You may have heard of some of these escape rooms before – and for good reason. ONE Intervention has taken great care in curating this top-tier list of the latest, most exciting escape rooms that you can treat your little adventurers to.
From escape rooms featuring ancient civilisations to escape rooms designed to stretch your little one’s critical reasoning skills, this list has it all. But before we list them, ONE Intervention would like to put up a friendly reminder that while they’re great fun and are definitely enriching, most escape rooms require kids below 13 to be accompanied by legal and paying adults. Make sure to have a trustworthy guardian with your kids when you visit these escape rooms! Or, better yet – accompany them yourselves!
Alright, ready? Fantastic! Let’s get into it.
Kids In The Room
First up, we’ve got the iconic Kids In The Room. Kids In The Room aims to curate educational escape rooms for children aged 5 -16 years old. They hail from Korea and have been in Singapore since 2022, featuring the most thrilling premises that you can dream of in their escape rooms.
Check out The Lost Egyptian Kingdom if your little one is particularly interested in ancient Egyptian history. Thieves and smugglers have taken the Royal Cup from the pharaoh’s tomb and it’s up to your intrepid explorers to recover this artifact. This escape room is sure to be a treat for kids who particularly enjoy learning about the intricacies of ancient history.
Or, if your child prefers something more modern, you might want to try the Let’s Shine! K-pop Stars In The Room escape room instead. The premise of this escape room is that players are k-pop stars who urgently need to brush up on their skills so they can put on the show of the night. If your little ones seem to be constantly fascinated by the latest K-pop hits, this is definitely the escape room for them.
Kids In The Room aims to provide quality educational experiences for all its participants. They pride themselves on teaching children how to overcome real-life challenges through game-ified problems. And they do so through an absolutely jaw-dropping variety of escape rooms featured on their website – there’s sure to be something for even the pickiest child!

Captivate Escape Rooms
This is another popular choice for escape rooms for kids in Singapore, and with good reason. Captivate Escape Rooms has been lauded with stunning praise, boasting an impressive three thousand perfect, five-star reviews on Google. They feature a total of eight different escape rooms, each tailored to a unique theme that will definitely appeal to kids and even some of your older teens.
ONE Intervention in particular recommends Alice In Puzzleland – Captivate’s novel take on the classic children’s story. Here, players are transported into the exciting and dangerous world of Puzzleland. Faced with the terrifying threat of the Red Queen yelling ‘Off with their heads!’, players must scramble to find the White Rabbit’s pocket watch so that they can get back to their reality. This escape room features ingenious puzzles that challenge the players’ creativity and observational skills in a thrilling race against time.
Or, if your children are constantly on their phones, they might better appreciate the escape room Hansel & Gretel. In this exciting spin of the age-old fairytale, Hansel and Gretel have successfully managed to escape the witch’s cottage. However, on their way back home they come to the chilling realisation that they have left behind their phone in the witch’s hut. Players of this escape room must gather all their wits and cunning in order to make the difficult choice of whether or not they go back for their phone… and if they do, they must use every ounce of skill at their disposal to make it back safely.

Escape Room @ Science Centre Singapore
We bet you didn’t know that the Science Centre also offered escape rooms for kids! They in fact have three excellent choices that you can choose from – The Museum of Humankind, Shangri-La and Dr. X. Each of these escape rooms challenge the players’ skill at science, mathematics and logical reasoning. They must be able to keep calm and solve various creative puzzles within the time crunch, or risk being trapped in the room… possibly forever?
While each of the three escape rooms offered have their own talented merits, ONE Intervention believes that The Museum of Humankind deserves its own special acknowledgement. This educational escape room has a delightfully riveting premise: The year is 2500, and you are one of the last human beings alive. Extraterrestrial beings – the Zarkins – have captured you and placed you on a display in The Museum of Humankind. It’s up to you to use your wits to escape and outsmart the Zarkins, or risk being trapped in the Museum.

The Escape Artist
The Escape Artist was first established in 2013, so it holds the honour of being one of the pioneers of escape rooms in Singapore. Throughout the years, they’ve done their best to provide the best quality of escape rooms for kids, teens and adults. Their rooms are immersive, ingenious and altogether startlingly creative – not for the faint of heart to attempt!
ONE Intervention recommends Gatecrash, which takes place in the sketchy (ha!) world of underground art. Players have daringly robbed a renowned art collector’s stash of priceless artifacts. However, in doing so they have accidentally triggered a dangerous trap which has locked them in the collector’s basement. It’s up to them to get out as soon as possible, because the collector returns in precisely sixty minutes…
And if your kids are more the type to make art than to steal it? Then we’ve got just the thing for you as well – be sure to check out 5 Awesome Art Workshops For Kids You Should Sign Up For Now!

The Tiara Society
The Tiara Society prides itself on being “Singapore’s first and only royal-themed indoor playland”, and certainly lives up to its expectation. They boast a wide variety of services for your little princes and princesses, from an indoor playland to makeovers and photoshoots. (Psst — if your kid is particularly interested in indoor playgrounds, drop by our article on These 5 Massive Kids’ Indoor Playgrounds. Don’t say that we didn’t tell you so!)
Anyway, the highlight of the Tiara Society is their Harry Potter themed escape room. It’s the only escape room for kids in Singapore inspired by the iconic Chamber Of Secrets in Harry Potter. The escape room boasts intricate puzzles and plenty of easter eggs for eagle-eyed fans. Your kids have to rely on their wit (and a little bit of wizardry?) to make it out of the Chamber Of Secrets alive…
Look forward to The Tiara Society’s signature immersive gameplay and creative tools when trying to escape the Chamber of Secrets. And for the adults in the family, why not take this opportunity to feel a little nostalgic about this beloved series, and see how many references to the original books that you can spot?
