Last year, WISE: Women Inspiring Success & Empowerment - Central IL awarded TWENTY-ONE scholarships for local women & 32 pairs of shoes through the Kicks for Kids program. All of these funds were raised from their annual Spring Fashion Show (Facebook Event Page - https://www.facebook.com/share/1M91KKJA2B/). We are happy to support their cause once again!

We hope you peeped a little Behind Locked Doors surprise announcement inside our shoutout...
"This summer, BLD will debut their Mobile escape game, known as "The Expansion Pack". This 30-minute escape game, built inside of a pull-behind trailer, can be rented for a variety of events! Any interested parties can email [email protected] to be placed on a list for contact once the pricing guide has been announced."

We welcome another female-owned sponsor today for WISE's 2026 6th Annual Spring Fashion Show! From 2022-2024, Behind Locked Doors, LLC - Taylorville donated to the silent auction for every WISE Fashion Show, but last year upgraded to the tailored blazer sponsorship! We are happy to announce they have committed to the same sponsorship for this year's fashion show.
Owner Tyler Frump & Manager Kayla MaGraw are the president & vice president of WISE: Women Inspiring Success & Empowerment - Central IL, respectively, and have dedicated countless hours to making this fundraiser a success. Behind Locked Doors is an escape room that opened its doors in April of 2017 in Taylorville, Illinois. An escape room is a live-entertainment game that allows up to 10 players in a party to be "locked" in a themed room. Teams have just 60 minutes to solve as many puzzles, riddles & clues as possible in order to "escape"! Behind Locked Doors, often referred to as BLD, is locally owned & operated and pride themselves on creating unique clue & game designs through intensive research and immersion. Both women are also the game masters and take a "hands-on" approach when it comes to running the games. Enjoy undivided attention and care to your reservation paired with exceptional customer service. Last, but certainly not least, these ladies wish to make their entertainment affordable for all, so they are currently the cheapest escape room on the Central Illinois market and across the escape room industry!
Their location is open by appointment only, and currently offers 5 different themes to select from, so be sure to visit their website at www.behindlockeddoorsllc.com! The frequently asked questions tab addresses nearly every inquiry they have ever received, and a reservation can be easily placed under the "Book Now!" tab!
We also received EXCLUSIVE information! This summer, BLD will debut their Mobile escape game, known as "The Expansion Pack". This 30-minute escape game, built inside of a pull-behind trailer, can be rented for a variety of events! Any interested parties can email [email protected] to be placed on a list for contact once the pricing guide has been announced.
Thank you, BLD, for once again supporting the WISE's 2026 6th Annual Spring Fashion Show!

We have a lot of jokes about money, we just can’t think of of one ATM. 😜

Our theme Breaking the Bank is set inside the United Bank of Taylorville, where we have hella money. As the kids say, no brokeys allowed! 🙅‍♀️

Introducing... The Expansion Pack!
This mobile trailer is a 30-minute escape room and is available for a limited time to attendees of Homecoming 2025 at Culver-Stockton College/Culver-Stockton College Alumni. Behind Locked Doors (BLD) is owned and operated by Culver-Stockton Alum Tyler Frump '17 & '18. She opened locations in 2016 in Quincy, IL & in 2017 in Taylorville, IL during her senior year of undergrad. In 2018, BLD manager & Culver-Stockton Alum Kayla MaGraw '17 hosted a mobile escape game in the newly built Brown Resident Hall. The Quincy location employed several CSC students over the years before closing its doors in the summer of 2019. Tyler & Kayla continue to create & design their escape room games at the Taylorville location, which has grown and expanded significantly under their care. This mobile trailer escape room is the latest in their game creations! Behind Locked Doors will soon have pricing available for the Expansion Pack to travel to your event's location, including birthday parties, work team bonding, student groups & teams, fundraisers, weddings, and more.
Behind Locked Doors will be in the CSC Homecoming Parade in Canton, MO on Saturday, October 25th at 9am. Information slips will be passed out to anyone interested!

We want to give ANOTHER shoutout to Bound by Barrett for choosing to partner with Taylorville Food Pantry! The love they have for their community is truly astounding and we commend their effort to give back however they can. Bound by Barrett is donating 10% of the profit from ANY and ALL sales made in October to the Taylorville Food Pantry! Be sure to order from Bound by Barrett in THE MONTH OF OCTOBER so your sale benefits hungry families in your town. Plus, it's never too early to get some Christmas shopping off of your list... or maybe just get something for yourself as a treat for all that hard work you've been putting in lately 😉

As a reminder, Behind Locked Doors vows to remain committed to the Taylorville Food Pantry. We are and will continue to always be closed on Thursday evenings. Owner Tyler Frump & manager Kayla MaGraw give back to their community by donating their time and energy to running the front desk for patrons of the Thursday distributions. The two lovely ladies have already donated over 150 hours in 2025 alone!

Here's your chance at a free Behind Locked Doors gift certificate! Follow the instructions on this shared post to be entered into this rare giveaway.
Be sure to visit the Facebook of Bound by Barrett for other incredible giveaways from other local small businesses in Taylorville!

As promised… OCTOBER GIVEAWAY INFO

On top of raising funds for Taylorville Food Pantry, I’ll also be giving away a gift certificate for Behind Locked Doors, LLC - Taylorville! This cert entitles you to bring someone along and give one of their escape room themes a go!

After speaking with the owner, I have been cautioned that 3 or more participants is the most effective and the most fun- so while your certificate allows you to compete in the room with just 2, I would suggest you bring along a couple more friends/ family and make an afternoon out of it, HOW FUN! 🤩

**Additional participants (outside the 2 covered by the certificate) will need to purchase their entry**

This would be a great treat for yourself OR an awesome gift to pass along!

Drawing opens 10/01/25 and closes 10/25/25!
