Liesl had so much fun participating in an escape room for AJ's birthday that she requested a return visit as a family adventure. We are in a brief, shining moment where the weekdays are jam-packed with practices and games, but some weekend days are actually open, so we went today at noon.
The theme we picked was Portlandia, and it was really, really fun. There were maps and puzzles, locks, a giant game of bingo and of connect-4, an ancient tape player, an even more ancient viewfinder, a hidden room with a ball pit, and so much more. The story behind the room was that our annoying roommate, Steve, has hidden the rent money in our apartment, and we need to find it. We had fun working together and unlocking locks and discovering clues.
In the end, we needed 15 extra minutes to find the hidden stash of cash, but we did and were really happy. (Actually, we pressed a button and a giant vacuum sucked the play money up a tube and shot it into the air, which startled me so much that I screamed like a little girl.)
