Is I-Drive actually the escape room capital of the United States? Quite possibly. I-Drive currently boasts 12 escape rooms which vary wildly in style. Browse the escape rooms below to find one that intrigues you but be sure to book ahead, these fill up fast.
The Escape Company

The Escape Company settled right across from Disney Springs in Orlando, making it a convenient and ideal location for an after-dinner escape game. This escape room serves beer, wine, and other drinks before and during the games. While a random worker bringing you a beer in the middle of an escape would easily break the immersion, the offer is nice. Their games are a variety of difficulty levels and each allows for 60 minutes of gameplay.

- Pandorum (1 to 6 players)

The Escape Game
Address: 8145 International Dr #511, Orlando, FL 32819
The Escape Game presents a slight annoyance right off the bat for smaller parties. While there is no minimum player count, you do have to purchase four spots. For a couple, this would result in a one-hour experience for over $150. I recommend skipping this escape room if you have less than four players as there are too many other escape rooms in the area which don’t require this and have similar per player rates.
The Escape Game offers six different escape rooms at its Orlando location.
The escape games offered here currently include:
- Mission: Mars (2 to 8 players)
- Gold Rush (2 to 8 players)
- The Heist (2 to 8 players)
- Playground (4 to 12 players)
- Special Ops: Mysterious Market (2 to 8 players)
- Prison Break (2 to 8 players)
Average Cost: $37.99 per person
The Bureau
Address: 5400 International Dr, Orlando, FL 32819
Did we save the best for last? Definitely. The Bureau is a fresh take on escape rooms and takes immersion to the next level. From the start, before the mission even begins you are already being immersed in the world of The Bureau. For those who love themed, immersive experiences, this is the game for you. The best part is there are no cheap and obnoxious locks to try and crack. If you’ve done escape rooms previously and you’re looking for something new and refreshing then this is the place to book.
The Bureau does require a minimum of four players from Friday evening through Sunday. If you are a team of three or under you will have to reserve a total of four spots.
The escape games offered here currently include:
- Puppet Heist: The Hand of Life (2 to 8 players)
- Dr. Braingood (2 to 6 players)
- Lab at Lock Ness (2 to 8 players)
