First Escape is a premium escape-room and quest provider in central Vienna, offering immersive, high-tech adventures for visitors and residents alike. Located between the Vienna State Opera and St. Stephen’s Cathedral, the venue occupies a historic cellar dating to 1753, with atmospheric brick walls and two underground levels. Audiovisual effects, detailed sets, interactive storytelling and puzzles create a hands-on experience in which teams work together to escape within a set time.

Guests can choose from five quests: The Castle, Hotel Room 13, The Opera, The Subway and The Temple. Games accommodate groups of two to six, with durations ranging from 60 to 110 minutes, and are available in English or German. Staff explain the rules before each game, making the experiences suitable for beginners as well as experienced players. First Escape welcomes families with children over 12, friends, couples, tourists and corporate groups, and can host simultaneous, head-to-head games for larger parties. The company also offers team-building activities, birthday and stag-party experiences, events and gift vouchers, with online booking available.
