Q: How much does a breakout escape game experience cost?

Q: What is an escape game?
A: Escape games are real life adventures where you and your fellow players have an hour to break out of a room by cracking codes, solving riddles, piecing together puzzles and finding clues. The game originated in Japan and is based off escape the room video games created by Toshimitsu Takagi in 2005. Need more details?
