Is this for you?
Who it's for
This 2 km loop from the Virginia Legends Park entry on Pacific Ave follows the Boardwalk past the Boardwalk Birds Sculpture, the Fishing Pier and the Atlantic Wildfowl Heritage Museum, with Oz puzzles to crack. Friends who like escape rooms, or Baum readers chasing the leaderboard solo, get around 90 minutes of seaside puzzling. Anyone wanting a staffed indoor room, or shelter on a stormy day, should pick something else.

A little clarity before you go
Frequently asked questions
Is there an escape room game on the Virginia Beach Boardwalk?
Yes. This is an outdoor escape-room-style game played on your phone around the boardwalk. Clues lead you to stops such as the Boardwalk Birds Sculpture, the boardwalk near the Fishing Pier, the John Wareing Statue and the Atlantic Wildfowl Heritage Museum, with puzzles to outsmart the witch along the way.
Where does it start and how long does it take?
You start at the Virginia Legends Park entry on Pacific Ave, and the route loops back to the same spot at the end. Expect around 90 minutes for about 2 km of walking, though you can take longer if you stop for a shake or browse the shops on the way.
How does an outdoor escape game work, and do we need to book a time?
There is no booking slot. You start whenever you like, and the app guides you from place to place, tells the story and sets puzzles based on what is in front of you. You can pause at any point and continue later. It is all outdoors, so dress for the weather.
Can we play as a group, or on our own?
Both work. Friends can team up to crack the puzzles together, and one ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated. If you prefer to play solo, you can take on the witch's challenges alone and compete against the leaderboard.
Is it a good choice for kids?
It suits families with older kids and teens who enjoy following clues and solving puzzles together, and the Oz story and original songs keep things light. Younger children may need help with the puzzles and the 2 km walk, so plan for breaks if needed.
Is The Oz Escape in Virginia Beach self-guided?
Yes. The Questo app guides you between locations without a tour guide or fixed departure. Start when it suits you and pause if needed.
Where does The Oz Escape in Virginia Beach start and finish?
It starts at Virginia Legends Park Entry on Pacific Ave, Virginia Legends Walk, Virginia Beach, VA 23451, USA and finishes at 12 Virginia Legends Walk @ Atlantic Ave (E side), 1300 Atlantic Ave, Virginia Beach, VA 23451, USA. The route is approximately 2 km and includes 15 location-based puzzles.
How many accesses does our group need?
This classic quest sells access per device and player. Each person who wants to solve clues on their own phone needs their own access.
