Giving Memories

Escape My Room

A team experience like no other, Escape My Room invites groups from two to eight people to be locked in a room where they must work together to find clues and solve puzzles to escape in under an hour. Escape My Room offers two different themed rooms to choose from — the Mardi Gras Study and the Jazz Parlor. To accommodate groups that would like to compete against each other, a duplicate Jazz Parlor is being constructed to be ready by the end of the year.
