What is escape.exe?
An escape room studio in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, in the Lehigh Valley. Each room plays like an action, adventure or suspense film with a clock running: your team searches, solves puzzles and makes choices. Every room is custom built, with more than one path and more than one outcome. Three rooms, four experiences, one connected story, with an A.I. companion in every room. Players here are called test subjects.
It depends on the room. Neon Tokyo takes 2–6 players, Site:117 takes 2–8, and Eclipse takes 2–6. You will also see each room's limit while you reserve. For a larger group, ask about a team session.
The minimum age is 8, with no exceptions. The rooms are designed for adult minds, so children through age 15 need an adult chaperone aged 18 or older. Every player signs a waiver. A parent or legal guardian signs for players aged 8–17.
Yes. Parties, engagements, gender reveals and other special occasions are welcome. Tell us the occasion when you book, or call us and we will help plan it.
Yes. Team sessions are built around your group, from one to dozens, and run 60–90 minutes. We also offer team training. Book online, or call us to plan yours.
3844 Linden Street, Bethlehem, PA 18020. Across from Miller Heights Medical Associates. On-site parking is available in front. Carpooling is recommended.
By appointment only. Friday, Saturday and Sunday can be booked online at any time, and Monday to Friday evenings from 4:45pm to 10pm. Monday to Friday from 11am to 4pm is kept for corporate events and special occasions, ideally arranged at least 24 hours ahead.
