Memento #1 – 60 to Escape / Cheesie’s Pizza Party
Today’s memento is from 60 to Escape in Schaumburg, IL, located within Woodfield Mall. I received these items after completing Cheesie’s Pizza Party.
Escape Room
Carnival Venezia: New York to Bahamas
The start of our nine day cruise to the Bahamas has been a bit of a whirlwind. Three days in, and it simultaneously feels like we’ve been here for a while and we’re just getting started.
ERChamp 2023 Finals Completed!
ERChamp 2023 is in the books, and it was a blast. I didn’t know what to expect for the coverage of the in-person finals, but the team did a great job, and it was tremendously entertaining.
Accidental 600th
I completed my 600th escape room. At the time, I didn’t know it was my 600th escape room. C’est la vie!
Bethlehem, PA: Escape.exe – Neon Tokyo (Resistance)
The last time I visited Escape.exe, in April 2021, Neon Tokyo was coming soon. After the experience I had in the first room, Site: 117, Neon Tokyo was a must-visit, and the next time Christina and I needed to drive to the east coast, we made sure our path took us past Escape.exe.
Congrats on 200 Rooms!
What do you do for someone who reaches an escape room milestone? I periodically went out of my way to do something special for mine- my 300th room was at a port of call in Mexico, and my 500th was a four hour deluxe game. When my dad reached #199, I knew I wanted to do something special for his.
Branson, MO: Escape Code – Secret Passage
March 20, 2022 – I’ve been lucky to have the opportunity to play some really cool escape rooms on my birthday in the past, and 2022 was no exception. Escape Code in Branson has placed well in the USA Today escape room rankings, and I was curious to see what it was all about.
Oak Creek, WI: City 13 Escape – Save the City
September 7, 2021- For my 500th escape room, I wanted to do something special. Thankfully, I live less than two hours from one of the most ambitious and impressive escape room experiences out there- a four hour “Save the City” experience at City 13 Escape in Oak Creek, WI, touted as the world’s largest escape game.
Nampa, ID: Labyrinth Escape Games – Shipwrecked & Nightwalker 1944
October 11, 2021 – It was the last full day of our tour around the American west, and we still had a long way to go. We started the day in Klamath Falls, Oregon, and we had a reservation at a VRBO in Boise, Idaho. Everything in between was a blank slate. But as I looked to my plan for the day, I realized I really wanted to squeeze in a room at Labyrinth Escape.
March 20: Big Day
I really could not care less about my birthday. I can barely remember my age, so it feels strange to celebrate when it hits a milestone. In spite of that, I had an excellent time on the day that just happened to be my birthday!
