Something new is being unlocked aboard the USS Orleck.

A completely original escape room adventure is in the early stages of development, blending naval history, suspense, and hands-on problem solving into an experience unlike anything else on the ship.

Can you uncover the clues, solve the mystery, and escape before time runs out?

Our team is just beginning the journey of bringing this immersive attraction to life, with a target opening sometime in October or November 2026. As the project takes shape, we'll be sharing updates, sneak peeks, and behind-the-scenes looks along the way.
