Memento #7: Assorted Stickers
I’ve mentioned a few times before how stickers are one of my favorite escape room souvenirs. Simple, easy, and suitable to multiple purposes, stickers make a great way to remember a solved room.
Escape Room
Memento #6: City 13 (Oak Creek, WI) – Candy Factory Map
Today’s memento is an item from one of the more novel approaches to escape rooms in the area. City 13 is one of the biggest and most elaborate escape room venues in the midwest, if not the United States. They’re best known for their 4+ hour Save the City game, but Kandy Corps is quite novel as well.
Memento #5: Transworld 2022 Badge
I was excited about the opportunity to go to Transworld. Primarily known as a haunted house convention, Transworld also branches out into other interactive entertainment, most notably escape rooms.
Memento #4: Escape Room Passport Flyer
Looking through my odds and ends, I stumbled across a pretty interesting glimpse of a future that wasn’t to be – a flyer for the “Escape Room Passport” app. I picked up the flyer at EscapeRoomPassport’s booth at the escape room convention in August 2016.
Memento #3: Mindtrap Escape (Montgomery, IL) – Magnets
There are at least two noteworthy Mindtrap escape room businesses in the US – one in Illinois and the other in California. I’ve heard lots of good things about the California one, and I really enjoyed other rooms designed by the same people (Labyrinth Games in Nampa, ID), but today’s memento is from the Illinois one.
Memento #2: Edge of Escape (Zion, IL) – Flyer
Today’s memento brings me back more than five years. I last played a game at Edge of Escape in late 2018, beta testing the “Tunnels of London” game.
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.
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!
