Discover the best escape rooms in San Sebastián to test your wits
In San Sebastián, there is a wide range of these types of games; however, we will explain the most popular, original, and dynamic ones so you can choose the one you like the most.
An explosive mission
This game is aimed at children (ages 8 – 12), although if it is their first time in this type of activity, we recommend they are also accompanied by an adult.
Did you know that in San Sebastián there is a criminal named Gazz who specializes in manufacturing chemical weapons? Therefore, the FBI has been tracking him for a long time. Now the time has come to catch him, as the police have received a warning of a series of suspicious activities in the warehouses of a building. However, Gazz has already been warned and has placed a bomb in the building.
Will you defuse the bomb in time? Will you save the neighbours?
The duration is approximately 1 hour and costs between €60 and €130 (the price varies depending on the number of players).
Sewers
Do you know the San Sebastián International Film Festival? The fame of this event has led to an escape room in the city in its honour, albeit in a peculiar way.
Your objective during the game is to obtain the Golden Shell, and for this, you must access the Kursaal during the closing ceremony to achieve it. The key is to switch the winner’s envelope. It seems simple, but to enter with the maximum security of not being discovered, there is only one possible way: through the sewers. The question is, will you be alone in those tunnels?
The plot seems to be a horror game, however, it is more focused on intrigue and mystery. For this reason, the minimum age to participate is 14 years and 12, but accompanied by an adult.
It lasts approximately one hour and ten minutes. Regarding participants, the minimum is two (€60) and the maximum is six (€100).
The mystery of Tomás and Clara
For us, LOCK & enjoy! is one of the best escape rooms in San Sebastián, as it is conducted outdoors at some tourist spots. We can tell you that physical and mathematical tests predominate in this game because there are numerous visual and logical challenges.
Many years ago, in Donosti, Clara and Tomás disappeared, a well-known couple. She was a highly prestigious painter, and he a humble fisherman who fed many families from the port. The disappearance left no one indifferent, and even the police worked tirelessly for many years to locate them, but without success.
Are you ready to decipher the mystery of Clara and Tomás? Moreover, it is also an excellent opportunity to learn a bit more about San Sebastián, since the escape room starts at the Palacio Duque de Mandas, one of the most important architectural symbols of the city.

Izurun
This escape room is focused on beginners, as it has a medium difficulty. However, it is an exciting game in which history, culture, and fun are the protagonists from the beginning to the end of the activity.
The first documented records of San Sebastián are from the year 1014. In them, a monastery located in a neighbourhood that still today retains the same name: El Antiguo, was already referred to. Most historians agree that this place was known as Izurun. Throughout the escape room, you will immerse yourself in 1000 years of history because it ends with the designation of the city as the European Capital in 2016.
It’s a way to learn a bit more about history, but with a dynamic approach and numerous puzzles in which you will test your senses.
The duration is one hour, and at least two people and a maximum of six can participate. On the website, you can book the day and time that best suits you, as there is a wide time slot to organize yourself.
Donostia 1813
Did you know that the city of San Sebastián was the last bastion of the Napoleonic troops during the War of Independence? The reason was the great fortified wall that resisted the assault of the British troops. However, in 1813 a breach was made through which the soldiers finally entered.
Your mission will consist of helping a young couple escape before the looting and destruction of the city by the British troops. For us, it is the best way to get to know the Old Town in detail with emblematic places such as Alderdi Eder Park, the Bretxa Market, or the Church of San Vicente, among others. On the other hand, throughout the escape room, you will meet numerous characters from the era who will give you the clues you need.
The duration is approximately 75 minutes and is played outdoors, covering a distance of about 3 kilometres. Up to a total of 24 players can play, and having a mobile phone is essential, as it is the main tool.
Don’t forget to reserve our lockers in San Sebastián – Parte Vieja to make any of the best escape rooms in San Sebastián, especially those that are conducted outdoors. We look forward to seeing you in San Sebastián!
