The spirit of Adventure can transport us from the real world, into an epic one of imagination where limits disappear and brave exploration is king. Adventure Themed games often cast guests as Indiana Jones-esque explorers, sending them around the world, from jungles to pyramids to ancient lands full of danger, mystery, and even a few booby traps along the way. The excitement evoked from an Adventure Themed game can live on long after its hour has passed.
Escape Authority is honored to announce our 2020 Keys To Greatness – Best Adventure Theme winners:
Tomb
(Albany, NY / Buffalo, NY / Syracuse, NY / West Nyack, NY / Arlington, VA)
An ancient pyramid is home to a malevolent Pharaoh, ready to challenge (and mock) guests in their quest to prove their bravery. 5 Wits masterfully crafts a storyworld which is equal parts foreboding and inspiring, with authentic finishes and elaborate effects that transport explorers to another time and place – one that they’ve never seen before, and would be hard-pressed to uncover anywhere but here. This family-friendly experience is suitable for all ages, inviting the young and young at heart to cast aside their fears and take on the Adventure that lies ahead.

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
(Los Angeles, CA)
An officially licensed game based on the blockbuster film of the same name, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle holds true to its inspiration by casting each guest in the group as a uniquely skilled avatar straight out of the movie. With puzzles that can quite literally only be played by a specific character and skillsets so wildly varied, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle enters rare territory as a game so immersive and original that it could actually be played multiple times. And thanks to its fully in-world means of character selection, returning guests are guaranteed a unique experience each time they venture back into the jungle! 60out creates an epic, authentic adventure that’s equal parts solo challenge seamlessly blended with all the most compelling moments of a classic team-based escape game, immersively framed within the storyworld of one of Hollywood’s best adventure-based motion pictures.

July 11, 2020 – Escape Authority takes racially intolerant comments very seriously, and as such, in light of those recently made by the owner this former award-winning venue, we can no longer support, recommend or endorse this game. As such, this award has been removed.
This is not a political issue, nor is it a matter of opinion. This is an issue of respect and human decency. We need to do better as a people. The time for that is now.
Congratulations to our winners of the first ever Keys To Greatness – Best Adventure Theme award!
With more than 1,000 games played across the site, being picked as one of the best three in the country is a well-earned honor to truly be proud of!
With so many deserving games worthy of recognition, our goal is to ensure these Keys To Greatness awards are attainable to all – not just those with blockbuster budgets that might be otherwise out of reach. As such, it’s important to note that we have, as much as possible, limited games to winning a single category – but every game will still be qualified to win the coveted Keys to Greatness – Best Game award, as well as the Keys to Greatness – Remote Play awards.
*Although the games I’ve personally designed are consistently very highly rated by both enthusiasts and newer players alike, I cannot in good conscience nominate an attraction I created. As such, those games and the venues that call them home have been intentionally omitted from consideration for any Keys To Greatness award.
