Whether you’re on a family outing, a night out with friends, a teambuilding activity, or a date night, an escape room experience offers a chance to flex those puzzle-solving skills and embark on an adventure together.
First-timer? Here are four reasons to grab a group and don your thinking caps.
1. Creative puzzles – Sudokus and crosswords can be fun, but exercising your problem-solving skills with more than just paper and pen can launch things to a whole new level. Completing escape rooms utilizes your analytical skills, deductive reasoning, and creativity to gradually unlock more and more. Here in Renton, Sure Lock Escape features two unique and meticulously crafted rooms: Pirate Shipwreck and Abandoned Mineshaft. A local mom-and-pop shop, owners and designers Beth and Nathan Linden are avid puzzle-solvers themselves. While most escape room experiences are 60 minutes, Sure Lock Escape’s features so much content that the sessions extend to 70 minutes.
2. Teamwork – As we become immersed in the digital world, physically speaking to one another seems more and more like a thing of the past. In an escape room, with the clock ticking down as you race towards the final goal, communication becomes essential. Whether you embark on your journey with family, friends, co-workers, or a date, the experience will offer invaluable teambuilding.
3. Striking Visuals – Sure Lock Escape is the first and only escape room in Renton. A real hidden gem, this experience is much more than just lockboxes, codes and keys. From the pine planking of a ship’s hull, to glittering mine caverns, the careful attention to detail put into these rooms will make you feel like you’re an actor on a Hollywood movie set.
4. Accessibility – From seasoned puzzle master to average Joe, anyone can enjoy escape rooms. People will often think they’re not smart enough, too old, or too young for these games. But that’s simply not the case. Every escape room needs different types of players, who bring unique skills to the table. Every step of the way, people’s individual strengths shine, all while you discuss solutions and overcome challenges as a team. And at any time during the session, the Game Master is available to provide step-by-step assistance.
Two more rooms – rainforest and underwater themed – are opening soon. Pricing starts at $35 per player. Learn more, or book your escape today at surelockescapes.com
