This month NM Escape Room had the opportunity to attend the Haunted House Association Trade Show in St. Louis, MO.This is and has been the biggest haunted attraction trade show in the U.S. for the past 20 or so years, and now it has taken on the escape game industry. It’s a one stop shop of sorts where vendors, designers, instructors, enthusiasts, and customers can mingle and commerce. Three members of our NM Escape Room team attended the show and a few seminars to learn and bring back new knowledge and skills to help improve what we bring to the community here in the […]

There are many, many escape rooms popping up all over the world offering a variety of themes, game play styles, and puzzles. Your traditional – ha, have they really been around long enough to justify the description, traditional?- escape games are largely lock and key based, where clues are hidden or locked up with a combination or key lock of some sort and the players must find the codes to unlock them in order to progress in the game. The theming or settings in these games vary slightly, but are largely an office setting with little immersion factor. That said, these games […]

Sadly, we have decided to retire our Unpublished scenario. It had a good run for a full year. This will make a great deal of folks sad, but that one guy who yelled, “It Sucked!” upon not beating the room will be quite pleased to see it go. On a happier note, we have a new scenario designed to take its place! We hope to have the build completed by the end of January 2017. This room will include a bit more tech than our other scenarios, but will still offer the challenging puzzles and thematic setting and back story that our fans […]

One of the coolest things we get to witness is families reuniting at our NM Escape Room during the holidays. We see all generations of one family come together to play a game. It is reminiscent of the family board game nights that were popular when I was growing up. I know that families still practice this ritual of fun and togetherness, but in addition to that, they are now playing escape room games. It always warms our hearts to see the grandmother so encouraging and proud of her grand child as he/she puzzles through the escape room game. And to see grandpa directing […]

Team building opportunities: something we planned to offer from the inception of this company, but the response has been positively overwhelming! We knew we would need to get the word out about us and this new opportunity for team building in our city, but we weren’t aware of just how great the need was and is for this type of team building. The New Mexico Escape Room is one of the few, local facilities where teams actually have to work together to complete the tasks and puzzles and accomplish a successful room escape (while being locked in a room together, AND within […]

It’s beginning to get a bit spooky around here! The New Mexico Escape Room’s Cabin scenario-room is the perfect excuse to get the seasonal fright out of your system. This scenario has that creepy, dark feel and also induces some blood curdling screams along the way. On top of the creep factor, the game itself tells the story of the notorious serial killer who goes by the pseudonym, Simon Says. Small pieces of his disturbed life are revealed as you unravel the mystery and unlock his dark secrets. He’s taunted you with a message boasting a latest victim who is […]

Back to school season is here! Ugh! My kiddos are almost grown, but the back to school season still reminds me of a stressful time. The hustle and bustle begins again with school supplies and clothes shopping, fees for this and that, sports tryouts, and just getting back into the Fall schedule amongst other things… it’s just a busy time. Amidst all this back to school business, we do see an increase in college-aged students and their families attending NM Escape Room. It’s usually a last attempt at some family fun before they return to their colleges and universities most […]

Have you ever thought about planning a family outing for your family at the New Mexico Escape Room? Well, before you do, we’d like to share some thoughts…. especially for any ultra-competitive families out there! 😉 When spending an hour locked in a room together, it’s safe to say, that your inner-family dynamics have a lovely way of escaping. If you family is a laugh-loving family, oh dear goodness! Be prepared for laughter galore! If your family is a family that normally argues about everything, then it’s likely you will probably argue about everything in the escape room. Or, maybe you’re […]
