Legend has it that the great Harry Houdini built the world’s first “escape room” 100 years ago inside the Palace of Fine Arts, as a challenge to 8 brilliant innovators, to see if they could escape his contraption filled room within 80 minutes. These innovators — Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Henry Ford, Charlie Chaplin, John Philip Sousa, William “Buffalo Bill” Cody, Helen Keller, and Luther Burbank — all participated in the Panama-Pacific International Exposition of 1915 in San Francisco. The room is now open to the general public, available by reservation only. Part mystery, part history, all fun!

The package includes one full room reservation for Palace Games' Great Houdini Escape Room at the Palace of Fine Arts. This reservation is good for a team of 6 to 12 players. Teams will have 80 minutes to escape.
