Is this for you?
Who it's for
Families, friends and couples looking for a date idea get an outdoor take on the escape room: about two hours of puzzles on a 2.2 km loop around San Marco, framed by a new story drawn from L. Frank Baum's 1900 Oz novel. Solo players can take on the leaderboard instead. Anyone who wants a live host dropping hints, or would rather stay out of the weather for two hours, should book an indoor room.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Oz escape in Jacksonville a scheduled event, or can we go any time?
There is no fixed session to book. You start whenever suits you, play on your phone and follow the app from place to place. There is no group to join and no guide, and you can pause and continue later if you need a break.
How is this different from an indoor escape room in Jacksonville?
Instead of a locked room, you walk a 2.2 km route through San Marco and solve puzzles set in what is in front of you at each stop, while the story carries you on to the next. You pick your own start time, and one ticket covers the whole group playing together.
What is the Oz story and experience like?
You join a team of misfits trying to outsmart the witch in a new story inspired by L. Frank Baum's original 1900 Oz novel. Clues lead you to each location, puzzles are in escape-room style, and original Oz-themed songs written for the game play in the app and stay available after you get home.
Where does it start and finish, and how long does it take?
It starts at the San Marco Lion Statue in Balis Park and ends back in Balis Park, so it is a loop. The route is 2.2 km and passes stops such as Largo Well Park, Theatre Jacksonville and the Tile Market of San Marco. Most players take about two hours, puzzles included.
Is it good for kids?
Families with children do play it. The escape-room puzzles suit children old enough to enjoy working out clues alongside adults. It is about two hours on foot outdoors over 2.2 km, so think about whether younger children can manage that, and remember you can pause and continue later.
Is The Oz Escape: A Wicked Glitch in Jacksonville 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: A Wicked Glitch in Jacksonville start and finish?
It starts at 1 Balis Park at San Marco Lion Statue, 1999 San Marco Blvd, Jacksonville, FL 32207, USA and finishes at 12 Balis Park, 1999 San Marco Blvd, Jacksonville, FL 32207, USA. The route is approximately 2.2 km and includes 12 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.
