Escape rooms have taken the country by storm with their intellectual-based set-up, the odd puzzles, the intense teamwork required, and the inevitable breakdown of that one person who didn’t want to do it but everyone made them anyway. They will enjoy it – we promise.
Escape Countdown is, bar none, the best escape room in Sarasota. Thousands of Siesta Key travelers take to the trials of the Escape Countdown every year, and you can join the ranks.
What makes Escape Countdown one of the most interesting things to do in the Sarasota and Siesta Key area? Below are a few of the many reasons you need to check out Escape Countdown, just a short drive away from any Siesta Key vacation rental.
Escape Countdown: Escape Rooms 2.0

Perfect for Team Building or Family Bonding
You have a whole hour to complete Escape Countdown as you venture through different rooms with different (and sometimes opposite) themes. You will not be stuck in the same room for the whole time.
Escape rooms are universally acclaimed for their teamwork aspects. This makes them a fantastic activity for families or team building activities. Escape Countdown has no age limit, but recommends ages 7 and up. It’s also a fantastic way to facilitate a team effort (or even a little rivalry) between extended families.

An escape room, especially one as complex as Escape Countdown, is the perfect activity for corporate events and birthday parties. The team components really play favorably into an exciting and unique corporate event. Kids will have the time of their life trying to solve the puzzles and proving their intellectual might alongside (and maybe against) family and friends.

Escape Countdown frequently offers special deals and savings to further entice you to give it a shot. You can typically find substantial deals on websites like Groupon. If you manage to have a big group, you can receive discounts even right in the building. Just call ahead for specific rates and relative discounts for larger groups.
