Being locked in a room with no apparent escape may sound terrifying to some, but escape room enthusiasts and puzzle lovers across the globe will say it’s the perfect opportunity to put your sleuthing skills to the test. If you’ve ever played an in-person escape game, you know they’re right!
Escape rooms in Florida especially have seen a rise in popularity over the years. As of July 2022, Florida had the second highest number of escape rooms in the USA! (Spira) We took a deep dive into Just Encase Escape Games, one of the newest escape rooms in Florida, talked to the owners, and found out exactly what makes this new escape room tick.

Just Encase Escape Games isn’t like other escape rooms in Florida. When asked, owners Samantha and Tabitha eagerly explained how they got started in the industry and what sets them apart from the rest.
“My wife and I did our first escape room, together, in 2020 and fell in love! We did a few trial runs with friends and family, and jumped right in!”
They went on to say,
“Our home-grown rooms, original themes, and original puzzles are what sets us apart! We aren't a franchise - you won't come across our rooms anywhere else in the world.”
Just Encase Escape Games offers three unique escape rooms with vastly different themes and difficulty ratings, which are detailed below.
Before fully jumping in, we wanted to fully understand what to expect from these rooms. We asked the owners to explain their difficulty ratings, since not all escape rooms offer a system like theirs. Here's what they said:
"Our difficulty rating system is fairly straightforward. We measure the rooms based on quantity of puzzles, simplicity of puzzles and their steps, and the escape rate among all players. We use our rating system to ensure players can pick the room best suited to their experience level! Though, all of our rooms can be completed thanks to our unlimited clues!"
Sounds simple enough to us!
