Event short description
Description >> Get ready to hop off an incredible cruise ship to enjoy a one-of-a-kind tropical beach vacation on a secluded island! While playing high spirited games & getting to know your cruise mates on the picturesque shore, you slowly start to notice the captain, crew & ship have vanished. Wait, where did they all go?? What started off as a relaxing beachside get-away has gradually turned into an exhilarating mission to get-away from the island and all the mysterious forces that want to keep you there!
Luckily, a super friendly & funny guide is available to lead everyone around the island in a quest to prove their worth. That said, it’s time to work together as a collective group, in small small teams & on your own to solve various styles of puzzles and mini-games to increase your chances of freedom! Each entertaining challenge requires you to easily collaborate with teammates, find creative ways to complete unique puzzles, and compete in wacky contests to showcase how amazing you are. What’s more, you can also show your worth by being funny, kind, creative, smart, enthusiastic, and more! Ultimately, the more you dazzle during this adventure, the better your chance to solve the final challenge and prove you’re worthy to leave the island!
To ensure even more comfortable connections within the group, new teams can be created throughout so you can easily have a blast with different folks. Whether you’re a fan of puzzles, games, laughing, or adventure, this experience is sure to make you smile wide, build camaraderie & keep you fully engaged throughout. So grab your brightest shirt and favorite sun hat (optional) and get ready to enjoy a one-of-a-kind “Beach Vacate-tion!”
**PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT YOUR NORMAL ESCAPE ROOM EVENT!! If you’re looking for an intense experience where small teams are sent to breakout rooms to work apart from the large group for an hour while experiencing the event through interactive websites or downloaded software, this is likely NOT for you. However, if you’re searching for an out-of-the-box event that adds the excitement & strategy of an escape room PLUS the laughs, challenges & social engagement from a game night, this soiree is the perfect match!
