Suitable for ages 8 and up, The Tiara Society is one of the more kid-friendly escape rooms in Singapore. However, Potterheads of all ages will enjoy this escape game as, you guessed it, everything is centred around a Harry Potter theme.

6. The Escape Artist


Affordable roving escape rooms


You’ll probably recognise The Escape Artist as one of the OG escape rooms that first introduced the concept to Singapore. However, they’ve since shuttered in July 2026, with the closing of Harbourfront Centre.

But, they’ve not called it quits just yet, as they’ve pivoted to providing their escape room expertise offsite. This means you’ll be able to engage them to host escape room games at various spots around Singapore, such as Battle Box in Fort Canning, VivoCity, Haw Par Villa, and even at tourist attractions like River Wonders and the Singapore Oceanarium.

Their games will draw inspiration from these locations. For instance, their Code of Silence game is a wartime escape game which tasks players with sending a secret code before the fall of Singapore. They can also set up these games at pretty much any indoor venue that’s big enough, so they can provide much flexibility if you’re planning something for your colleagues.

Price: From $340/2 pax, with an additional $20/extra pax

7. Lockdown SG

All of their rooms are priced at $24 across the board on weekdays, and since most of them are kid-friendly, they’re a great option for a fun day out with the entire fam.

9. Escapee


Non-horror but challenging escape rooms


Skittish folks, you’re not forgotten. If you don’t do well with jumpscares, Escapee’s escape rooms will be right up your alley.

Located within KAP Mall in King Albert Park, they’ve got a total of 3 escape rooms to tackle, 2 of which don’t rely on cheap scares to get your heart racing. This means even the kids can tag along for these. For instance, their Classroom Crisis escape room will have you working as a team to defuse a bomb planted in a school by a nefarious individual.

The air is rife with intrigue and mystery over at Inheritance, as you take on the role of a potential heir to a successful family business. Just when dad’s about to relinquish the reins, he, along with your eldest sibling, goes missing without a trace. It’s your job to locate your family by entering your father’s study to piece together clues and get to the bottom of their disappearance.

Escapee review: “We played Inheritance room with Chinese audio, and it was fun. Most of the puzzles have Chinese translation. Staff is kind enough to let us finish the game even though we overshot the time. One small issue is that the rooms are not very sound proof, and we can hear people talking as our rooms were near the counter area.” – W via Google

10.  Escape Room Singapore


Take part in virtual escape rooms from the comfort of your own home


We all know how difficult it is to round up the gang for an outing, which is why virtual escape rooms are just the thing for especially large group gatherings. With an internet connection and a laptop, you can pretty much partake in one from anywhere on Earth.

Escape Room Singapore is one of the only ones on the Little Red Dot to host 100% virtual escape rooms, and prices are surprisingly affordable, starting from just $20/pax. Each escape room takes at most 1.5 hours to complete, and will be conducted over Zoom, MS Teams, or Webex by a facilitator.

As of writing, they’ve got 10 to choose from. De Heist Adventure is themed after Netflix’s Money Heist, where you’ve got to rack your brains to unlock doors to retrieve a cache of hidden gold. Then, there’s Cyber Attack, which is their first-ever solo-friendly escape room, and The Prison Breaker, which challenges you to break out of a top-secret maximum security prison.

Price: From $20/pax

Can only 2 people play an escape room?


As they’re usually more well-known as a teambuilding activity, escape rooms in Singapore typically cater to a minimum of 4 people. However, there are some options in this list that offer games for 2 people, such as Lockdown SG’s VR games and Xcape Singapore’s The Doll escape room.


Are escape rooms very scary?


Whether an escape room is scary or not it depends on what the concept of the escape room is. Generally, escape rooms are meant to instill some form of suspense. After all, the premise requires you to race against the clock and escape. However, most of them are all in good fun and aren’t supposed to be too scary.

That said, there are a few escape rooms in Singapore that provide horror-themed rooms. So if you’d like to enjoy the thrill of solving a puzzle without getting jump-scared, we’d recommend you avoid those rooms altogether.


Do people get claustrophobic in escape rooms?


Though claustrophobia varies from person to person, it’s possible that escape rooms might be unsettling for those who have claustrophobic tendencies. Even though many rooms offer ample space for movement, they can feel a bit cramped with larger groups.

Our advice would be to reach out to the escape room company before making a reservation and inquire about their room options. Additionally, check if they have emergency exits that allow for a quick exit in case you feel anxious.


Cheap escape rooms in Singapore

Sometimes, we all need a little break from our mundane routine. Escape rooms can offer a brief respite from reality, allowing you to immerse yourself in a different world for a while. Within this time, you can pretend that the puzzles and challenges are all that you need to deal with in life.

For all those who’re looking for some form of escape, the above list of escape room providers in Singapore will give you exactly that. Pick your poison from this list and get ready to challenge your limits.

P.S. If you are planning an escape room trip with your little ones, do remember to check for any possible age restrictions to minimise any interruptions to your family outing.
