What a fantastic group to host late on a Friday night! Team Lauer were filled with electric energy from the minute they started and kept that up the whole way through!

Getting to be the first escape room experience for every non-adult member of this group made every find and solve that extra bit special! No more than a few moments would go by without the sounds of delight eminating from a side of the room as Team Lauer were amazed at every exciting moment as they arose! Thankfully all this excitement didn't get in the way of puzzle solving! Team Lauer finished part 1 in great time and everybody seemed eager to return as soon as possible to ring our historic bell!

Having to swap Gamemasters between a first and return visit can cause a little chaos for players and Gamemasters equally! Thankfully Team Hendry took on part 2 as if I had been their Gamemaster the whole time!

This team made sure to get straight down to business with a supreme sense of urgency! Team Hendry kept working and working and working and by the end of their time they had completed every single puzzle they faced! Finishing with plenty of entra time not only proved their abilities, but got them more than excited to make a return visit! Hopefully we see Team Hendry back to challenge Clockworks once its open!

Sometimes you can tell that a group is going to be fun from the moment they walk in the door, and once they named themselves the Silly Geese it all made sense!

Although their name was very whimsical this team was seriously ready to play as soon as they got into our room! The Silly Geese were focused and ready for every puzzle they encountered and dealt with them brilliantly! Finishing in this Gamemasters opinion at a perfrct spot, we'll be hoping to see the Silly Geese back to finish their great start into part 2!

Three weeks was just enough of a brain break for The Fat Sheep to collect themselves for a return to our room!

Though there were some disagreements on how to do puzzles through part 2 usually involving a witty comment or two, they did ring that bell with just about 10 minutes to go! From the sounds of it The Fat Sheep are as excited as any group to return for clockworks as soon as they can once it opens its doors!

This group of 7 were celebrating Jane's birthday making our building their Home Sweet Home thus becoming the Mötley Crew!

Just like Mötley Crüe they Stuck to their Guns and Kept their Eyes on the Money to work through every puzzle they encountered with great speed and efficiency! Hopefully part 1 was enough of a Teaser that Mötley Crew find their way back to do part 2 as the same band that played this time!

Having the chance to be the first escape room someone does is always a special moment! Imagine how special of a moment it was for this Gamemaster when all 6 of 3 Hotties & 3 Naughtys were doing our escape room as their first one ever!

Thankfully being a first escape room didn't cause this team to slow down or stop at any point! 3 Hotties & 3 Naughtys were excited and ready for every puzzle they came across, solving them all amazingly! During a great conversation once their time was up, it seems like they will be eager to come back soon! Hopefully 3 Hotties & 3 Naughtys can find that time to return to ring our bell before too long!

Da da… da da… da da da da da daaaaa…

Ladies & Gentlemen… it’s the Purple Panthers!!

Returning back to us, these four had a mission to ring the bell to celebrate Emily’s birthday! 🎉🥳

No easy task, The Postmastets Riddle Part 2 has many tricks up its sleeve… however, no mystery was to hard to be solved for these PURPLE Panthers!

It was such a fun game to Gamemaster. These four were small in numbers, but mighty. They rang the bell with some time to spare. Congratulations Purple Panthers!!

Hope you had a fantastic birthday Emily!!

Let’s do an Old Post catch up, shall we?

So happy to see Team Kottelenberg’s smiling faces back in our escape room!

As you can see, they gained a member! 😊👶 One of our youngest escape room patrons ever!!

This time was a delight from start to finish. Gamemaster Ty ran their game Part 1, and I, Gamemaster Jake took them on for Part 2. Just a very fun game with laughs, puzzle solving and of course… ultimate victory!! Rang the bell 🔔 in our Clocktower for all to hear!

Hope to see you all back for Clockworks!

Losing a member between their first visit and this one would have been a detriment for some teams! Thankfully for Kevin of Wallace Family +1, he got the chance to have a chat with our designer Tony before the game and help spur the whole team on in their return!

Even without that encounter, it was clear that this team was not going to struggle through part 2! Having only completed part 1 a month before, Wallace Family +1 returned and were ready to ring the bell as soon as they started. Every puzzle that came their way was met with determination and ultimately solved without much difficulty! From the overheard conversation with Tony, it seems like Wallace Family +1 will be trying to return as soon as Clockworks is open and take on that challenge as well! Whenever we see them back, its clear they will excel at any challenge they face!

We don't often think of finding our location as the first puzzle, but maybe we should include it as a first step! After accidentally making a wrong turn and going to Walkerton, once they arrived Team Aljas quickly got down to work in our room!

From the start it was very obvious that this was going to be a exciting game for the team! As soon as a puzzle was made apparent, it was a rush to see which member of Team Aljas would start working on it first! This lead to even at the end where once the game was over some members still wanted to work on puzzles because they were having such a great time! We hope Team Aljas brings that competitiveness back whenever they return to finish our room and do part 2!
