We gladly helped out and immediately got into it. I don't consider myself competitive but I was flying down to that last lock and then someone beat me. My partner kept turning this box over I was trying to work on and the final clue was inside the box and she kept turning it over. I was a bit miffed! It takes a lot of planning so kudos to anyone who can do it successfully.

I have a good friend whose sons are setting up a commercial Escape Room in Shreveport(LA). I know they visited other cities to see how others construct theirs. My friend is a poet and she is writing some of the clues. My friend said the biggest hassle has been just getting different inspectors in to approve each phase of the building they are overhauling for the escape room. Maybe your daughter and SIL have the right idea--keep it private.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06666609213171939599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755001368713174831.post-90045975109600022012018-04-09T14:06:50.104-05:002018-04-09T14:06:50.104-05:00How fun!
