This Christmas, Haley and I decided to mix things up a bit this year, and instead of buying physical gifts for one another's families, we would take that money and buy an adventure for our family on their behalf! We did an escape room!
I found a Christmas themed room, and was able to schedule a convenient time online, though it was before Christmas, so we opened our gift early, which is something I don't usually enjoy, but this seemed like perfect timing!
We arrived our 15 minutes early, and had time to enjoy some of the amenities in the waiting area!
In the room, the kids listened well to our host, were very gentle with the props, and started solving puzzles! This was the first room, that Billy and I had played, where we were truly 'locked in!' There was a key if we needed it in an emergency, and our host said he'd come to our rescue if we needed it, too.
The room was listed as "hard' on their website, so I was nervous about the potential for failure, but we succeeded with over nine minutes remaining!
We escaped!
The kids had a great time! We got to peek in one of the other rooms, and it was filled with sand! They can't wait to go back and do it again. = )
In the lobby, there was a 'mini' escape game, presumably to solve while you are waiting, but the kids worked on it after our game, since we were in no hurry to leave.
Another success!!
When we got home, Emily and Grace were playing a virtual Escape room on the computer.
Safe to say, we'll be doing this again!
later days
