About
Encryption Escape sits at the top of the Savannah escape room market by rating — a 4.8 across 610 reviews is the kind of consistency that comes from genuinely good room design, reliable staffing, and experiences that match their descriptions. If your family is doing one escape room in Savannah, this is the one to book.
The Congress Street location puts it in the heart of Savannah's Historic District, which adds a contextual layer: there's something atmospheric about doing an immersive puzzle experience in a city where the history and mystery are woven into the actual architecture around you. The walk to and from dinner becomes part of the experience.
For families with older kids (10+), escape rooms are one of the rare activities that create genuine collaborative pressure between parents and children without anyone feeling condescended to. The puzzles don't care how old you are — a 12-year-old who spots a pattern the adults missed is a hero, full stop. That dynamic creates memories.
Room selection matters for families. Encryption Escape runs multiple rooms with different themes and difficulty levels. For a family with tweens, aim for medium difficulty — challenging enough to feel satisfying but accessible enough that younger members of the group stay engaged throughout. Check the website's room descriptions before booking.
Budget: $20-30 per person, $80-120 for a family of 4. Private booking (just your group) is the way to go — the experience is better when you're not navigating group dynamics with strangers. Most escape room venues allow this at a comparable price to individual ticket bookings.
