It’s not scary, you won’t be locked in and you won’t be grouped with strangers at Escape Code! When someone in the family suggests booking an escape room for your Branson vacation, there is almost always one person in the group who instantly drags their feet. Maybe that person is you.

Take your family to one of Branson’s favorite indoor attractions before you head of to the show! Let’s talk about the classic Branson vacation itinerary. You wake up, grab some pancakes, maybe ride a coaster or do a little shopping, and then get ready for the main event: the shows. If you are visiting the Ozarks, you already know the stage productions here are world-class. You probably have your tickets locked in for the massive, sweeping sets at Sight and Sound, the insane energy at The Haygoods, a nostalgic evening at Presley’s, or an action-packed night under the stars at the Shepherd of the Hills Outdoor Drama. But there is always that awkward two-hour gap in the late afternoon or early evening. You are ready to go, but it’s too early for dinner and you definitely don’t want to just sit in your hotel lobby waiting around. Whether you are…
