Awesome Christmas Gift Ideas for Escape Room Fans (2026)

5 Great Escape Room Gifts For 2026

1. The Escape Game Gift Cards 🔐

Prices range from $37.99-49.99

Perhaps the best gift to give an escape room lover is a ticket to play The Escape Game! These immersive experiences involve problem-solving, teamwork, adventure, and an hour of guaranteed fun. Players search for clues, crack codes, and solve puzzles to complete their missions!

To gift someone an experience at The Escape Game, you can purchase a single-player gift card to put under the tree. These gift cards are valid for one person to play The Escape Game in person at one of our over 50 locations across the country. The best part about these gift cards is that they never expire!

Individuals can book an escape room game with their gift card online, over the phone, and in-person at a The Escape Game location.

Here are some of the most popular rooms that The Escape Game fans in your life can play:

Prison Break – Wrongfully accused of a crime and sentenced to life without parole, players must find their way out of their cells and escape the infamously cruel warden.

The Heist – A recently stolen masterpiece is presumed hidden within the office of a museum’s egotistical curator, Vincent Hahn. With the help of an intelligence agent on the outside, players must recover the painting and slip away before Hahn returns.

The Depths – Mysterious research has recently surfaced from a long-abandoned underwater lab. Can you make your way to the lab, decode the research, and uncover what kind of experiments were happening under there?

2. Virtual Escape Room 🧑‍💻

Sometimes, not everyone can be together on the holidays. But playing a virtual escape room can bridge the gap! It can be played over Zoom.

Remote Adventures are physical escape rooms from The Escape Game that are played over Zoom. A Game Guide in the actual escape room acts as the team’s eyes, ears, hands, and feet. You do the brainwork, and your Game Guide does the legwork! The entire experience is led by a Host who gives the group clues and instructions as needed.

3. Unlocked 🔓

$10 per player

If the holidays are a bit too frosty to go outside, an escape room thrill can come inside with Unlocked. This series of at-home online mystery games lets players crack codes, uncover clues, and solve puzzles through a completely online dashboard.

Unlike a regular escape room game, Unlocked allows players to start and stop the game whenever they choose. The game saves your progress and can be restarted wherever you left off. The experience isn’t hosted, so you can sleuth on your time!

If you know someone who dreams of being handed an old-school spy dossier and sent out on a mission, Unlocked is one of the best gift ideas out there!

As a gift, you’ll receive a folder in the mail that includes mission instructions, a puzzle, and an activation code. You can then use this activation code to continue your Unlocked game online! If you’d like to get a physical folder in the mail, make sure to purchase the option titled “Physical Activation Code.”

If you’d like to skip the envelope, you can also just purchase and receive a digital code online.

4. Great Big Game Game Show

Imagine being picked as a contestant on your favorite game show. The host calls your name—your face glows from the studio lights. Through the theme music, you hear the opposing team trash-talking across the stage. THAT'S Great Big Game Show.

Instead of watching from your couch, YOU'RE on stage, competing in mini-games that test everything from speed to strategy. There's a live host, lights, and music. When you slam the buzzer and nail the answer, you'll feel like a game show legend.

Book live or purchase a gift card to redeem later!

5. Escape From Iron Gate

Game Price: $32.99 or discounted with Amazon Prime

This board game is like an escape room in a box, and the name says it all! Escape From Iron Gate challenges players to break out of jail by completing puzzles, acting, drawing, and trading game pieces.

As few as three or as many as eight people can play Escape From Iron Gate, making this an excellent party game!

And because this is a physical board game, it can be replayed over and over. So make room on that shelf of board games and jigsaw puzzle boxes!

Final Thoughts

Between our escape rooms, Remote Adventures, board games, puzzle games, and party experiences, there’s something for every escape room fan. When making your Christmas gift list and checking it twice, be sure to include one of our escape room-related games!
