Digital detox in Budapest

Switch off, and connect with each other!

60 minutes of adventure instead of 60 minutes of scrolling.

When did you last do something together where checking your phone never even crossed your mind?

At AROOM you can follow the trail of a disappearance, hunt for pirate treasure or step into the secret-filled world of a strange house. You discover clues, share ideas and live together the moment the solution finally falls into place.

Your phone can rest in the meantime. Now it's your turn.

Pick our shared adventure

What is a digital detox?

A digital detox is a conscious break from your phone, from being online or from other digital devices. It can be a dinner without notifications, an afternoon hike or an hour you devote entirely to each other.

You can start with a single shared programme. One with plenty to discover, try and talk about, so putting the phone away easily becomes part of the experience.

An hour when something else holds your attention

In everyday life it is easy to be together while everyone is somewhere else. A message arrives, a notification flashes, someone quickly checks something, and the conversation is already broken.

In an escape room you have a shared mission. Someone finds a strange object, someone else spots a connection, and a third works out where it can all be used.

Each other's ideas and the next discovery keep your attention moving.

  1. You have a shared goal

    Everyone can join the story. You look for clues together, try out ideas and move towards the solution.

  2. You talk, listen and react

    What one of you finds, another can make sense of. Speak up, ask and listen to each other: every new thought can carry the team further.

  3. You shape your own story

    A secret door opening, an unexpected twist or a last-second solution can stay a topic of conversation long after. In these moments you are all in it.

Who is a phone-free shared adventure for?

Families: when everyone takes part in the game

Looking for a family programme where children and adults all have a role?

In an escape room you discover a new world together. Children may notice details the adults miss, and parents can help put the clues together. Everyone can add something to the shared success.

Choose a story that suits the children's age and interests, and the family mission can begin!

    Uncover Motel's secret

Before booking, check the age limit, team size and conditions of the chosen game.

Make the game a whole phone-free evening

You can start with a single shared agreement: during the programme you put your phones away and pay attention to each other.

Who found the most important clue? Which task surprised you? What made you laugh the most? By the end of the game, you will have plenty to talk about.

  1. Settle the important arrangements beforehand.

    That makes it easier to dive into the game calmly.

  2. Mute your notifications.

    If someone has to stay reachable, agree in advance how you will handle it.

  3. During the game, rely on your own ideas.

    If you get stuck, ask for help as explained at the briefing.

  4. Afterwards, give the shared experience some time.

    Talk through your favourite moments over dinner or a walk.

Frequently asked questions about the digital detox programme

What makes an escape room programme a digital detox?

Consciously taking a break from your phone and online activities while you focus on a shared task you experience in person. Even one such occasion is a good chance to try what it is like to play together without interruptions.

Are the escape rooms completely screen-free?

The rooms may have screens, lights or technical devices that belong to the story and the tasks. The point of the programme is putting away your own phone, messages and social media, and playing together.

We would go to an escape room for the first time. Is it still a good choice?

Yes. Choose a game recommended for beginners, and tell us on arrival that it is your first time. At the briefing before the game you learn the rules and how to ask for help.

Can two of us take part?

Yes, several of our games can be played by two. You will find the bookable team size and other important information on the room's page.

Does it work with children and teenagers?

Yes, by choosing a room that suits their age and interests. Look at the stories together, so that choosing the programme is already a shared decision.

Where are the games of AROOM and Locked Room?

In downtown Budapest, at two venues close to each other: Király utca 14. and Székely Mihály utca 4. You will find the exact venue on the chosen game's page and in your booking confirmation.

Live your next shared story in person!

Choose a story, gather the team and give yourselves an hour where the clues, the solutions and each other's ideas take centre stage.

Put the phone away. The adventure is yours to shape.
