Escape rooms first appeared in 2007 in Japan.[1] Today, there are more than 2,000 of them in the United States alone![2]
Popular themes include prison escapes, zombie apocalypses, Sherlock Holmes, treasure hunts, and bank robberies,[1][3] but there’s a massive variety of escape room games.
Depending on which escape room you visit, you’ll likely have a choice of several story options.
Escape room team names can be generally adventurous or specific to the story you’re playing. Either way, they’re typically comical!
We have a variety of punny and cool escape room team names below; if you don’t find one you like, we also offer a team name generator and tips to help you create your own.

Escape Room Team Name Generator
How to Create Your Own Escape Room Team Name
The perfect escape room team name will depend on what type of escape room you’re doing and the preferences of your team members.
Create your own escape room team name with the following tips:
- Consider whether you want a general team name or one specific to your escape room experience. Escape rooms have themes, and you may choose a group name that matches the theme of the room you’re visiting. For example, if you’re visiting a one-hour, space-themed escape, you might want a name that references “60 minutes” or one that uses terms related to astronomy and space travel. Many of the escape room team names on our list are mainly general, but they can be made more precise with the addition or change of a descriptive word.
- Use humor. Escape rooms are challenging but fun, allowing you to work together with your team to solve a complex puzzle. What’s a better morale booster for your team than laughter? Use puns and comedy when coming up with your perfect escape room team name.
- Keep synonyms in mind. An easy way to build an escape room team name is to think of terms similar to “exit,” “escape,” and “leave” and use them as your inspiration.
