This self-guided escape is recommended for adults only, while families with children should explore our family-friendly Pirate Escape Scavenger Hunt.

The Patriot Escape will guide participants to several National Historic Landmarks and numerous significant sites related to the American Revolution in Charleston. As a Patriot “Spy,” participants must navigate their way out of the city without being caught, which is determined by the time taken to complete the Escape.

This escape is crafted for both passionate hobby historians and professional historians, offering an accurate depiction of events in Charleston nearly 250 years ago during British occupation. Please note, it typically involves around 2 hours of walking and will lead guests into neighborhoods and other landmarks that are difficult to discover independently. Good luck Patriots! Down with the King!
