Book escape rooms in Poland
First of all, in Poland you can find over 500 escape rooms - that's a pretty big choice considering the size of the country. Wherever you go, you’ll probably find one nearby, especially in big cities.
The next advantage that definitely must be mentioned: prices. In comparison to other European countries, Polish escape rooms are cheaper than rooms in bigger countries like Germany, Spain or Greece.
In Poland, you can find a lot of rooms that have been mentioned in TERPECA (Top Escape Rooms Project Enthusiasts' Choice Award - the largest and most popular plebiscite in the industry of escape rooms where you can find rooms and companies from all over the world).
It must be mentioned that a lot of rooms are available in English. It means that the room is prepared for non-Polish speaking players and the staff in the escape room speaks English so the communication during the experience can go uninterrupted.
And the last one: people! The community of escape room enthusiasts is very big and is constantly growing!
The first thing is to make suere you picked the right country. You can choose it on the top of the page. For now, we have 11 countries available. So if you’d like to start viewing Polish escape rooms and plan your dream trip, just select Poland from the list.
First of all, go to the All rooms page. This way you will get to the list of all rooms selected according to our ranking. The whole list can be sorted in 3 ways: recommended rooms, latest rooms, or review count.
Next, set the region in which you are looking for a room. Whether it will be a city, province, or the whole country - define the area where you want to go to an escape room. This will narrow down your search to places you really can reach.
Room ranking page has multiple filters and options in order to help you find the right room. Each room belongs to a category (like "adventure" or "horror"), has difficulty level or a game language. If you're claustrophobic, epileptic, or have any specific needs, its worth checking out accessibility markings in the filter list. You may also find outdoor escape games, or vr escape rooms on this page.
Congratulations, you have just chosen a room that suits all your requirements! You see that the best time slot is free so you’d like to book it as quickly as possible. How?
Here you can find some helpful information that makes your search process more optimal.
There are many railway carriers in Poland. Some are local (like PolRegio, SKM, Koleje Mazowieckie, and Koleje Dolnośląskie), and others nationwide (IC Intercity or EIC Express Intercity for long-distance trains).
In the case of local carriers, it is not necessary to book the seats, and the ticket can be purchased at the ticket office, at the station, in the application, or even on the train from the conductor for an additional fee. Importantly, if there is no open ticket office at your station, the conductor will not charge you additional costs for issuing the ticket.
For IC and EIC it is necessary to reserve a place in advance. The earlier we book tickets, the less the ticket costs. Not all long-distance trains allow you to buy a ticket from the conductor, and the fee charged for issuing a ticket on the train is very high. So, it’s much better to buy it earlier.
If you are moving around a city where there is public transport, you will be able to reach every corner of the city with its help. The most convenient form of a ticket is an electronic ticket from the Jakdojade platform because it can be purchased at any time and is considered a full-fledged travel document. You can also buy a paper ticket, but the rules may be slightly different in each city.
For example, in Wrocław you can buy them in this form too, but you can buy an e-ticket in the vehicle. All you have to do is choose a ticket on a special tablet and pay for it with a card. The ticket is not printed - the data is encoded on the card.
If you would like to travel by bus to a distant city, it is worth taking a look at the list of routes of several Polish carriers. You can buy a ticket directly on their websites or at the bus station (if there's a ticket office available).
Traveling by own car is definitely the most comfortable form of transport. Not only in Poland but in general. Every tourist equipped with Google Maps will cope easily on Polish roads.
If you’d like to rent a car, you can do it online before you come to Poland or use some apps to find cars in your area - it depends on you which option would be more comfortable for you.
Flights may not be very economical, but they are by far the fastest, and within the country, you can move freely by plane. It is best to book them well in advance. The largest carriers serving flights between Polish cities (domestic flights) are Lot and Ryanair. Of course, you can also fly to the chosen city fast from every bigger city, not only in Europe.
There are also many flight price comparison websites on the internet.
Warsaw is a very well-connected city. In vending machines scattered throughout the city, you can buy tickets for public transport, which allows you to use buses, trams, the metro and SKM (train). For the digitized - the Jakdojade application will definitely be your best friend and will tell you everything about your journey and transfers.
Public transport tickets can be purchased in press shops, at Passenger Service Points and in ticket machines, which you will find in most buses, in new trams, at metro stations and in the vicinity of stops.
It is especially worth emphasizing the role of the city railway, which is used by more and more tourists every year. If you care about punctuality, SKM travel between Warsaw stations will be the best solution.
However, many tourists and Varsovians travel by car. In addition to popular carriers (such as Uber), many visitors use the car rental option. This is a convenient solution, but you should remember that this city is very often stuck in an endless traffic jam.
Getting around Wrocław is easy due to the extensive network of trams and buses. It is enough to buy a time ticket (e.g. for 24 hours) and you can move around the city without any restrictions. Tickets can be bought in vending machines at stops, in some newspaper shops and directly in the tram - not from the driver, but from a special device. After entering the tram, we have to approach the screen, select the type of ticket and pay for it with a card. The ticket is not printed - it is encoded on the card used.
You can also travel by train in this city. Within the city area, trains of the following companies stop at many smaller and larger stations: Koleje Dolnośląskie and Polregio. The tickets are available in the Koleo app or in the ticket office. Many stations also have unmanned ticket machines.
There are many carriers in Wrocław that offer transport by car: Uber, Bolt or Free Now.
The best choice in Krakow is public transport - trams and buses reach every corner of the city. Tickets are much cheaper than traveling by taxi and you can safely reach every escape room destination. The most convenient way to buy such a ticket is in the machines of the Krakow City Card or via the Internet using the website www.kkm.krakow.pl.
It’s worth mentioning that all the rooms in Cracow are located a short distance from each other, in the vicinity of the Old Town. A lot of people travel here by scooters (Lime, Tier and Bolt). On each device located throughout the city, there is an instruction on how to install the application - everything is described step by step. Renting a scooter is a modern solution. However, it should be borne in mind that scooters cannot go beyond the specified zone.
For lovers of standard car travel options, there will be offers from Uber or Bolt. It is much more profitable to order a ride with the help of one of these applications than taxis, because they are much more expensive.
Within the railway stations, of which there are many in Krakow, you can move freely by train of Koleje Małopolskie. Tickets can be purchased at the ticket office at the station or in the Koleo application.
A good advantage of Bydgoszcz is public transport, which is a frequently chosen means of transport in this city. Tickets can be purchased at the newsstand, in ticket machines, in the telephone ticket sales system (like Jakdojade app) and at the initial stops from the driver for deducted cash (on weekends at each stop).
When it comes to the best way to move between cities, by far the best and most frequently chosen means of transport is the urban railway (SKM). Tickets for the trams can be purchased in the application or at the vending machine at the station. What is important, tickets cannot be bought in the train: The ticket purchase must be completed before boarding the train!
Buses and trams are only available in Gdańsk, but they are good for traveling between districts and for shorter distances. As in the case of SKM, tickets can be purchased in mobile applications and in vending machines.
Interestingly, the Tri-City has a lot of bicycle routes. In addition, more and more tourists use the option of renting scooters - currently they are Bolt, Dott and Tier.
Car transports such as Uber and FreeNow are also very popular.
The best way to travel between the Silesian cities is by train - Koleje Śląskie offers frequent train connections with every city in the agglomeration. You can buy tickets in the Koleo app or in the ticket office at the station.
Getting around the single city is also very easy. Silesia has a developed communication network. We can get almost anywhere by bus or tram. You can buy paper tickets at the vending machine at the bus stop or in Jakdojade app.
If the distance you have to cover is not too long (within Gliwice, Katowice or Rybnik), it is also worth considering a Lider taxi ride. To order it, you can call the hotline or order it with the help of the application. It is a slightly cheaper option than standard taxis.
If you intend to visit the rooms only within Gliwice, we highly recommend the AutoHop application. It works in such a way that you charge your account (“wallet”) and choose the pick-up point and drop-off. You travel in a small bus that picks up other people along the way, up to 8 people at once. This is a very cheap option, because regardless of the distance, the fee is only PLN 2.99 (about EUR 0.67).
Of course, in every Silesian city there is an Uber or Bolt type of transport, so if it is convenient for someone, there are no obstacles to use it. However, keep in mind that transfer fees between different cities can be very high.
Being late to a game may result in it being shortened or canceled altogether. Always notify staff when you are running late.
Arriving without a reservation can be disappointing: there may be no one on site or all rooms may be booked. The best way to avoid stress is to make reservations before you arrive.
Yes, you can always pay on the spot if you book by phone. However, some companies may require a deposit.
Yes, but you must remember that each company has its own cancellation policy. Most often, companies allow no-cost cancellations up to 24 hours before the appointment. Later cancellations may result in a mandatory no-refund fee if the appointment has already been paid for. Be sure to read the company's terms and conditions before making a reservation.
Of course not. In Poland you always play only with your team, Polish companies don't do public bookings.
It all depends on the number of players in the room. If the limit is 5 players, and you would like to come with an additional person, you absolutely must ask the staff about this possibility. If the additional person fits into the limit, there should be no problem. However, in this case too, you should ask the staff.
It depends on the company. You should always get this information in your booking confirmation. If not, you can always ask the staff. The guidelines at each company may vary slightly, but most often the staff will ask you to arrive a few minutes early.
Typically, in any escape room, players have free access to a restroom. Note, however, that some rooms, due to plot introductions, prevent the use of the bathroom before the game begins. Such information will then be visible in the room description or the staff will inform you of this during the reservation.
