About Us

A person can get instantly hooked, just as I did, after my first Escape Room experience, in Sacramento, many years ago. I couldn't stop thinking about what just happened in that whirlwind of time, and had to replay and memorize all the pathways to completing all the puzzles in my head. Thank goodness my team went to dinner before, as I would have been dreadfully famished as my adrenaline was clearly maxed out after that super fun, vampire themed, gem of an Escape Room. As a longtime fan of entertaining people by making scavenger and treasure hunts and haunted houses for my family and friends for Easter, birthdays and other events, it was only natural, probably, that I gravitated towards escape room creation and design. 

I strive to provide a wonderful experience, in the hopes of bringing families and friends closer together through game play. Life is stressful enough - so let's leave that behind us, and run towards the fastest hour of our lives!  Let's play like carefree children at the park! With this in mind, I ask that you adventure to experience these meticulously designed rooms. It is a gift I bestow upon you, my new friends, family, and anyone who is daring and curious enough to sample the unusual. So bring your smile, ditch the cell phones, prepare to challenge your mental acuity, and let's have ourselves a blast in fabulous downtown Auburn, California!
