Experience the Thrill of an Escape Room

Blog· Travel

When we were first planning our Oklahoma City weekend trip, we toyed with the idea of going to an escape room. I had heard about them before but wasn’t sure what I thought. If you haven’t heard of escape rooms before, they are taking the country by storm. An escape room is a physical adventure game where you are you put into a locked room. You must search throughout the room to find hints but the crazy part is putting all of the hints together to master a puzzle. The Escape Room OKC

My husband and I love adventures and play games constantly so we knew we would have a good time. We honestly didn’t know what we were walking into when we got to The Escape OKC. Escape Room OKC

The Escape OKC® is a new, simple, and fun live escape game, designed for small groups of 2-7 people. You get 60 minutes to climb a mountain of puzzles and mysteries in a room. The goal is simple yet challenging: get out in time! Else … you could be trapped inside forever! During this engaging and challenging game team members truly live and breathe in union for an hour.

Before entering the room, we couldn’t decide whether we would benefit or be at a loss that there were only two of us. Did more people mean that we would have more people thinking differently which could ultimately help us solve the puzzle? On the other hand, if there were a lot of people working on the same puzzle, would it be stressful if we weren’t all on the same page?

Upon entering the room, we weren’t given much info other than the plot line. Once we were locked in the room, a TV turned on and we got a short update and then a timer instantly turned on with 60:00 minutes counting down with dramatic music. Before you know it, we were both scavenging throughout the room trying to find a clue or anything that would help us try to make sense of what we were doing. Thankfully, within minutes we found some clues that got our brains working.

Unfortunately, the sixty minutes ended before we finished the puzzle but on the flip side we were on the very last step so we were close. I was a bit sad that we didn’t “escape” but now I know how much fun they are and plan on booking my next Escape Room experience soon.
The Escape OKC
If you’re in the Oklahoma City area, definitely stop by The Escape OKC for a puzzling adventure! They are located at 912 NW 3rd Street, Oklahoma City, OK. Our weekend in OKC was so much fun and I can’t wait to do it again, it was only a short trip north on highway 35. If you’re looking for a fun filled weekend, check out Adventure Road for lots of ideas.

Fun Things to do in Oklahoma City:

  • Go Whitewater Rafting in Oklahoma City at Riversport
  • Solve a mystery at Escape OKC
  • Stay in Luxury at the Skirvin Hilton
Have you been to an escape room? Did you solve the puzzle?

One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesse One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesses adapting and making things work! I was recently introduced to @savageburritos and I'm in love.  Savage Burritos is the love child of Uncle Julios so it you like UJ, you'll love Savage.  They are a delivery only service offering burritos and bowls from select Uncle Julio kitchens in DFW. We ordered a variety of items from burritos, bowls, queso and more. Every single item was bursting with flavor.

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to send a quick thank you for all the birthday love yesterday! Birthdays are not my favorite day but it was nice to hear from so many people. Here's to another year around the sun ❤
This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
