The Glenwood Escape Room has a new location and brand-new rooms for players to navigate and attempt to escape from before their time runs out.<\/p>\n

According to Glenwood Escape Room Co-owner Ken Murphy, a few misconceptions about the growing industry continue to persist.<\/p>\n

\u201cEscape rooms aren\u2019t claustrophobic,\u201d Murphy said. \u201cWe\u2019re not trying to scare you. \u2026It\u2019s not a haunted house.\u201d<\/p>\n

Instead, teams of between two and generally six players work together to solve puzzles and decipher clues, hopefully, before their 60-minute time limit expires.<\/p>\n

Previously, the Glenwood Escape Room was situated in the 900 block of Grand Avenue but has since relocated to 923 Cooper Ave.<\/p>\n

\u201c[In] our old facility, our lobby wasn\u2019t very interactive. It was, sit there and wait.\u201d Murphy said. \u201cOne of the highlights of this new lobby is, we\u2019ve made it very interactive.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to Egyptian relics, the Glenwood Escape Room\u2019s lobby features key mazes and puzzles that players can practice on before their actual countdown clock begins.<\/p>\n

The three new escape rooms include one with a Christmas theme, another Murphy described as \u201cPG-13,\u201d and an elevator.<\/p>\n

Taking place on Dec. 24, at first glance, nothing about the holiday-themed room\u2019s stockings, cozy fireplace and Christmas tree appear out of the ordinary.<\/p>\n

However, once the timer starts, the unsuspecting holiday room quickly turns into \u201cChristmas Chaos.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s called Christmas Chaos, which we all have in our family,\u201d Murphy said. \u201cStanding in here you wouldn\u2019t realize all that\u2019s going on.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Christmas Chaos certainly caters to the holiday season, things get a little darker, literally, in the escape room\u2019s Serial Doctor room.<\/p>\n

Geared more toward teenagers and adults, players must escape from a deranged \u201cdoctor\u2019s\u201d lair by using a variety of senses.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to get all of your different senses working together,\u201d Murphy said. \u201cOr, working against each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

The final room, which Murphy hopes to open by Christmas, includes the Elevator.<\/p>\n

In the elevator, players take on the role of Fortune 500 Company executives trapped with a ticking time bomb.<\/p>\n

According to Murphy, thus far roughly 40-percent of players have successfully completed Christmas Chaos whereas just 27-percent have finished the Serial Doctor escape room.<\/p>\n

Co-owner and game master Logan Bartek, who gives clues to stumped players along the way, said he tries to make each team\u2019s experience as unique as possible.<\/p>\n

Especially, when teams range from corporate parties to bachelor and bachelorette parties.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to make it fun, not frustrating,\u201d Bartek said.<\/p>\n
