Ah, Escape. Where the beats drop harder than the phones — and this year was no exception.
If you lost something (and statistically speaking, yeah, you probably did), you can check the official Lost & Found portal here:
Picture it: lasers, bass, and your phone deciding to crowd-surf without you. By sunrise, our Lost & Found crew (and a small army of honest ravers) had wrangled everything from wallets to keys to credit cards — all of it logged, tagged, and sorted before most people even found their car.
Phones led the comeback parade, with roughly 80% returning to their rightful owners during the show. Wallets and keys followed close behind, while payment cards lagged — as usual. (They always seem to have commitment issues.)
The average item was processed in under a minute. Our top logger handled 930 items solo — blink and they’d already scanned another phone. Efficiency goals.
👻 People Obviously Love This
“My group lost 4 things across the festival and it was all in the lost and found! The community + Ground Control have been amazing.”
“Thank you to the entire Ground Team and to the ravers who returned my phone I dropped during a dance battle. Undying love to this community.”
“AMAZING. Super efficient. Super helpful. Great system. Now if only you had a lost and found for friends.”
“Fantástico — súper feliz con el personal y buena asistencia. ¡Gracias!”
“Everyone was helpful and quick with getting me my ID. Honestly didn’t expect to see it again.”
“Lost my wallet the first night, got it back with everything inside. You guys are absolute legends.”
🧙♀️ A Little Pre-Game Magic (Protect)
Before the weekend even started, thousands of fans registered their phones with Protect — linking items to real people before they had a chance to disappear into the crowd. That bit of prep made reunions faster and kept the chaos to a minimum.
And because good vibes attract good friends, our pals at Lunchbox jumped in too — offering a special Escape-themed hydration pack (yes, the slick one with the ghosted-out design) at a discounted price for festival-goers. Perfect for keeping your essentials — and your sanity — close all weekend.
Fewer ghosts. More water. Happier humans.
💀 After the Confetti
When the last bassline faded and the lasers cooled, our Lost & Found looked more like a shipping warehouse than a festival tent. Phones, wallets, and enough keys to open a small city — all verified, packed, and ready to make their way home.
By the end, more than 250 pounds of stuff were processed and returned back to happy owners. That’s roughly the weight of a baby elephant made entirely of iPhones and glitter.
It’s the least glamorous part of the weekend — a blur of bubble wrap, shipping labels, and caffeine — but it’s also the moment everything comes full circle. Because behind every box is someone getting their weekend (and their dignity) back.
If you’re still hunting for your stuff, don’t panic — just check the Lost & Found page below before assuming your wallet’s gone forever.
