Enough of the same old birthday parties…
Discover the only birthday in Rome where the gift for the birthday guest is a real adventure created by a magician!
Here is how, thanks to film-worthy sets and real actors who bring the experience to life, Magic Escape became the most reviewed in Rome with over 7,000 reviews at 4.9 stars out of 5.
You know what a grown-up birthday usually looks like, right?
The “nice” restaurant booked two weeks in advance, the table for twelve where after half an hour you only talk to the person next to you, and the birthday guest smiling for the photos but already knowing how it will end: cake, happy birthday, anyone want another round?
Or the bowling alley where half the group gets bored by the second game, the aperitivo that ends with “everyone on their phone”, the karaoke where the same three people always sing, or the spa where “relaxing” is a polite way of saying that nothing memorable happened.
And then there are the themed parties: balloons, banners, “happy birthday” shouted in chorus.
Fun when you are eight, a little less so when you turn thirty-five.
In the end the evening goes by, the photos go up on Instagram, and the next day nobody has a story to tell…
Because nothing happened that was worth remembering.
What if this year were different?
Here is the answer for a birthday where the birthday guest forgets it is their birthday (and everyone has fun)!
For 60 minutes nobody looks at their phone, nobody gets bored, nobody sits around chatting.
You are all inside the same adventure, all shouting and laughing and hugging when someone finds the key to the next room.
And the birthday guest? Far too busy solving puzzles with their friends to think about how old they are turning.
That is why, on the way out, the first thing they say is: “Who organised all this?”
You did. It was your idea.
Because Magic Escape is not just any escape room…
Magic Escape is Rome’s first magic escape room, created by a professional magician with around 3,000 shows behind him.
Every room is designed by me: sets that look like film locations, special effects that make you forget you are in Rome, and a theme built on magic and wonder, never horror.
So no jumping out of your seat, no fear, just an adventure that works for everyone, from the bravest to the friend who usually says no to everything.
And in some rooms there are also real actors who step into the story with you and make the adventure even more immersive.
Across eleven rooms you will find two worlds: Magic (where you enter stories of wizards, fantastic creatures and schools of magic) and Adventure and Cinema (where you become the lead in stories inspired by the great films).
Every room is one of a kind, built from scratch for these venues.
You need no special knowledge to have fun, and you do not need to have ever played an escape room before.
The rooms are designed so that everyone can take part, and the magic theme makes them right even for people who would never enjoy a horror-themed escape room.
How a birthday party works at Magic Escape
1
Tell us how many you are and what you want to organise
You fill in a 30-second form with the number of guests, the date and your preferences. No commitment.
2
We call you back with a tailor-made proposal
Within 24 hours we get in touch with the room (or rooms) that are perfect for your group, the best time slot, the extra options and the price. If the group is large, the rooms start at the same time.
3
Choose the package you prefer
You can book the room experience only, or add the complete package with exclusive use of the venue, buffet and cake. With the Gold, Platinum and VIP packages we take care of everything (and you only have to think about having fun).
4
Bring your group and enjoy the party
You arrive, we take care of everything. And when you come out of the room, the party carries on: a toast, buffet, cake and laughter about who found the solution and who got lost at the first clue.
How many people you can invite (and why there is no low limit)
You can celebrate with an intimate group of 5 friends or throw a party for 25 people, split across several rooms that start at the same time. That way even large groups all play together, at the same moment, and meet up at the end of the adventure to compare stories.
Via Bolzano venue
Up to 20-22 players in 3 rooms: Harry Houdini’s Study (up to 10 people), The Wizards’ Prison (up to 7 people), and a third room on rotation.
Via Veio venue
Up to 25 players in 4 rooms: Magical Creatures, Indiana Jones and the Gold of Rome, Vendetta and a fourth room on rotation.
Via Voghera venue
Entirely dedicated to the world of magic. Rooms inspired by the world’s most famous young wizard, for anyone who wants a themed birthday.
Would you like an even longer experience?
You can double the fun and play two rooms back to back, for 120 minutes of adventure.
The rooms are all different, and the best part is that when you finish the first one and feel like trying another, it is already there!
And if you want the party to be truly yours alone, you can reserve the whole venue exclusively: we close to the public and the adventure becomes private for your group.
With the Gold, Platinum and VIP packages everything is included: exclusive venue, buffet, cake and zero worries for the organiser!
Do you want to win at all costs? There is the Victory Guarantee.
For an extra €5 per person, we guarantee you will reach the end of the adventure: extra minutes and additional clues so you can experience the finale without the risk of stopping one step short of the solution.
It is perfect for first-time players or for anyone who wants to enjoy every step without the pressure of the clock.

3 venues in the centre, all a few steps from the metro
All our venues are less than a hundred metres from a metro station (lines A, B and C), right in the centre of Rome.
So your group arrives without a car, without hunting for parking and without getting stuck in traffic. And if you want to carry on the evening after the adventure, you are already in the heart of the city.
Via Bolzano 40 – Metro B Sant’Agnese/Annibaliano
Via Veio 35C – Metro A San Giovanni
Via Voghera 47 – Metro C Lodi
You know when your birthday is… but you do not know whether we have availability!
Friday and Saturday evenings fill up weeks in advance, especially from March to July and in December.
So if you already have a date in mind, the best moment to lock it in is now.
If you do not have one yet, write to us anyway: we will help you find the perfect day and keep you updated on availability.
See you soon,

P.S. If you want to surprise the birthday guest, organising everything in secret could not be easier: get in touch, tell us what you have in mind, and we will build the adventure together without the birthday guest knowing a thing until the moment they walk in.
