Escape the Framed
**Framed:** Your friend has been convicted of brutally murdering his girlfriend. He was sentenced to Execution by Gas Chamber. In his final hour, he still maintains that he has been framed for the murder but no one will believe him. You and his closest friends are his last chance at survival. Do you have what it takes to diffuse the bomb, find a way to break into prison and disable the gas chamber before it activates? You are his last hope! Good Luck. We offer a selection of different games that are fully immersive and as close to a real-life escape room experience as it gets. You are put into an actual escape room and able to control the environment as if you were moving around and interacting with the props. You can input codes, activate secret hidden doors and solve the puzzles and try to beat the clock. The best part about these games is that we can accommodate any group size at the same time! Every player will be able to interact in the environment at the same time. It's a unique gameplay that gets everyone involved. Go beyond with exercises that stimulate creative thought, synergy, and efficiency. Through a myriad of puzzles, hidden clues and mind games, teams will be encouraged to rely on each others’ individual strengths to succeed.
