Escape rooms are a fun and challenging way for families to spend time together indoors. Whether you’re working as a team to solve a mystery or racing the clock to unlock a final clue, these interactive experiences are great for older kids, teens, and adults who love puzzles and adventure.
You can now find escape rooms in several communities across the Okanagan, including Kelowna, Penticton, Vernon, and Salmon Arm. Some offer traditional escape rooms with themed stories, while others include virtual reality and gaming lounges for a tech-forward twist.
