Escape room in El Palmar

You do not need to head into Murcia city centre, circle round looking for a space or keep an eye on the parking meter to play an escape room. In El Palmar you have Dr. Zodiac's clinic, on Calle Fortunato Arias.

Why here

What you save by playing in El Palmar

Time

Ten minutes and parked

It is about 10 minutes by car from Murcia city centre. This is a residential area, so you can usually find a space on the street without driving round.

Story

A local case

Dr. Zodiac is set in El Palmar's past: a nameless clinic that opened in the early eighties on an ordinary street in the neighbourhood. You play a few steps from where the story happens.

Plans

Decide on the day

We are open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00 to 21:00, and you can book up to 4 hours ahead. If the plan comes up on Saturday morning, you can still play that afternoon.

Two rooms in El Palmar: which one suits you

We have two rooms a short distance apart in El Palmar. They are very different games, so it is worth checking which one fits your group.

Handy for the south of Murcia

El Palmar sits right by the Murcia–Cartagena motorway (A-30). Coming from Cartagena or the coast, you reach it before you get into Murcia; if you live in Sangonera la Verde, it is next door.

And if you work or study around the Arrixaca hospital or the Health Sciences campus, it is the after-work plan without driving into the centre.
