Cloak and Dagger Escape Rooms
About
Cloak and Dagger Escape Rooms brings a full lineup of themed, private escape room adventures to the Village of Baytowne Wharf, the walkable entertainment district inside Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort. The Baytowne location sits at 145 Tupelo Courtyard in Destin, Florida, and operates as one of a small handful of Cloak and Dagger venues that also include locations in Hamilton Township and Wildwood, New Jersey, along with additional South Florida cities. Every room at this location is booked privately, so a party never shares its hour with strangers working the same puzzles.
The Baytowne venue currently runs three themed rooms, each designed for 30 minutes of puzzle solving. The Swindler’s Escape sends players aboard a train heist story where the group must recover a town’s stolen treasure before time runs out, rated a moderate 5 out of 10 in difficulty and built for two to eight players. The Hillbilly Still turns up the challenge to 7 out of 10 with a backwoods moonshine theme, tasking a group of two to ten with tracking down Grandma Millie’s hidden ingredients to get her still running again. Knight’s Quest, rated 6 out of 10 for two to eight players, drops guests into a fantasy showdown with an evil wizard named Belgrath, who must be stopped by stealing his spell book before he can use it. Each room runs $27.99 per person, and the company markets its sets as high tech rooms built for immersive storytelling rather than simple lock and key puzzles.

Escape rooms here work well for more than a casual date night. The venue is built for team building outings, birthday celebrations, and private events, giving corporate groups and family parties a structured, hour-long activity that forces communication and problem solving under a ticking clock. Because each booking is private, organizers can reserve a room for a specific group size and know the whole session belongs to their party alone, which makes the location a popular choice for company retreats staying elsewhere in Sandestin.

Cloak and Dagger Escape Rooms Baytowne keeps evening friendly hours that match the rhythm of the surrounding village. Monday through Friday the location opens at 12 PM and runs until 10 PM, while Saturday and Sunday hours start earlier, at 11 AM, and also run through 10 PM. Reach the team directly at 850-904-5400 to check availability, and book online in advance through the location’s website at cloakanddaggerescaperooms.com/baytowne, since the themed rooms are popular during peak weekends and holiday weeks on the Emerald Coast.
Because the escape rooms sit inside Baytowne Wharf, visitors can easily build a full evening around a session, following up a round of puzzle solving with dinner at one of the village’s restaurants or a stroll past the plaza’s live entertainment. The venue’s family friendly design and range of difficulty levels make it approachable for teams that have never tried an escape room as well as veteran puzzle solvers looking for a fresh story to crack on their next trip to Sandestin. Arriving a few minutes early is worth the effort, since staff walk each group through the rules and safety information before the clock starts, and a prompt start means the full 30 minutes goes toward solving the room rather than getting oriented.
