About PanIQ Room

The first PanIQ Escape Room opened in Budapest, a city that is called the origin of the entertainment trend. By 2014, PanIQ had expanded stateside, opening locations across the country. The name, with its capitalized "IQ", stresses the importance of using critical thinking and problem-solving skills to escape. There are separate rooms, each with a uniquely imaginative theme. For the next 60 minutes, teams race against the clock, working together to solve puzzle after puzzle as they collect useful items, uncover more secrets, and finally use their accumulated resources and knowledge to escape the room before time elapses. The challenges range from logic puzzles to skill tasks, which fully immerse visitors in the live-action gaming experience as they collectively scour every nook and cranny for hidden clues. An ABC News segment shows a team trying to make it through an escape room.
