"A gentleman took the term 'thinking outside the box' to a whole new level by climbing through the air ventilation space in the ceiling and got himself stuck up there!"
"He literally tried to make his way out of the box, it may have seemed like a good idea at the time to him, until he got stuck up there for 20 minutes"
"The craziest thing that we have had to deal with is we once had a group of three young girls who remained in one corner of the first stage of one of our rooms throughout the 45 minutes"
"...Which is crazy because we add background noise (i.e: people screaming, etc) in our rooms to add a sense of excitement to our games"

Thinking it was the last missing piece to the puzzle, she picked it up and unknowingly opened the latch to a heartfelt proposal

"The Slaughter House is probably the best room in Escape Room because the puzzles were really challenging and unexpected. We went in and sort of expected it to be like the other 5-star room we did (Pirate Ship), but this was much harder - and much more worth the money too."
