WE'RE TRAPPED AND CAN'T GET OUT!

What’s up everybody?

Have you ever had the experience of being looked in a room and forced to find away to escape it.  Something like you would see in some horror film.  No?  Well thats ok, nobody really wants to experience that.  Unless you want to partake in an activity that is sweeping our nation.  I’m talking about escape rooms.

If you are not familiar with them, I will give you the gist of it.  Understand that not all places may follow this pattern.  This is just generally speaking.  They give you a scenario of what has taken place in the room.  Then you are locked in said room and have to solve the puzzles and escape before the time runs out.  DON’T LET THE TIME RUN OUT!  You wont like what will happen if you do.  Naw, Just playing.  You’ll just have to deal with shame of losing the game.  Unless you really are in a horror film.  Then heaven help you.  Save yourself.

The place that we went to was Escape Strategy.  Located at 4151 E. McCoy Dr in Aurora.  Some of our group was having some issue booking their appointment.  Escape Strategy staff were friendly and worked hard to fix the problem that they had.  

Escape Strategy sports three rooms for you to choose from.

The Mad-Hatter Room:  In this room you help Alice solve the clues and make it to the tea party on time.  But don’t lose your head to the Queen.

The Senators Office:  You work for a prominent Senator that you suspect of espionage.  You set up a fake meeting to get him out of his office.  You need to  find the evidence before he gets back so that he doesn’t pin it on you.

The Crime Scene Room:  You play the role of a detective.  You have received a phone call that your partner has been killed.  You are tasked with going over the clues left behind to hind the killer, the murder weapon and the way that he escaped the scene.

We had booked the Crime Scene Room.  I don’t want to give away too much, so I am going to keep it a little vague.  No spoilers here.  When we arrived the staff gave us some brief instructions about the room.  When we first entered the room, it was a little overwhelming.  There are “clues” scattered throughout the the room.  For me at least, I kind of stood there for a moment dumbfounded deciding were to start.  Each of us split off in different directions and started our search.  We started figuring thinks out and everything started to fall into place.  Unfortunately for us we ran out of time on the last puzzle.  If we had just a few more minutes we could have solved it.  So close, but not close enough.

All in all, we had a really fun experience.  If you are the type of person that like to solve puzzles and mysteries.  You’ll have fun too.

Until next time.  Thanks for stopping by.

P.S.  Sorry no picture this week.  They would not let us take our phones in with us.  Like I said.  No Spoilers.
