The advent of early summer brings warmer temperatures, longer days, and—for high school or college seniors still recovering from the stresses and long hours of finals week—an opportunity to let loose and celebrate after receiving a hard-earned diploma. If you have a newly-minted high school, college, or even grad school graduate in your life, you may be eager to pick out the perfect graduation gift to show your admiration.
Giving an experience can be a great way to reward a new grad’s educational accomplishments, especially when this experience can boost the recipient’s self esteem while helping him or her flex some intellectual and creative muscles. Giving a gift certificate to EscapeWorks Denver can provide your grad with a once-in-a-lifetime graduation adventure with anywhere from 1 to 11 of his or her closest friends.
Read on to learn more about the variety of themes available at EscapeWorks to suit just about every new grad’s interest.
What Experiences Are Available at EscapeWorks Denver?
At EscapeWorks, participants will be able to solve clues and decipher puzzles in a variety of contexts. Cracking the code within 60 minutes will ensure escape (and bragging rights), while falling short can mean an eternity locked into one of the following scenarios:
Egyptian Tomb
Transported to modern-day Egypt, participants are “inadvertently” locked in an ancient Egyptian tomb to retrace the steps of a mysteriously missing archaeologist.
Casino Heist
After the mastermind of your criminal enterprise has partnered with the authorities, it’s up to you and your team of co-conspirators to pull off the heist of the century and escape with the loot within 60 minutes.
Prohibition Coalition
Transported to the days of speakeasies and mobster rule, when alcohol was illegal but far more sinister activities weren’t, you’ll need to uncover the mysteries that lie within a perfectly ordinary flower shop.
Outbreak
Modern media is obsessed with the idea of a post-apocalyptic societal breakdown, and in the Outbreak room, participants will need to track down a vaccine for a deadly disease before it takes down the entire group.
Give an EscapeWorks Experience to the New Graduate in Your Life
Even if you’re not sure which of these room options is perfect for your graduate, you can buy a gift certificate to let the recipient select the room (or rooms) later. Because each room can accommodate up to 12 participants, you may want to purchase a gift certificate in a denomination that will allow your graduate to invite several (or more) of his or her friends. Once your graduate has chosen a theme and invited a few friends along,it’s time for their EscapeWorks experience.
We completed the Vampire escape room and absolutely loved it! The puzzles were clever, creative, and kept us thinking the entire time. Everything was really well done. Huge shoutout to Wyatt--he did an awesome job setting the scene, getting us pumped to play, and offering just the right amount of help when we got stuck. Five stars all around!

This was my first escape room experience. I went with one other person and we made it about 2/3 of the way through with only our 2 brains. Dakota was our game master and he was super friendly and enthusiastic- he allowed us to see the final room and other puzzles we didn’t get to experience during our hour. He went above and beyond and we’re excited to come back another time for a different escape! Thanks Dakota!

This was my first visit to Escape Works. As an avid escape room artist, I can confidently say I highly recommend this place. The room itself was challenging but yet manageable for all skill levels, while not frustrating and keeping puzzles fun! Dakota was a phenomenal game master from talking with him before, his hints were great and well timed. We will return for sure and am looking forward to doing the new location as well!

Austen showed us a really good time with 3 different rooms. She was super enthusiastic about her job and telling the story for each room. Super informative and made it fun. Even gave us riddles to solve while we waited for each room to be setup. 10/10 recommend. The rooms were fun and definitely had some challenging parts!

My friends and I did the Pirate escape room for a part of a bachelorette party and we had a great time! Such a fun experience, and because it was only an hour, it was an easy addition to our itinerary. We liked how this escape room gave us hints when we were struggling and didn't penalize us for getting the hint. It made for a really fun time! Also, our gamemaster Dakota was so fun!! We would definitely recommend.

We had an awesome time at EscapeWorks Denver! Dakota gave the perfect amount of hints, helping us along when we were stuck but still allowing us time to think the puzzles through for ourselves and still feel challenged. Dakota was very friendly and took a lot of great photos for our group when we successfully escaped the room. I would recommend EscapeWorks Denver for a fun night out!

My BFF and I did the Speakeasy Room, and it was so much fun! Wyatt was a great game master and gave us clues at just the right times. We escaped with less than a minute to spare...whew. I would definitely come back to do another room when I next visit Denver.
