“The Escape Room was awesome,” said Jennifer Aguirre. “It gets your adrenaline running to get things done and work as a team to help save the world.”

Real Escape Rooms are designed to be completely immersive and difficult. They are made to stump participants and require teams of 10 per session to work together to find all the clues, and solve puzzles that lead to more challenges and more conundrums.
