What Sets Us Apart From Other Escape Rooms?


Immersive Room Design
There’s no office wallpaper inside our 14th century castle. No getting instructions from a wall mounted TV inside our World War II bunker. When we say we want you to immerse yourself in the game environment, we mean it.


Engaging Game Design
Unlike some escape rooms, we don’t get carried away and make puzzles so difficult that players get exasperated. We don’t limit the number of hints you can ask for. Our games are designed to be FUN, not frustrating.


Innovative Experience Design
We constantly innovate with technology to embed game timers, hints, and game master interactions into the gameplay. Expect a variety of puzzles and physical interactions, rather than a series of padlocks, at Clue IQ.


Player-Focused Operations
We always ensure every game has a dedicated game master. And while we use technology to design the experience, you DON’T have to be very computer-savvy to play any of our games; the tech happens ‘behind the scenes’.


Escape Room Gift Cards
Give your loved ones a chance to go on a thrilling journey in a magical world with a Clue IQ gift card. It’s a gift they’ll remember.

It’s an experience that everyone – whether they’re eight or they’re eighty-eight – will enjoy, and will remember. Whether you’re simply looking for shared experiences with your loved ones, or trying to organize a party in Frederick, this is the place to be!
