Title: Escape Room
Post by: RW on March 17, 2016, 01:05:23 PM
This evening we are taking the kids out for an escape room experience.  They lock you in a theme room and you have to find clues to escape in the allotted time.  The one we are doing is zombie themed and supposedly has real actors.  Sounds fun!



I'm just wondering if anyone has done something like this or has heard from someone who has.  Any details would be appreciated :)

Hell would be being locked in a room with you, with the only key embedded in a cheese cake on a table in the centre of the room.

It was awesome fun.  I highly recommend trying it if there's one around you.



We had to solve a series of puzzles to get through rooms to find the cure for a zombie apocalypse.  You have to find keys and clues and implements to do the job by solving riddles and such.  It was really hard.  I'd do it again in a heart beat.



After that, my husband and I went to Dark Table, a restaurant where you eat completely in the dark as are served by the visually impaired.  Here's a picture of us enjoying ourselves:

I won two tickets to Escape The Room in Vancouver when I won the second place Novice at Halloween Expo last year (among other stuff :) ) I still haven't used them.  I want to go with my daughter, we think so much alike, I think we'd have a lot of fun but I really don't know what to expect. And you are teamed with other people.

I just found out from a co-worker that there are 3 of these escape rooms in Manhattan. One is right near Madison Square Garden, one is near SoHo and one in Koreatown. They are all run by the same organization and they are called Chapters 1,2&3.



It sounds interesting enough to peak my interest.
