A WARDROBE? OR IS IT MORE...

of the games is watching how
people interact together in the
rooms.
“You really see people’s
strengths and how they
interact with each other,”
Jillian says. “Even though it’s
the same puzzles that they’re
doing in the same rooms,
people don’t react or work
together the same way.”
So what is the secret to
escaping the rooms? Jillian
and Brandon’s advice is to
communicate with one another,
take advantages of hints, and
think outside of the box.
“Communication is very
important,” Jillian says. “We’ve
had people before where they
got a hint and then they hid it
from the rest of the group and I
didn’t really understand why…
Communication is much better.
Always be really observant
of everything. If you see
anything that you think might
be something, take a note on it,
write it down, tell your group
mates. Don’t be afraid to think
outside of the box.”
The games are designed to
be fun for anyone. “We see a
lot of people come through,”
Brandon explains. “College
students, young adults,
birthday parties, families.”
They can even adjust the
difficulty of the rooms for the
younger patrons.
Tickets are $18 and
can be booked online at
padlockescapegames.com. The
games work best with four
to nine people, although it is
possible to solve them with
less. You can leave the room at
any time if uncomfortable, but
will not be allowed to return
to your group after. Groups
who escape will be able to
purchase an exclusive t-shirt
as well.
So what are you waiting
for? Grab your friends,
teammates, coworkers, or
family members and try to
escape! Your challenge is to
beat INSITE’s time of 55
minutes and 56 seconds. Good
luck!
