What Should You Wear to Play an Escape Room?

Cracking the Case in Comfort: What to Wear for Your Escape Room Adventure

While there's no formal dress code, what you wear can impact your ability to conquer the challenge. So, ditch the ball gown and stilettos, and let's explore what to wear for a successful escape room experience at Magic Escape Rooms.

Comfort is King (and Queen)

Escape rooms often involve a good deal of movement – searching, crouching, reaching for clues high and low. Stiff or restrictive clothing will only hinder your performance (and enjoyment). Opt for comfortable clothes that allow for a full range of motion. Think flexible athletic wear, relaxed-fit jeans, or stretchy leggings.

There’s No Business Like Shoe Business

Since you'll likely be on your feet for most of the adventure, comfortable shoes are a must. Forget the flip-flops or high heels – stability and good traction are key. Stick with sneakers or closed-toe flats that provide good support.

Mind the Temperature

Escape rooms can vary in temperature depending on the location and season. Dress in layers so you can adjust to the environment. A light sweater or long-sleeved shirt paired with a breathable t-shirt is a good option. This allows you to cool down if needed or add warmth if the room is chilly. We love our downtown Columbus' location and building’s architecture; but to have that older vibe, it’s well over 100 years old.

Think Practically

Avoid wearing anything with loose strings, dangling jewelry, or bulky accessories that could get caught on something during your escape attempt. Keep it simple and functional.

Embrace the Theme (Optional)

While comfort reigns supreme, the Magician’s Secret escape room has a golden age of magic feel so maybe you should escape the ordinary! If you're feeling adventurous, you can incorporate a touch of themed clothing into your outfit. It's a fun way to add to the immersive experience.

The Bottom Line

Dress for comfort, prioritize movement, and choose attire that won't restrict you. Remember, you're there to conquer puzzles and have a great time, not model the latest fashion trends. So, throw on your comfy clothes, lace up your sneakers, and get ready to outsmart the escape room and claim your victory!
