To our players:

The Monterey County Health Department has ordered another shutdown of certain businesses for the next three weeks. This took affect on July 8, 2020. We are part of that shutdown and anticipate being closed for the next three weeks. If it is shorter, you’ll find the latest announcement here and on our social media sites.

If you’d like to play some games at home you can visit our online store.   Go to escaperoom831.com/store and you can order escape games to play at home. They are affordable and we can meet you at the store to pick them up, or if you live close enough, we’ll bring them by.  We, of course, will wear a mask and maintain social distancing principles while dropping them off.

If you’d like to continue to support a local, family-owned business in the meantime, please consider purchasing a gift certificate.  They are available on our website – https://escaperoom831.com/escape-room-gift-certificates/ Gift certificates don’t expire and can be used at anytime for a gift or future booking. 

Lastly – you can take advantage of some of the great in-home games from our friends at The Escape Game.  If you click here  and order either of these games you’ll help keep games alive during this crazy time.  Oh…and the games are super fun.

Do You Have What It Takes to Escape Before Time Runs Out?

Imagine being closed in a room with a half a dozen other people and you’re given just one hour to figure out — through clues, codes and suggestions scattered throughout the room — to solve a murder.

Change the scenario to a bank heist, a murder mystery, a jewel caper, a prison, pirate ship, a space station, and much more, and you have one of the hottest trends in interactive or immersive entertainment — Escape Rooms. They’re based on escape-the-room video and online games, as if the classic board game “Clue” became a live-action game you play with others in real locations.

And now Monterey has its own version —  Exodus Escape Room on Cannery Row and Escape Room 831 on Lighthouse Avenue — founded by entrepreneurs Christina and Barrie Riddoch of Monterey.

Seven Mysteries to Solve … 60 minutes.

Alice's Dream

You are invited to an insanely important event…
Immerse yourself in the magical world of books about Alice.  You’ve come to a hotel located in the former house of Lewis Carroll, author of Alice’s many adventures.  It’s late.  You’re tired.  Make sure to catch the tail of the white rabbit and think about how you’ll get out once you climb into the hole.
