What are “Escape the Room” Games?
Escape the Room games began as digital adventures and quickly turned into real-life
events all around the world. In both versions, players are locked in a room and must
uncover clues and hidden objects to ultimately escape the room. inkFun’s Escape
the Room events allow you to bring all the fun and excitement of this experience
to your very own home, WITHOUT actually locking anyone in a room, of course!
e event is designed so even the host can participate. ere’s not much to do to
prepare, just invite a few guests and be ready to have some fun as you solve puzzles
and unscramble the mystery.
Welcome
Welcome Escape the Room Host, to this new interactive mystery for groups
of three to eight. You and your guests will spend the evening as characters in a
story solving clever puzzles in order to unravel the mysterious happenings at the
Stargazer’s Manor.
In the story:
It’s 1869 and you are the recently-dismissed caretaker of the Stargazer’s
Manor. You will be inviting your friends to join a secret investigation into
the behavior of the well-known and respected astronomer in your small
seaside town. The astronomer began acting very strangely after the passing
of his wife several years ago, eventually disappearing into his estate. And
now, strange things seem to be happening outside of his home—loud
and unfamiliar noises, an unpleasant smell, smoke billowing from the
observatory. You and your friends are on a mission to find out what is
going on at the Stargazer’s Manor. But be careful, in the end, you may be
the ones that need saving…
As the host of this event, it will be your role to invite friends, setup for the
evening, and walk your guests through the introductory part of the story. After the
introduction, you will join your friends in unraveling the story, and participate in
solving the mystery and escaping the room.
