The UMass Biogeochem Lab had a fun time completing a puzzle escape room this evening- we even finished with a few minutes to spare! Highly recommended! @EscapePuzzled
#didyouknow? Curious about what an escape game might look like? A fan of watching people suffer (muahahaha!)? Check out a Youtube show called “Escape! With Janet Varney”, which locks famous celebrities in a room to solve puzzles.

Puzzled's "Find the Professor of the Occult" was the first escape room to be played in Antarctic! The great team at McMurdo station escaped last year! We're hoping to expand to the International Space Station, as soon as NASA returns our calls...
Speaking of Halloween entertainment, escape rooms as we know them were also partially inspired by the haunted house tours – they’ve got all the set dressing and props, but none of the puzzles.
Thank you for making Puzzled Escape Games is #1 onTripadvisor in Hampshire county things to do, and #3 in Massachusetts/Things to do/Fun activities and games!
Following up on last week's #DidYouKnow: The legendary Greek labyrinth (the first escape room!) inspired the hedge mazes of the wealthy English mansions in the 16th-19th centuries. Hedge mazes then inspired the corn mazes we still enjoy today around Halloween!
If you're looking for a small, fun activity to feature at your event, ask us about our mobile games! These 15-minute games, such as Escape the Detective's Desk, are a great addition to parties, wedding receptions, corporate events, or festivals!
In the Viking sagas, poets would use a form of riddle called a kenning -- essentially a predescessor to metaphor! See if you can figure out what nouns these kennings replace: sea steed, swan road, heaven's candle, mountain's rib #PuzzleoftheWeek
#DidYouKnow? The first ever “escape room” was the legendary Labyrinth of Greek myth, built by King Minos to imprison the ferocious Minotaur. It had a terrible escape rate—only one person ever made it out (the Athenian hero Theseus)
Trying to bring the team together? We offer some great team-building packages, which can include extra time in the room, a post-game debriefing and discussion, and a private room for snacks and refreshments afterward!
