Breakout Louisville
Last week I was able to check something off my bucket list.
Escape rooms.
My friend arranged an escape room experience at Breakout Louisville. I have to admit, I was a little nervous about it all. It was something I had never done before and I tend to get nervous about new things. Thankfully we had a couple girls who had attempted an escape room before. Plus, there was six of us.
We were"locked" in a room. (Thank goodness for safety reasons they don't actually lock us in... This in itself was a small comfort.) The game began with an hour on the clock and a few directions. We quickly set to finding clues and unlocking a series of locks that allowed us entry into another part of the room's puzzle. Reading. Codes. Math. Chess. Clocks. It's was thrilling.
We could ask for hints when we needed and the game masters gave vague enough hints that we still had to do a lit of thinking to figure out the next steps. The countdown clock ticked on a screen in the room, changing colors several times and sounding a faint alarm to warn us that time was running out. Time flew by and adrenaline was high. The last few minutes were insane. Our hands were shaking with excitement. We were running around, laughing, frantically trying to finish before time was out.
And yes, we made it. With two short minutes to spare, we made it.
It was so much fun and we laughed a lot. The hour was a great bonding experience and it was cool to see how everyone used their strengths to help get the job done. It is be a great memory I will cherish forever!
If you haven't tried an escape room, I highly recommend it. Get your friends together. Take your family along. Make it a co-worker bonding experience. It's a creative way to spend time with friends, work your brain, have a blast, and try something new!
