Birthday Escape

Last Saturday we finally were able to celebrate Jeff's birthday. They had a party planned for the first Saturday of the month, but had to cancel due to snow. We began by meeting up with everyone at Trap Door, an escape room in Eugene. I hadn't ever done an escape room before and it was a lot of fun. As you can imagine, they don't allow pictures inside the room, so the only picture I have is the group picture they posted on Facebook. For the same reason, I won't talk too much about the specifics of the room. But the basic idea is that we were locked in a room and had to solve puzzles to escape. Don't worry, there's a panic button so if you need to leave you can push the button and the door unlocks.


This room was themed as a mystic's lair and it was well done; there was a whole story to go with how we got into the room and how we were trying to get out. The decorations and theme were put together well and looked good. The puzzles we had to solve were interesting and engaging. It was challenging, but we were able to figure everything out and unlock the door in just 45 minutes (we had an hour), so we felt like it was maybe a bit too easy. But we did have a large group, which was helpful in this situation. Overall, we had a good time and I would like to try another escape room sometime.

After we finished escaping from the mystic, we headed for Jeff and Lauren's house for dessert and games.
