“The Santa Experience” – An 80s Escape Room
It’s the most radical time of the year!
Escape The 1980s presents The Santa Experience — a 1980s escape room game with a very special twist.
You’ll have 60 minutes to make your way through a four-room 80’s adventure with one goal: To “get back to the future”.
Do the right thing and beckon a real, live, 1980s Santa who will “ho ho ho” his way into your game with something you need. At the end of your experience, your team will get the ULTIMATE Facebook token: An electronic photo of your group with our 80’s Santa, uploaded to Facebook. Let the “likes” begin.
FREE Photo With Santa – A FREE electronic photo of your group WITH SANTA.
There will be singing – We can’t tell you the details, but ONLY in this game, at least one person in your group will sing – and they’re going to want to.
In-Game Surprises – Do the right thing and you’ll get surprises.
And more – It’s the exact same game as Escape The 1980s — but with a little more HO.
Debuting for the first time since 2014, The Santa Experience received rave press and reviews. Tickets sell out fast. Santa Experience tickets are available in a limited number of slots. Tickets are made first available to those on our waiting list.

At the end of your experience, your team will get the ULTIMATE Facebook token: An electronic photo of your group with our 80’s Santa, uploaded to Facebook. Let the “likes” begin.
FREE Photo With Santa – A FREE electronic photo of your group WITH SANTA.
There will be singing – We can’t tell you the details, but ONLY in this game, at least one person in your group will sing – and they’re going to want to.
In-Game Surprises – Do the right thing and you’ll get surprises.
And more – It’s the exact same game as Escape The 1980s — but with a little more HO.
