If you’re looking for something fresh, fun, and mentally engaging to do in Phnom Penh, ANNO89 Escape Games might be just what the city has been missing. Founded by Andy, this new venture reintroduces the capital to escape room experiences with a modern twist and thoughtful design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I run an escape room in Phnom Penh. When I started, there was nothing like it in the city,\u201d Andy explains. “I wanted to bring a fun, interactive experience that challenges people and brings them together \u2014 something completely different from the usual routine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four Months In and Just Getting Started<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been open for four months now,\u201d says Andy. \u201cThe dream is to open more rooms and possibly more locations in the future. There\u2019s nothing quite like this in the city, so I felt it was the right time and place to bring something different to the scene.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The format is simple but effective: You and your team are placed in a themed room with one goal – escape before the clock runs out. Along the way, you\u2019ll face puzzles, clues, and challenges that require teamwork and creative thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Rare Chance to Be Present<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe best part is watching people come out of the game smiling, laughing, and full of energy,\u201d Andy says. \u201cIt\u2019s fun to observe how different teams approach the challenges and how people work together. I\u2019ve learned a lot about behavior and teamwork through this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But beyond the entertainment, ANNO89 gives players something increasingly rare: the opportunity to disconnect from their phones and reconnect with the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great team-building activity, lots of fun, and it gives your brain a workout. Plus, it’s one of the few experiences where you really put your phone down and stay fully present for an hour \u2014 and you walk away with a lasting memory.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filling a Gap in the City\u2019s Social Life<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Asked why this business matters to Phnom Penh, Andy is clear: \u201cIt fills a unique gap between just working and the usual options of going out to eat or drink. This offers something new \u2014 a different kind of fun that\u2019s active, social, and mentally engaging.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andy’s ambitions extend beyond puzzles and clues. \u201cMy favorite thing about Cambodia is definitely the people \u2014 they\u2019re kind, respectful, and always welcoming. If I can grow this business, I\u2019d love to invest more into social projects here in Phnom Penh to give something back to the community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
