Bonus – a live-action experience in Vegas (with us)!
All 10 of the shows we’ve talked about here involve spectacular elements of showmanship and will absolutely dazzle everyone in your group.
However, most of them offer little chance for you to get involved in the proceedings.
You only get to enjoy the show as an audience member.
If you’d prefer an experience where you run the entire game – you’ll be placed in the driving seat as a movie-like mystery unfolds – then we can point you towards Vegas’ premier escape room.
We have a variety of escape room experiences – in which you solve mysteries inside specially designed indoor environments – to match various temperaments.
From a family-friendly encounter with a fortune teller (where things rapidly spin out of control) to a thrilling escapade through a mysterious asylum (which older kids and others will enjoy) and a larger real-life chess-like strategy game, there are multiple options for you to choose from.
