What we’re about
Have you played an Escape Room before? Maybe you've played 10...50...100...1000? This is the place for you!
For the uninitiated: Escape rooms, or escape games, are exciting hour-long adventure games that take place in rooms full of puzzles and mysteries. You and a squad of people work together to find clues and solve said puzzles, to try and escape before time runs out!

#### I see that I can donate to the group. What does that money go towards?
Your donations primarily go toward covering the Meetup platform fee, which costs $300 per year to keep our group active and running.
If we ever receive more than what’s needed for the platform fee, any extra funds may be used for:
- Occasional giveaways or special events
- Enhancing the group experience (e.g., social meetups after games)
