1. Escape Room Escape from Alcatraz in Atlanta
The first escape room I recommend in Atlanta is the Escape from Alcatraz and it is located in the heart of the city. It is based on real events, specifically, on a story that happened back in 1962, the year in which three prisoners managed to escape from the high-security prison of Alcatraz, located in California.
During this escape room, you will be able to imitate the steps of the fugitives Frank Morris, John Anglin and Clarence Anglin, who starred in what would be called the Alcatraz escape.
You will have one hour to escape from the prison, thanks to the clues left for you by the famous fugitive Frank Morris. You will do this in a group of ten people, using the skills and abilities of all team members to accomplish the mission. This will be the last chance you have to escape from Alcatraz and you'll have to do it before dawn, so make the most of it!
As if that wasn't enough, the escape room allows you to enjoy a themed experience, and you can personalise the game with any type of celebration, such as a hen party, a marriage proposal or a birthday. You will have to indicate this at the time of booking. This activity is one of the best things to do in Atlanta in winter, being able to shelter from the cold and rain.
