Puzzle Break is an escape room company headquartered in Seattle, Washington co-founded by Nate Martin and Lindsay Morse. It is the first American-based escape room company.

History

Puzzle Break's first escape room, Escape from Studio D, opened in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle, Washington in August 2013. In May 2014, operations expanded to San Francisco, California with the release of its second room, The Grimm Escape. Puzzle Break was named one of Seattle Magazine's Hidden Gems in June 2014. In November 2014, Escape from Studio D was closed to make way for Puzzle Break's next project: Escape from Twenty Thousand Leagues. Escape the Midnight Carnival followed in March 2016. The Eventide Departure and Escape the Lost Temple were added in 2017.

Rooms

Puzzle Break participants are locked in a room for one hour and must work together to find hidden clues, solve puzzles, and escape the room. Current locations include Seattle, Washington, Syosset, New York, and Newton, Massachusetts. Most rooms are designed for 6-12 players and the entire experience is approximately 90 minutes. The escape rate for all rooms fluctuates between 15-20%. Puzzle Break also offers off-site escape games where they travel to customers' locations.
