Welcome to
5th Street Escape Room
5th Street Escape Room is located inside a former bank building in Charleroi, Pennsylvania. From the moment guests step through the door, the character of the historic space adds depth to every story and every challenge. The atmosphere makes each room feel genuine, and many groups comment on how the setting enhances the experience from start to finish.
Guests travel from Pittsburgh, Washington County and the surrounding Mon Valley communities to enjoy a fully immersive game that blends storytelling, problem solving and hands on discovery. All rooms are private, which means your group is the only group in the room. You are never actually locked in at any time, and free parking is available near the building. Many first time players tell us the privacy of the experience and the clear guidance from staff help them feel comfortable, confident and ready to enjoy the challenge.
Each experience lasts about an hour, including a short briefing beforehand and a discussion afterward where groups can revisit clues, ask about missed details and share favorite moments. A trained game host guides you through the process, offers help when requested and makes sure all players feel involved.
Why Immersive Escape Rooms Are A Great Choice For Groups
Escape rooms offer a shared activity that blends teamwork, creativity and discovery. Every player contributes something different. Some people excel at pattern recognition, others are skilled at connecting clues and some help keep the team focused on the overall goal. When these abilities come together, the room becomes a lively environment where communication and cooperation matter more than puzzle expertise.
Families enjoy escape rooms because the challenge encourages everyone to participate. Younger players help search the room and spot clues adults might overlook, and older players often enjoy the logical and story driven puzzles. The experience allows families to focus on one another without distractions and creates memories that last long after the hour ends.

What To Expect When You Arrive
When you arrive at 434 Fallowfield Avenue your group is greeted by a host who explains the story for your chosen room and covers simple guidelines. The history of the building is visible throughout the space, and many visitors comment that the original bank details add to the atmosphere.
During the game your group explores the room, looks for hidden information, opens locks and solves puzzles that move the story forward. Staff members monitor the progress and provide support if your team requests assistance. You are free to step out of the room at any time, and safety remains the top priority throughout the experience.
After the game your host walks you through any clues you may have missed and answers questions about the puzzles. This final discussion is often one of the most enjoyable parts of the visit since it allows players to reflect on their decisions and celebrate the steps that brought them closest to escape.
