A whisper of holiday magic is already in the air here in Monroe, and I have some BIG news. I am so very excited to announce that, thanks to the success of last year and the recurring requests to continue in 2025, The Bat and The Bee Escapes has officially partnered with the historic Belk Mansion once again this year to bring the holiday escape game to downtown Monroe! The Belk is an exciting venue that is always in high demand, so our spots are incredibly limited this season.

Join us for One Enchanted Night: The Hunt for Rudolph's Light, an unforgettable escape experience where you and your team of adventurers will be immersed in a magical holiday setting. You won't just solve puzzles, you will live the enchantment as the game takes you beyond the walls of the mansion and into the shops and establishments of historic downtown Monroe. This isn't just a booking; it's a key to a highly exclusive holiday memory that your group will talk about for years to come.

Your booking will reserve the entire mansion for your privacy and includes 4 beautiful bedrooms (each room sleeps 2) and 2 bathrooms. Your reservation includes not just the exciting escape game and an overnight stay in the stunning 120-year-old Belk Mansion, but also two full delicious meals during your visit.

To ensure the safety of all of our guests in this cherished historic home, due to the presence of a very low banister on the second floor, this experience is reserved for teens and adults only.

We sold out quickly last year and this year is even more limited, so act fast and gather up your team of 8 to book today! For those with smaller groups, never fear! I am happy to help you find other puzzle-loving adventure seekers (and future friends) who would want to join you so that you don't miss out on a night of festive fun this season!

After our exclusive pre-sale, these are the dates we still have available:

December:
Monday the 15th
Tuesday the 16th
Wednesday the 17th
Monday the 29th

January 2026:
Saturday the 3rd

Please send me a DM if you are interested in joining in on the fun!

Please note that, due to the extremely limited availability, unfortunately, I will be unable to hold dates this year.

Last weekend I was able to participate in Monreoberfest in downtown. I wanted to say thank you to all those who stopped by to play The Bat and The Bee's mini-escape game! I had a great time meeting y'all and I am excited to continue bringing these escape games to Monroe one way or the other. I wish I had taken more pictures of those who played, but here is a small sampling of the fun we had!! 🦇🧡🐝

What a blessing it is to be able to meet with other creators in my industry. It is truly one of my favorite things about the escape room industry as a whole...especially when they are asking wonderful as Tom and Nicole Jean Watson! Thanks for taking the time to grab a bite and talk shop! ❤️

One of my favorite parts of owning an escape room is being able to connect with others that are just as passionate about the industry as I am! That's why I regularly try to meet up with not only fellow owners, but also reviewers, enthusiasts and podcasters...or in this case, a 3-in-1 deal! They have played an instrumental role in moving the industry forward and I am so appreciative to them for that! I felt very blessed that they took time out of their busy schedule to meet up during their travels. If you are looking for escape room content, check out www.roomescapeartist.com and their adjacent podcast ! Also, if you love escape rooms, don't miss your chance to attend Remote 25 online this August 17-18! Please reach out if you have any questions and I can help point you in the right direction! (It should be noted that I am in no way affiliated with any of these! I am just a huge fan and support what they are doing!)
