ANAHEIM, CA--(Marketwired - Oct 10, 2016) - Anaheim GardenWalk, a premier entertainment and dining destination in Orange County, today announced its newest tenant: Mission Escape Games -- New York City's #1 "escape games" company, where players use their wits to solve complex problems in order to escape a locked room. Mission Escape Games currently has five-star Yelp reviewed locations in Manhattan and Queens, and this marks the firm's first foray outside of the New York City area. Mission Escape Games will be officially open to the public on October 15^th, 2016.

"We're pleased to welcome Mission Escape Games' unique experience to our diverse lineup of restaurants, shops and entertainment options," says Robin Weeks-Wynne, senior director of marketing and tourism at Anaheim GardenWalk. "It will be a completely different type of fun that will make for an invigorating and unforgettable immersive experience for friends, family and coworkers."

Mission Escape Games offers puzzle-based game experiences for groups of six to eight players. Participants are locked into a room that is filled with challenging clues that will help them escape within a 60-minute timeframe. Mission Escape Games staff members monitor every game experience for the complete safety of all participants. Game experiences vary, and the new Anaheim location will launch by offering three exciting options with names including "Mission's 8: The Bank Heist," "Escape the Darkest Hour: The Torture Chamber," and "Escape the Hydeout: The Mystery of Henry Jekyll" -- with each offering guests a new adventure at various challenge levels.

"Our high-energy and addictive puzzle games require the right setting, and we found the perfect location in the center of all the action at Anaheim GardenWalk," says Joe Dumatol, owner of Mission Escape Games in Anaheim. "We've been recently nominated as one of the '10 Best Escape Rooms' in the country by USA Today.
