šŸ— Puzzle in a building šŸ¢ Escape with Zelda

Happy 2017, the first prime year since 2011, and the last until 2027. MIT Mystery Hunt is just a few days away, and for the first time in my life, Iā€™m going. Canā€™t believe it took me this long. If youā€™ll be there too, letā€™s find a way to high five as we scurry in different directions across campus.

Meanwhile, weā€™ve sold out three Creatures on the Loose! events. At this rate, thereā€™ll definitely be more. If youā€™d like to have us put the game on privately for you, hit reply and let me know. The game works great for groups of 5 to 50 people.

Zelda gets the SCRAP Real Escape Game treatment

Real Escape Games by SCRAP - Defenders of the Triforce - Los Angeles [Review] - Room Escape Artist
Itā€™s dangerous to go aloneā€¦but awfully crowded in groups of six. Location:Ā Los Angeles, CA* Date played:Ā February 12, 2017 Team size:Ā 6; we recommendĀ 6 Duration:Ā 60 minutes Price: $30 per ticket early bird, $35 regular price, $40 at the door; might vary by city Story & setting The story was reworkedā€¦

Thereā€™s little explanation about how this game will work, but SCRAPā€™s got a record of putting on a good show. This isnā€™t a room escape, but it is a puzzle game. Your team will be in a room, solving the same game as lots of others. Tickets for Seattle, Chicago, New York and Houston go on sale Jan 24.
