Going strong in downtown Corvallis since 2016, we have continually offered fun challenges for you and your group. All puzzles and rooms are free-range, organic, non-GMO, and lovingly crafted in our custom-built escape room factory off the Amalfi coast. Our staff go through a 2 year apprenticeship with Takao Kato, the founder of escape rooms, and they are here to make sure you have a great time from the moment you step through our door.
Our Approach

Our Experience
In designing a room, we try to have something for everyone. From 'old school' logic puzzles, to physical puzzles that might require the group to work together, to high-tech puzzles that bring the 'wow' factor, we aim to give everyone in the group a chance to shine. And we strive to make each room feel like you are immersed in that world -

And we strive to make each room feel like you are immersed in that world - because after all, aren't you here for a little escape from the everyday?

Looking for a unique and engaging team building activity for your company? Look no further than Escape Corvallis. Our escape rooms are the perfect way to foster communication and teamwork among your employees. Or to reward your team for a job well done. Or simply because you just want to have some fun together, separate from the daily grind of widget making, even though you know your whole staff absolutely LOVES widget making and would prefer to do this 24/7, for no pay whatsoever. In fact, you have the feeling that most of your employees would actually pay YOU for the privilege of working at your company, if given the chance. But I digress...These team-building rooms are all by appointment, so just email us and we can make it happen!
Our Rooms
Lockdown 2020
The year is 2020. It's early January, and people around the world are happily enjoying bat smoothies and coughing in each other's faces. But then, news breaks about a strange and deadly virus that appeared in China. Soon the whole world would find itself in LOCKDOWN! Before you could say "Tiger King", you were hoarding TP, learning what 'work-from-home' meant, and trapped in your apartment. The only way to get outside is to make the vaccine that will allow you to escape LOCKDOWN 2020!
Puzzle quantity: 10
Puzzle complexity: low to moderate (relative to our other rooms)
Searching ability required: mid-level
Players: 2-8
Jailbreak!
You've been wrongly imprisoned for crimes you didn't commit. (Those phone calls were perfect!) You are sentenced to serve your time with the worst criminals known to man - politicians. The guard has left his post and you have 1 hour to try and break free - do you and your team have what it takes to escape?
Puzzle quantity: 12
Puzzle complexity: moderate, with 2 of high complexity (relative to our other rooms)
Searching ability required: high-level
Players: 2-8
Happy Hour
Happy Hour is great fun especially for larger groups. You and your friends went out for a night of fun, but somehow you were separated, with half of you trapped in a dive bar, and half trapped in a cheesy casino. (Yes, your group starts off separated from each other...) One hour to find the elixir that will let you escape!
Puzzle quantity: 14 (roughly equally split and shared between the rooms)
Puzzle complexity: moderate (relative to our other rooms)
Searching ability required: mid-level
Players: 4-12

Caden
Caden
Caden
Caden didn't even know he was auditioning for a job when he and his family were one of the early groups to do Jailbreak. He had some excellent suggestions (such as NOT actually handcuffing everyone together) that he was offered a job on the spot. His claim to fame at EC is that he loves to sing showtunes while resetting the rooms!
Jacob
Caden
Caden
Jacob has a day job (so do ya now, Mr Fancy Pants???) working at OSU managing all their YouTube accounts, the College of Pharmacy, the vet school, and the MU (but only the restaurants). He found he had way too much free time so he came to EC. While his dedication to doing a good job and attention to detail are great attributes, we really kept him on because of his dog, Delilah.
Paul
Caden
Elias
Paul joined EC in summer 2025 as a temporary fill-in. Little did he know that by showing he was a quick learner and could think on his feet, he would be trapped at EC for the foreseeable future. With the arrival of Elias, Paul has moved up in the EC hierarchy and is now responsible for manually checking each of the 6,284 screws in all of
Paul joined EC in summer 2025 as a temporary fill-in. Little did he know that by showing he was a quick learner and could think on his feet, he would be trapped at EC for the foreseeable future. With the arrival of Elias, Paul has moved up in the EC hierarchy and is now responsible for manually checking each of the 6,284 screws in all of the rooms daily. And he now gets a full cup of gruel as part of his benefits package!

Elias reached out to us this past winter after doing one of our rooms and having a lot of fun. Little did he realize that behind the scenes, Escape Corvallis is filled with never-ending shifts composed primarily of turning the millstone that Mike insists is the only way to provide the power needed for the rooms. And of course the hours spent whittling chunks of ipe wood to make some of the decorative room props. But Eilli has come to appreciate the free daily cup of gruel!

Anna has been the behind-the-scenes driving force behind EC for a few years.

Anna has been the behind-the-scenes driving force behind EC for a few years. She is the muse behind such great puzzles as the one with the hidden thing that opens up that other thing, as well as that weird set of symbols that somehow gave the answer to that weird number lock. You remember...? That thing that Becky eventually figured out and we were all like, "Ohmigawd, Becky, how did you come up with that?" And she agreed to become the wife of Mike, so that shows you her judgment right there...
Mike
Elias
Anna
Mike got into the escape room business after trying numerous other failed businesses, such as professional plate spinner; tarantula breeder; and snickerdoodle quality control. As Mike says, "something about locking people in a room and taking their money just *really* appealed to me." Taking pride in designing all his own props and puzzle
Mike got into the escape room business after trying numerous other failed businesses, such as professional plate spinner; tarantula breeder; and snickerdoodle quality control. As Mike says, "something about locking people in a room and taking their money just *really* appealed to me." Taking pride in designing all his own props and puzzles, he has come to realize that maybe this is why he has so few friends. He hopes to be creating fun, challenging rooms for years to come. Unless Anna kills him first.
Rocky
Rocky
Rocky
Rocky is the official dog mascot of Escape Corvallis, and was the driving force behind the new Adopt-a-Dog or Cat-Program with Heartland Humane. He woke up one day, did his brief yoga (downward dog, of course), then said to me, "Hey Mike, sure, you adopted me from a shelter, but what have you done for shelter animals lately?" And I said,

And I said, "How is it you're speaking so articulately when just yesterday you were eating squirrel poop? But you do make a good point. Either that, or I really need to stop doing gummies at breakfast."
