Our story

Puzzle people,
professionally weird.

Founded in 2023, Escape Goatz was born from a passion for immersive entertainment and puzzle design. What started as a small venture has grown into Hamilton's premier escape room destination.

Charlie the rottweiler, head of security and chief good girl
