One of the best things about escape games is that they are fun for everyone, no matter how old you are. Breakout rooms are the perfect way to gather the whole family together for an experience that everyone will enjoy. Any of our escape rooms can be played by children and teens of any age. But if you are deciding between escape room themes to play with your family, we have some suggestions for the rooms teens like the best.
The Kidnapping
An escape room classic. The Kidnapping begins with you and your fellow captives waking up handcuffed and blindfolded in a strange room. With nothing but collective brainpower, hidden clues and 60 minutes on your side, you have to free yourselves before the kidnapper returns.
This is one of our most popular rooms at Breakout (for people of all ages). And it’s just the right amount of creepy and suspenseful without being scary. See if the Kidnapping is at your location here.
Kidnapping 2: Afraid of the Dark
Our Kidnapping escape room is so popular that we made a sequel! In this room, you've been kidnapped again. But this time, you're trapped in total darkness. You must use senses other than sight to solve the beginning of the room. See if Kidnapping 2 is at your location here.
Runaway Train
In this room, you must free the passengers and escape a runaway train loaded with explosives before it arrives at Central Station. It's a lot like the movie Speed!
This room is action-packed and will have your adrenaline racing as you work to stop the train. It also has some complex problems that teenagers can tackle more easily than younger kids. See if Runaway Train is at your location here.
Bomb Squad
In this escape room, you get to stop a bomb! What could be more fun?
There’s a deadly bomb hidden in the heart of Breakout City and the evil Syndicate is to blame. Thankfully, you’ve been working deep undercover for months to gain their trust and gather intel on their next attack. Now you — a member of an elite bomb squad — are the city’s only hope. You have 60 minutes to find the bomb and disarm it before the city is destroyed. See if Bomb Squad is at your location here.
Final Tips
Escape rooms aren’t just a fun way to spend an hour. They also teach valuable lessons and teamwork skills. The opportunity for both fun and learning makes breakout games a great option for groups of teenage friends, but also for sports teams, school groups, and youth groups.
Plus, Breakout is a great place to celebrate birthdays. Forget a boring birthday party, and plan a fun adventure for your teen. Read our tips on how to throw an awesome escape room birthday party here.
