In escape rooms, our typical clients are the 25 to 45 year-old
corporate team builders, and more recently because we
started marketing for this, birthday parties. So, we have a lot
of children's birthday parties and the kids really enjoy the
rooms. You can do our rooms ages 5 and up.

When I was young, I had a very curious mind and was
always trying to find puzzles and brain teasers that I could
do. We started with one escape room here in Georgetown.
We were looking for a space that was right on historic M
Street and walking distance to other bars and restaurants
because we knew we alone weren't a complete night out.

One thing that you end up finding in this room is just this
small, little laminate with a couple of little symbols on there.
And so, the idea is that this room is primarily focused on
communication. So, you're usually finding information in one
place and then finding another place to utilize it.

The rooms that we have here at Escape Room Live
Georgetown are also very themed. The outside of the
subway looks like you're entering into a subway. So, it's
always an immersive experience when you step into one of
my games.

Many of the escape rooms that we went to were, kind of,
dark and creepy and in basements, a little bit scary. I could
tell that a woman did not have their hand in it. So, what I
decided to do was bring escape rooms out of the dark. Get
rid of the zombies. Get rid of all the basement clandestine
type things and create a beautiful room that's scenically
pleasing and on theme and also have puzzles that were
doable and related to the theme.
((NATS))
You are on the right track. So, just continue to hold on that.

Sherlock's door is exactly 221B Baker Street. The door into
the wizard room is like a castle door. The door into Poe is a
historic door that would be on his home. And downstairs
here, Escape Room Live Georgetown, our mummy- themed
room looks like it's in a pyramid.

This is my third time in an escape room circle, second time
for him, and we enjoyed it. The puzzles were good. They
actually all meant something with the escape room itself.
So, it wasn't just random.

I really love hearing people laugh and cheer and have a
good time.
