Joel and Kelli love puzzles and games and escape rooms are a great combination of these things. Escape rooms as we know them began as point and click adventure games where a user would interact with a virtual locked room. Inside the room were a number of items, keys, and tools that the user could interact with. By clicking on and discovering these items they would be able to solve different clues and puzzle that would lead them to their escape. Today, the concept exists in tangible, solvable real-life format! If you haven't tried one before, we highly recommend it.
