Building on the hit success of our Peoria and Bloomington spots, we’re bringing our signature, fully private escape rooms to the capital city! We saw a real need for fresh, interactive entertainment in Sangamon County, so we built the perfect Springfield destination for friends, families, and coworkers to team up and make unforgettable memories.
Conveniently located off E Sangamon Ave, near Business Route 55, Escapetown Springfield proudly serves guests from Riverton, Rochester, Sherman, Chatham, and the surrounding Central Illinois communities. With private bookings, immersive rooms, and expertly crafted puzzles, you’re in for an exceptionally entertaining experience every time you play.
Springfield is famous for its rich history and incredible landmarks, but if you’re exploring fun things to do in the city, you’ll find that many attractions ask you to simply walk, read, and observe. Escapetown offers something completely different—a hands-on, pulse-pounding experience where you and your group step out of the audience and become the center of the story.
