![]() ![]() The ClueMaster watched us via a closed circuit television to make sure we weren’t breaking any rules – or breaking any furniture. We were still stuck on this obstacle when the timer ran out we only had 60 minutes to complete the escape, which was the fastest hour of our lives. We tried other codes and it still wouldn’t open. The briefcase we were trying to open didn’t budge, and we were pretty sure we had the correct code. We got about two thirds of the way through the game when we hit an obstacle. Part of the fun was figuring out what you helped happen – and taking the puzzle from there. Something could pop out at you or something as subtle as a drawer unlocking could happen. Whenever you solved a clue, pushed a button or figured something out, you weren’t always sure what was going to happen next. I also enjoyed the surprise aspect, which is why I won’t give anything away. No idea is stupid, even if it seems like it, because for an escape room you want to try every possible idea. I grew to really enjoy the different way of thinking that the escape room required. You really have to think outside the box when looking for clues. ![]() But it was a spy themed room with a bar, desk, china cabinets, paintings that flipped over with hidden stuff behind them and other secret components.Īs we soon found out, tackling an escape room is a lot harder than it sounds. ![]() No photos or videos were allowed inside the rooms, so I can’t show you what the inside looked like. So, my first tip of advice to you is if you’re going to go to an escape room, make sure you actually want to be there – or you’ll be ruining it for everyone else. The one person who wasn’t super enthusiastic about the game just stood around, not being useful and was kind of a buzzkill. Three of those four people from outside our group seemed to be into it, helping us look for clues and solving the puzzles. We were paired with two other couples who seemed to be on a double date. But we started off hopeful that we would be part of the 15 percent. It has a 15 percent success rate – meaning just 15 percent of all people who try to escape the room actually win. It turned out to be the hardest escape room based on statistics (and my group’s feelings). My group chose The Agency, because that was one of the only rooms with ticket availability and an open time slot that wasn’t hours in advance. The place has four different themed rooms: Dig, a mixture of Indiana Jones and "The DaVinci Code" The Agency, a blend of James Bond and Austin Powers the classic Apartment, which is also the easiest and Rec Room, an '80s themed room. Or to just have unique time on a Friday night – which is what I had in mind when I grabbed two friends who seemed like they had strong wits and went to Escape the Room in the Third Ward. I’d never done an escape room before, but I’d heard lots of good things about them. It’s a great way to work on your communication skills with friends or to teambuild with your office coworkers. It may sound like a nightmare or a horror movie, but for many, this is a fun night on the town. ![]() You're locked in a room – and the only way to exit is to solve your way out through clues. ![]()
