Encryption Escape
Dive into Savannah’s haunted past with the Hellevator escape challenge. Race against the clock, solve mysteries, and discover local legends in this thrilling urban adventure.
Encryption Escape is a live-action escape room company in Savannah, Georgia. The company offers four immersive, narrative-driven experiences that combine puzzle-solving, theatrical set design, and local atmosphere. Gremlin’s Nightmare: The Art Heist Intruder places teams inside a dim museum to capture a mischievous gremlin before the lights go out. Hellevator: The Deadly Descent traps players in a stalled elevator during a citywide blackout, giving teams one hour to solve a mysterious disappearance. Tomb of Terror: Legend of the Pembroke Pearl sends groups through Bonaventure Cemetery to locate a 250-year-old pirate treasure beneath eerie tombs. Studio 31: Death at the Disco recreates a 1977 BYOB disco where players act as crime scene investigators to find evidence and secure a conviction before night ends.
Encryption Escape designs games for a wide range of ages and skill levels, using clear instructions, timed challenges, and on-site staff support. Booking operates on scheduled sessions for private and public groups. Safety practices include staff briefings and in-play assistance. The company uses historically inspired settings (Bonaventure Cemetery, Roman Building references) and period details (1970s disco) to enhance immersion while keeping puzzles approachable.
Local residents and tourists favor Encryption Escape for engaging stories, challenging puzzles, and a convenient downtown Savannah location. Trained game masters prepare each session, manage pacing, and provide hints to maintain flow. The business focuses on consistent operations and immersive design to deliver repeatable group entertainment suitable for friends and families. Sessions work well for bachelor parties, birthday groups, school outings, and team-building events alike.
