Maxx and Kelli founded Black 8 Escape in California in 2020 with one goal: create adventures that bring people together through storytelling, puzzles, and discovery. After relocating to the Black Hills in 2021, they expanded that vision by designing immersive escape rooms, treasure hunts, and unforgettable experiences inspired by the region's rich history and breathtaking landscapes.
Today, Black 8 Escape is redefining what an escape room can be.
Our signature self-guided outdoor escape adventures transform real towns, parks, and historic places into interactive puzzle experiences. Each adventure begins with a premium clue kit filled with maps, journals, ciphers, and mysterious artifacts. From there, you're free to explore, solve immersive puzzles, uncover hidden stories, and experience an unforgettable adventure—all on your own schedule.
While outdoor adventures are at the heart of what we do, we also continue to offer our popular Mobile Escape Rooms. Perfect for birthday parties, corporate events, schools, festivals, family gatherings, team-building events, or simply a fun night with friends, our mobile escape rooms bring the excitement directly to your location. We handle everything—you just gather your group and get ready for an unforgettable experience.
Whether you're exploring the Black Hills, hosting an event, or planning your next adventure, Black 8 Escape is dedicated to creating experiences that inspire curiosity, teamwork, laughter, and lasting memories.
At Black 8 Escape, we believe the best adventures aren't confined to four walls—they're waiting to be discovered in the real world.
