While in town, June, Linda and myself decided to spend an hour one morning at The Escape Game in the Berry Hill section of Nashville. We chose the first one of the day at 10am but apparently we were the only ones interested in doing an escape room as soon as they opened. I was hoping for a few more people to join us to multiply the brain power, but no luck. We had to depend on just our three – which combined is at best only about 2 ½ brains.
We chose the Nashville themed game and were given one hour to find the “lost recording contracts” and escape the room. The “gamemaster” watches you (only a little creepy and intimidating) and offers clues as you need them. If you ever do an escape room, ask for the clues! I won’t give away the details, but suffice it to say we had to find clues to open locks which provided more clues. We had to sing into a mic, wear sunglasses, use a blacklight flashlight, read a bible verse, put together puzzles and about 30 minutes into our adventure, a magical thing happened…a giant wall mounted speaker opened and we’d escaped! Uhm…into another room! Yeah. We thought we’d cracked the case in record time. Not so much. More clues, more challenges, and math. MATH! It’s truly amazing that we escaped, but we did! With a minute to spare. AND I got a free t-shirt ‘cos it was my birthday! All in all lots of fun and I look forward to doing more. Who wants to join me?
