The creative person wakes in the morning, pours a cup of coffee, and sits down the the typewriter. Then they begin to type out Don Quixote or Wuthering Heights or whatever while bathing in a warm glow of ecstatic exuberance and complete love for their work. They feel great and they know they are gre...
Most escape rooms are a series of puzzles you and your team solves. Many of the puzzles are matching based.

But if you lifted a house then you would feel really awesome, right? What power and strength! But most gyms are the same. There...
While this seems pretty-self explanatory, there might be more to be made of it. When I think drawer, I think more like a hinged door similar to an automat. But it could also be a drawer. The stuff could tell a story. Artifacts, letters, etc. Maybe choosing drawers chooses your fate. Maybe some drawe...
What is this? Patrons get to discuss. Inside the museum are various items and parts of items. There might be blurry photos of items or people or places.
