Escape Cape May is a live escape room business that offers six themed, live-action puzzle experiences. Each experience presents a narrative-driven challenge that asks players to search for clues, solve puzzles, and complete objectives within a limited time. The lineup includes Cape Inn, CSI, Cape's Top Chef, Aunt Millie's Condo, Transylvania Murder Mystery, and The Dog Pound.
Cape Inn sends teams on a race to recover “The Sacred Tibetan Bell” from Professor Miller. CSI blends escape-room mechanics with a Clue-style murder investigation in a Mafia Club VIP lounge. Cape's Top Chef recreates the pressure of a cooking competition after a sabotage forces teams to recover missing dishes. Aunt Millie's Condo is a seaside treasure hunt noted for eccentric riddles and supports small groups of two to nine players in a 60-minute format. Transylvania Murder Mystery places players among movie monsters tasked with finding Dracula’s killer during a birthday celebration. The Dog Pound is a family-oriented rescue mission that follows clues from a brave puppy named Harper.
Escape Cape May’s experiences emphasize teamwork, problem solving, and immersive storytelling, making them suitable for friends, families, and mixed-age groups.
