02 / The story of this place

Make time for these

Escapology started in Orlando in 2014 and calls itself the world's largest escape room chain. The Portage location opened in May 2016 as Kalamazoo County's first escape room, built by the owners of the neighboring Airway Fun Center in an office building they own next door. You pick from ten private 60-minute games, from Scooby-Doo's spooky castle to the cursed church of 7 Deadly Sins, and four have a Kids Mode for ages 7–14. Hints are unlimited, your host snaps a free group photo after each game, and the rooms stay unlocked for safety.

  • Kalamazoo County's first escape room, since 2016
  • Ten rooms, including Batman and Scooby-Doo
  • Kids Mode on four games for ages 7–14
