It's pretty telling that in a time where we’re literally stuck in our homes, we’re drawn to playing games where the goal is to actually break free from a room. Virtual escape rooms are quickly becoming the go-to at-home activity these days (we suppose everyone ran out of jigsaw puzzles?). So, grab your family members and see if you can conquer these 6 challenging options (several of which are free!).

1. Expedition Escape's Bank Heist
Expedition Escape, located in the Greater Philadelphia area, actually took their real life escape room and turned it into a free (!) virtual one. In this experience, you'll be part of a crime syndicate on a mission to unlock a safe. Be sure you have a calculator on hand though, since you only have 20 minutes.

4. The Hogwarts Digital Escape Room
Created by the Peters Township Public Library in McMurray, PA—and obviously inspired by the magic-filled works of J.K. Rowling—the experience not only brings you into the wizarding world of Harry Potter, but also challenges your brain, something we're definitely craving from inside our quarantine walls. The best part? It’s totally free.
