-room industry, offering live-action entertainment at 44 locations in 28 states. Breakout Games headquarters is located in Lexington, Kentucky.
