We are unsure how long the shut down will be this time, but will post updates as soon as we have them. Meanwhile, gift vouchers can be purchased any time on our website and still make a great holiday gift: https://www.riddlecapecod.com/book-now/gift-certificates/

Comments closedRiddle’s Really Rad Reopening (good luck saying that 5 times fast…) is almost here! We’ve got extended hours all summer long to help you beat the heat with one of our 5 unique adventures. The best part? All of our games are now PRIVATE! Stranger danger isn’t an issue here! In fact, we are requiring all groups to book in advance so we can make sure you don’t even run into any strangers in the lobby. How’s that for social distancing? In addition, masks are mandatory for ALL PLAYERS. Don’t worry, we will be wearing them too! We have also increased the amount of time in between games so we have plenty of time to safely and properly sanitize the room for the next group. There will also be sanitizer stations and extra soap available for you to wash your hands before and after your game.
Our summer hours will be 12pm-8pm Sunday-Thursday and 12pm-10pm Friday-Saturday. You can check out our new game schedule and make your reservation using the button below.
Comments closedTo Our Friends,
We understand and share your concerns about the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and are taking steps to minimize any potential contact and spread by closing March 15 for two weeks. We will continue to monitor the situation and heed the recommendations of health officials. Our number one goal at Riddle has always been the safety of our staff and customers and we feel at this time, though we are saddened to do so, that closing is the responsible thing to do.
When gathering in groups is once again safe, we look forward to welcoming you all back to Riddle for some fun and excitement with your friends and family. In the meantime, please practice social distancing. Even if you are young and healthy, taking a step back will help prevent further spread to those at high risk, like our grandparents and parents. It’s easy, being on the Cape, to think: this won’t happen here, but it is and we need to do all we can to flatten the curve.
Be safe and be well.
Your friends at Riddle

We’re continually asked 2 questions: 1) What’s an escape room (which we covered in a previous blog post), and 2) Where the heck did this escape room phenomenon come from?
While the escape room concept is new to Cape Cod, they’ve actually been around for about a decade.
Not surprising, the concept began online where gamers had to escape a virtual room by solving clues and puzzles. Crimson Room was probably the most well-known and popular.
The virtual game evolved into the live action version in the early 2000’s when SCRAP, a Japanese publishing house, opened The Real Escape Game in 2007. The story goes that 35 year-old Takao Kato was sitting in a class in 2006, looked over a friend’s shoulder and saw her playing a game on her computer. The game involved pointing and clicking her mouse around a virtual room to reveal clues needed to unlock the front door. Takao, who had been looking to create a new event experience, was intrigued. A year later, he launched the Real Escape Game.
Real Escape Games spread quickly with rooms proliferating throughout Asia. In 2012, SCRAP brought the first Real Escape Game to the U.S. with a launch in San Francisco. The phenomenon has since mushroomed across the country. By some numbers, there are roughly 600 escape rooms in the States, mostly in metropolitan cities like New York, Vegas and New Orleans. And now, Mashpee, Cape Cod!
In Japan, they’ve even taken the experience out of a single room, holding Real Escape Games in venues like ruined hospitals, stadiums and amusement parks. That got us thinking…could an “Escape the Beach” be in our future?!
Want to see what all of the hype is about? Live in the Cape Cod area? Why not book an escape room with the Cape’s only escape room experience.
