Escape by the Lake

Escape by the Lake Before then, don't forget to redeem your gift certificates.

It's with a heavy heart that we announce Escape by the Lake will be closing its doors on May 4th due to unforeseen circumstances, but we're hopeful for a new beginning in a different venue soon.

Again we regret that we only have a few weeks left. We love sharing of escape rooms with Bemidji. If you have gift cards please use them before 3 May. We hope to be back with a different venue to bring fun to our town.

We are sad to relay to our community that due to several unfortunate circumstances Escape by the Lake will be closing our doors May 4th. We hope to return soon in a different venue. We encourage all to use any gift certificate s before that date. We are glad we were able to be a part of the Bemidji business community offering a fun form of entertainment. We especially appreciate all of our customers over the past three years, thank you all.

What’s this? A costume contest AND goodie bags?

That’s right! We’ve got our annual costume contest going on again this year. When you book a room from now until October 31, you can come in your best costume and at the end of the month, we will announce a winner and they will get a special prize from us here at Escape by the Lake!

We also have mystery bags! I don’t know about you guys, but I’m a sucker for those mystery bags companies come out with. Ours don’t cost an extra penny! You get one when you book until supplies run out (and there aren’t many left). It’s just a fun way for our family here to celebrate spooky season and share it with our wonderful customers.

We hope you plan an adventure with us and share your creative costumes this season. Happy adventuring!

Do you like Halloween? Well, we don’t. We LOVE Halloween. And we’re so excited to share that the long awaited Krampus room is opening in just a few weeks for the entire Halloween and holiday season! We will post more as the official room comes together and we can’t wait to bring this room to you all.

Say goodbye to Shadows of the Underworld: River’s Toll!

Hello Escapees,

We wanted to take a moment to share an important update. Due to rising operational costs, we’ve made the difficult decision to adjust our pricing structure.

Effective immediately, our updated pricing will be:
• 2 players: $30 per person
• 3 players: $27 per person
• 4 or more players: $25 per person

This change was made with careful consideration, and we’ve done our best to keep the impact to a minimum while continuing to provide the high-quality experiences you’ve come to expect from us.

We sincerely appreciate your continued support and understanding, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for more unforgettable adventures!

The moment you’ve been waiting for is here!

The professor is in danger—he needs YOUR help!

We’re thrilled to announce that The Rescue of Professor Dawkins Part II is officially OPEN!

You saved the world once before—thwarting the Mind Twister’s sinister plot with the help of Professor Dawkins’ ingenious machine. But your journey is far from over. Now, it’s time to save the brilliant mind who made it all possible.

The clock is ticking. Dawkins knew this day would come, and he left behind a trail of clues—clues only YOU can decipher. A rescue team is standing by, ready to receive your call. But beware: The Mind Twister had a backup plan—a final move to eliminate Dawkins for good. If you don’t reach the team within the next hour, all will be lost.

This is your mission. Your mentor’s fate is in your hands.
Answer the call—join the rescue. The world is counting on you!

🍀 Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀

Top o’ the mornin’ to ya, lads and lasses! Feeling lucky? Well, you should be — because this week, a special treasure might just be waiting for you in the rooms! But here’s the catch — you’ll have to swing by to uncover your prize. The luck of the Irish won’t last forever though — this magic ends on Sunday, March 23. Don’t miss your chance — come in and see what fortune has in store for you! 🌈✨

Did you know that escape rooms make for great memories with a loved one?

I have been with my significant other for five years and four years ago we did our first escape room as a couple together. It was so much fun and we still talk about that experience to this day.

Why not make some memories of your own by celebrating Valentine’s Day with an adventure at Bemidji’s very own escape rooms?

Call in to get a BOGO 50% off on groups of two, Friday, February 14 only! There may be a chocolatey surprise in your rooms too!

We look forward to creating lasting memories with you!
