In reply to Kathryn. Kathryn, we haven't played a ton of games outside of Washington, DC, but we hope to later this year.

In reply to David Spira. Have you visited any rooms in the suburbs of DC? We have one in Leesburg, VA that we would love you to come see.

In reply to Dominique. Would love to. There are so many places we'd love to visit for escape rooms, food, history, architectural and natural wonders.

Oh so cool! As owners ourselves, it’s now nearly impossible for us to travel until we get a staff we can trust with keys, alarm codes and major management decisions. One day, though. Maybe Russia and Hungary – you guys want to come with? 🙂

In reply to Dominique.

We do this on a fairly low budget. We both travel for work with each other and tack on days.

Most of our other travel this year was for friend’s weddings… which we then turn into escape room fests.

And three of the winners were from our honeymoon. That was special and extravagant travel.

I’m amazed and envious, but not envious in an evil way, just in an, “I want to tag along with you guys” kind of way. Curious how you two can afford to travel so much (maybe you are internet billionaires, haha?). I traveled to one escape room last month an hour away, and the cost of the room, gas and dinner alone made me cringe. 🙂

Wow, so many rooms. (I am proud to say we did exactly half of what you guys did though!) Thanks for this list, the only one we have been to is the Alchemist, which is still our #1 favorite room. You just gave me 12 more must sees (well, probably not getting to Australia anytime soon though…) Look forward to next year’s list!

152 room escapes in one year? (Hello, Mr. Ripley?) I would tell you guys to get a life, but I know you actually have lives, and rich ones. Happy 2017!
