Home / About

We don’t buy our games.

“We are one of the only escape rooms in Boise that design and build all of our escape rooms in house.”

How the rooms are built

“We own the story, the puzzle, the mechanism and the fix.”
Sean Ainsley, TVER blog, “How Great Escape Rooms Are Designed”, 22 July 2026

“The story, layout, puzzles, props, electronics, lighting, audio and reveals are developed as one system.”

“A spectacular reveal that works 70 percent of the time is not spectacular. It is an appointment with a screwdriver.”

“The rooms reflect what we have learned from playing more than 200 games and from watching thousands of groups play ours.”

“People often ask where we buy our escape rooms. The answer is that we do not.”

Local, and a little obsessed.

“Our owners live in the Boise area and are extreme escape room enthusiasts! They’ve played well over 200 escape rooms.”
