Escape Reality

Escape Reality is an Escape Room company founded in Sarasota, Florida by Michael Katzman and Suzan Ponte, a married couple that finally figured out how to merge their love of games, wacky interior design, lighting, and toys under one roof.

What is an escape room, you ask? Our escape rooms are heavily themed rooms in which a group of people are locked in** and given a time limit to solve a series of puzzles and riddles, open locks, find hidden clues, and if all goes well, escape before time runs out!

In addition to our escape rooms, we offer virtual reality gaming, trivia challenges, robotics contests, live action Rocket League style tournaments, and more! We love toys and games and just about anything that makes beeping sounds, has flashing lights, and puts a smile on the face of the average nerd, so we also have a retail store where we carry only the coolest toys in town. Not only will we have them all available to try before you buy, but we pride ourselves on being knowledgeable about the products we sell.

Lastly, we have the puzzle bar, where you can hang out and have a Monster or a beer with the friends you came in with or the friends you just made in the escape room. Simple snacks and ice cream will be on hand, and food is available to be delivered after your game (or during a trivia night in the party room) from a wide variety of restaurants in the shopping center.

Come check us out and experience the best escape room and gaming experience you can have!

** Of course you will not really be locked in - there are emergency exits in the rooms if anyone feels like they need to leave.
