If you’ve ever wondered how to turn an ordinary night out into an adrenaline-fueled adventure, Game Over Escape Rooms Tampa is your answer. Escape rooms: they’re the adult version of playing pretend, but with stakes, locks, puzzles, and the very real possibility of ending friendships over a misplaced key. Game Over has elevated this concept to cinematic levels across three locations: Brandon (2119 West Brandon Blvd Suite D), Tampa East (10266 Causeway Blvd), and Tampa West (402 N Dale Mabry Hwy).
Tampa West: The New Epicenter of Chaos
The latest addition, Tampa West, opened in May and is already challenging groups with five meticulously designed rooms. Whether you want to master magical forces in School of Magic, survive the creepy Toymaker, or pull off a Willy Wonka-style heist in Chocolate Factory, this location promises thrills, teamwork, and panic. Not enough? Try getting shipwrecked in 20,000 Leagues or looting the Queen Anne’s Revenge before Blackbeard returns—your bravery (and sanity) will be tested.
Private Experiences for Maximum Fun
All rooms at Game Over are private experiences, meaning you won’t be paired with strangers who think screaming at padlocks is an effective strategy. The level of detail, sound design, and set production is movie-level insane. Puzzles will have you shouting “I’M A GENIUS!” one second and “WE’RE NEVER GETTING OUT!” the next.

Even if your puzzle skills stop at Wordle, don’t worry. Each room comes with a difficulty rating, making it perfect for first-timers and hardcore escape room veterans alike. From mythical adventures and horror nightmares to international heists, you might end up stealing gold, outsmarting Dracula, or saving Atlantis—all before dinner. Talk about character development!
Hours That Fit Your Schedule
Each Game Over location has its own slightly chaotic schedule. Tampa West is open the latest, until 11 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays—because nothing says “date night” like arguing over pirate ship clues. Tampa East runs from 12 p.m. to 9:15 p.m., extending to 10:30 p.m. on weekends. Brandon follows a similar schedule, ensuring there’s always time to test your wits and teamwork before heading home.
