TAKEOVER
A normal day at the office becomes a race for life when your experiment has taken over. You and your fellow scientists have been experimenting on a child with special abilities. She has finally had enough and has initiated a takeover. Now she is conducting the experiments…on you! Your group will be split into two opposing teams with identical puzzles. Both teams will have 40 minutes to complete all of the “tests”, but only one team can win.
* Recommended for ages 13+ (if younger than 13, must be accompanied by an adult.)
THE LOST EXPEDITION
Your team works for Strategos Enterprises which specializes in the excavation of unique areas. 200 years ago the remnants of an ancient society were discovered and the first expedition was sent to unearth Dig-site 413. No one returned and its location was lost…Until now.
Three days ago expedition two departed and yesterday communication with the team was lost. We need your team to complete the excavation of Dig-site 413 and bring back any artifacts you find.
* We control difficulty in The Lost Expedition. Props turn into puzzles as your group increases in size.
Recommended for 4-8 players. Advanced Difficulty.
THE NEIGHBOR
Your mission was simple: befriend your neighbor. After five years your assignment has changed. He’s made his discovery and the corporation wants it! Break into his house. Steal the discovery. Escape.

4 San Diego Adventurous Activities
Looking for an adventure in San Diego similar to Escape Rooms? Escape rooms throughout North America, Asia, Europe, Russia, and New Zealand share some common elements. In essence, it is a timed, physical puzzle that may or may not involve storytelling. The puzzles require strategy, cooperation, and hints to escape, and they are based on the video game genre “escape-the-room.” Although not an exhaustive list, common locations of escape rooms are space stations, prison cells, dungeons, laboratories, and shipwrecks.
The Origin of Escape Rooms
Our current digital age has left the information-overloaded population to once again seek out adventure in the physical world. The phenomena led to the success of escape rooms, and this is evidenced by a closer examination of their roots. Scrap Inc. in Japan was the first documented example where the concept of the digital escape room was transferred to a “lets do this in the real world” counterpart. Scrap Entertainment Inc. is a Kyoto-based event company managed by Takao Kato. The thirty-five-year-old entrepreneur opened Real Escape Game (Riaru Dasshutsu Ge-mu) in July 2007 for teams of 5-6 players. “I thought I could create my own adventure, a story, and then invite people to be a part of it,” said Kato.
