No, not in a rash or into that song by Swing Out Sister. We escaped from one of Breakout Games' rooms.
Daphne has wanted to try an escape room for some time. I bought her a three month subscription to Escape the Crate last Christmas, and that allowed us to try the experience at home. It's not the same as being placed in a foreign room and given a timer that doesn't stop when the phone rings or when Earl jumps into the sink to "clean" the plates.
Breakout Games in Urbandale has two family-friendly escapes, and we tried the Island Escape, "While vacationing on a tropical island, you awake to the sounds of a dormant volcano rumbling to life. The only people still on the island, you and your team are left to your own devices and must work together to discover the keys to safety before the lava reaches shore. Bring your inner explorer out to play for this adrenaline-packed, all-ages adventure."
As you can see, we were able to break out with 1:55 left on the clock. The Island Escape was family-friendly, and Char only screamed once. I don't want to ruin the surprises for anyone, so all I'll say is that we had a great time, and Char wanted to do the other escape room right away, "Like tomorrow, maybe?"
I think we'll save that for a day when the weather isn't so nice.
