On the verge of returning to Denver for the first time since early November 2018, I noticed a strange quirk on my escape room tracker- I haven’t commented on any escape room experiences I completed since then! Since November I’ve been writing about experiences from earlier in 2018, of which I still have plenty more to document.
I know I’m a bit delinquent in posting a new puzzle this week, but this time around, I have a good reason- Christina and I are engaged! And before you ask, no, I did not propose in an escape room. 🙂
I remember reading a puzzle like this in some puzzle book or another. I’m not sure where, so I can’t give credit where it’s due, but someone out there did a good job making a puzzle that’s fun to think through.
It’s been a little while since I’ve posted anything related to my opinions on escape room design. This weekend I had an interesting juxtaposition of experiences which helps to explain why I don’t like making blanket statements about the quality of rooms or choosing favorites.
This week I had to bounce back from a long stretch of being under the weather. Results were mixed. I played trivia at a bar and by two minor misfortunes my team notched our first ever ZERO total. Not our day, but that’s fine- I did learn a few new things and it was still fun.
I’m finally on the mend, and of course the first thing I want to do when I’m feeling better is to fulfill my promise to get a puzzle out there. Still not quite near 100%, but every day is better. If you don’t like my puzzle this week, blame that.
I hate having to start with an apology, but sorry for the late riddle this week. On the bright side, I’ve still got some unsolved puzzles which can be viewed all together by this link.
July 30, 2018 – I opened the day on a somewhat tight timetable, with goals to tackle escape rooms in Maryland, Virginia, and DC on the 30th, as well as to explore many of Washington’s incredible museums and monuments. The train to Silver Springs was out of commission, but thankfully it was easy enough to get to Silver Springs on a bus and walk to Big Escape Rooms.
Last week we had multiple correct answers submitted- first was Scott S, followed by Jon C. The answer will be updated on that puzzle page! This week’s puzzle weaves in something I learned while traveling around the US. It may help if you know (or research) details about each of these places.
I mentioned it in a previous post, but last weekend, March 23-24, I took a very quick journey to St. Louis and back. Between the morning of March 23 and the afternoon of March 24, I solved nine escape rooms. Even for an enthusiast, it felt like a lot, but I have no regrets!
