Had an absolute blast in the Old Jail room. Participated with one other person, and couldn’t quite make the time, but soooo much damn fun overall. Eli was a great game master, and assisted us with a few clues where we got stuck. Definitely looking forward to running another game!…

Visited with my college roommates for a reunion weekend. We did the Old Jail — the time-travel setup sounds gimmicky but it actually works really well. Being 'framed prisoners' trying to reach the sheriff's office gave everyone a clear shared goal. We escaped with literally one minute left. 10/10 chaos.
