It’s been almost a week since our last games. But when one door 🚪 closes…

Another opens somewhere else!

We are thrilled to announce that although Great Escapes Harford is no more, our legacy will continue under the ownership of Ben Andrasik from Escape Proving Ground. A new Great Escapes will open in a location TBA in the coming months.

We are excited to help Ben launch more creative, immersive and challenging experiences, and hope many of you will come out to play. Stay tuned for updates!

This now-married couple who got engaged in The Studio in 2019 stopped in to see us on Sunday and played TWO rooms (escaping one of them). Hugs were shared, tears were shed. We will miss being part of moments like this.

These were our 11 rooms. Here are our favorites. Which was yours?

Katie says: "Probably The Witch's Spell. Creating that space was so fun!"

Chris says: "The Time Tunnel. I am really proud of the tech I built in that room."

What. A. RIde. We are proud to present: the last Great Escapes Harford players!

Five fantastic escapes were the perfect way to end this amazing experience.

3 wins in The Toy Store (with 3 min 15 left; with 7 min 44 seconds left; and with 10 min 41 seconds left);

1 victory in The Time Tunnel (with about 7 min left);

And 1 triumph in Uncle Malky’s room with a little over 10 min left.

Our other groups needed a teensy bit more time to get ’er done, but we didn’t mind a bit. Fun has always been our #1 goal.

Thanks to every single player who came today, and all those we ever hosted. It has been our pleasure to amuse, challenge and entertain you. Your kindness, enthusiasm and passion for puzzles made this one of the best adventures of our lives.

Keep on thinking creatively, following hunches and considering all ideas. Those are the keys to success in escape rooms and elsewhere!

What a wonderful sendoff from our plethora of players this steamy Saturday!

So awesome to see so many return guests today. We are truly overwhelmed with gratitude by the support from the community. ❤️

Three official escapes: 1 from The Witch’s Spell (with an exciting 15 seconds to spare!); and 2 from The Toy Store (one with 9 min left and using just one clue, and the other with a very impressive 16 min 42 seconds left 😮).

But as we have said from day one–what matters most is the very fun time had by all. Thanks so much for coming in!

Hard to believe (and harder to type) that tomorrow is our LAST day. Please join us for one final round of beat the locks. Only a few games available. We open at noon. C U then!

Ohhh the good old days...when players got locked in a serial killer's "basement" and saw sights like this.

The back wall in The Killer's Lair sure was creepy, right? Good stuff. Dang we had fun creating these environments for you!

The Killer's Lair was one of our first rooms, opening in September 2016 and closing in July 2018. We didn't track escape rates at first, but if memory serves, it was one of our most solvable rooms.

Our final fabulous Friday players had a fantastic night with 4 flawless ESCAPES!!

Oh how we will miss terrific evenings like this: The building buzzing with good ideas, the sounds of celebrating a successful solution…laughing, high fives…so much fun.

And such smarty pants we hosted!

2 groups beat the locks in The Time Tunnel, one with 5 min 57 seconds left and one with 4 min 29 seconds left. And there was a win in The Witch’s Spell (with 3 seconds left!); plus a victory in Uncle Malky’s room, with a most impressive 8 min 49 seconds left. Way to go guys!

Our other groups went just a teensy bit over the hour but had a blast 💥 too.
Thanks so much for joining us.

Tomorrow we are back at 12 and games
are booking fast. Reserve your spot and see if YOU have what it takes to make it out in time!

Flashback Friday--To that time when we had a game room with the quest to rescue a kidnapped rock star. 🎶 🤟🎤🎸🎶

The Studio opened in 2019 and was one of our most challenging rooms... but not THE MOST challenging one! It averaged a 20-25% escape rate.

Who remembers the MOST challenging room we had?

SQUEE!!!
It’s the rock star Dean Waylon!!
And YOU get to go backstage to meet him beginning this Thursday, July 25th!

Yep that’s right—-Booking is now OPEN for The Studio! So who will be the first to play??

Hip-hip hooray for a double ESCAPE Thursday! 👏 👏 👏 👍🏻 👍🏻

‘Great’ fun was had tonight (Heh. See what we did there?) by all of our guests with excellent escapes in Uncle Malky’s room (with about 4 min left on the clock), and The Witch’s Spell (with about a minute left on the clock); and most importantly, a good time had by all.

Thanks so much for playing everyone, with a big shout out to our friends from Escapades LLC escape room center in Elkton!

We are back in at 5pm tomorrow—almost sold out! So book soon if you want to join us. See you then!
