Urban Escape Game: The Ultimate City Adventure

Looking for an unforgettable way to explore your city, bond with friends, or energize your team? Urban escape games are transforming city streets into playgrounds of adventure, mystery, and discovery. At City Game, we’re passionate about turning ordinary city exploration into extraordinary experiences — whether you’re a corporate team, a family, or a group of friends ready for fun.

What Is an Urban Escape Game?

An urban escape game is a real-world adventure that blends the excitement of escape rooms with the thrill of city exploration. Participants solve puzzles, tackle challenges, and uncover secrets — all while navigating iconic landmarks and hidden gems. Unlike traditional escape rooms, these games take place outdoors, using the city itself as your game board.

With the global escape room market projected to reach $31 billion by 2032 (growing at nearly 15% annually), urban escape games are at the forefront of this booming industry. They’re not just a trend — they’re a new way to experience cities, connect with people, and create lasting memories.
