As we wandered the bustling streets, we couldn&#8217;t help but notice the abundance of flyers advertising escape games. Intrigued, we decided to try one out, and it only took 20 minutes into our inaugural game for me to realize that this was more than just a passing interest \u2013 it was a passion waiting to be explored. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Approaching our remarkable 10-year milestone, our journey has been nothing short of exhilarating. Over the years, we&#8217;ve poured our hearts and souls into crafting nine distinct scenarios, each one a testament to our shared creativity and dedication. Notably, one of our projects took us to Comic-Con, where we collaborated on an escape room experience inspired by the acclaimed TV show, \u201cThe Expanse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> In our dynamic partnership, Marketa&#8217;s boundless imagination breathes life into our rooms through her meticulous design work, while I channel my passion for storytelling and puzzle creation into crafting captivating narratives and challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our latest venture pushes the boundaries of traditional escape room experiences by blending immersive decor with the adrenaline-fueled excitement of video game-style challenges. With the goal of achieving the highest score, players are transported into a world where every decision counts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The opportunity to collaborate with two esteemed escape room owners was a dream come true, one we simply couldn&#8217;t pass up. It&#8217;s with great anticipation and enthusiasm that we announce the upcoming launch of &#8220;It&#8217;s A Blast,&#8221; set to open its doors in the vibrant city of Las Vegas in the spring of 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we embark on this new chapter, we&#8217;re filled with excitement and determination to create an unparalleled escape room experience that will leave players exhilarated and eager for more. Join us on this thrilling adventure, where every twist and turn brings us closer to unlocking the ultimate adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"support-repod\">Support REPOD<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/patreon.com\/roomescapeartist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Subscribe to Patreon for bonus content<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Please rate and review our podcast!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for listening!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Support Room Escape Artist&#8217;s Mission<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are lots of ways to support Room Escape Artist, like buying from <a aria-label=\"Amazon (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/shop\/roomescapeart\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Amazon<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.awin1.com\/cread.php?awinmid=6220&amp;awinaffid=651019&amp;ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.etsy.com%2F\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Etsy<\/a> after clicking into the links included in this post or backing us on <a aria-label=\"Patreon (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/roomescapeartist\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Patreon<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The money that we make from these helps us to grow the site and continue to add more value to the community that we love so much. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Our love language is building together.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":142077,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[586398298,586398083,586398387],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-142079","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-reality-escape-pod","category-san-diego","category-steal-and-escape"],"acf":[],"is_reblog":null,"post_id":null,"blog_id":null,"_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":"586398298","yoast-structured-data-blocks-images-cache":null,"_yoast_wpseo_focuskw":"escape room podcast","_yoast_wpseo_linkdex":"53","_yoast_wpseo_content_score":"30","_yoast_wpseo_metadesc":"Podcast interview with Jason & Marketa Richard, owners of Steal and Escape in San Diego.
