Escape Room

Yesterday, my family, two of my mom's friends, Kyle, and I went to The Missing Scientist. It's a game type deal created by Enigma Escape Rooms (I'm not sure if there are rooms out of Boulder). You can find their website here.

The basic plot is that a scientist is missing, but he has invented a machine that could save or doom the world, and the evil university folks are coming to get his stuff. Seriously. In addition to the thrilling plot, you (along with seven other people) are locked in a room, and have to use clues, solve puzzles, and find secrets to escape in sixty minutes. It is maybe one of the most fun experiences I've ever had.

As for completion, we very nearly made it. Seriously, we missed one hint, which led to another hint, which would have made us win. About 25% of people are able to win, so I think we were in the top 30%. The person hosting it said we were one of the best groups.

For those of you thinking about playing the escape room, which should be all of you, here is a HINT (NOT A SPOlLER): Fully unscrew the grate. That's what did us in, and we couldn't figure out what to do in the last five minutes.

For the other 55 minutes, though, we had a blast. 'Tis really a great experience. Try it. Seriously. Go sign up. NAO!

Ahem. Sorry about that. It's just... so good.

Well, the last two paragraphs have been saying basically the same thing, so that probably means I don't have much left to say. Bye!
