As October rolls around, bringing with it a crisp chill in the air, out of town guests for Balloon Fiesta and the promise of spooky delights, there's no better time to dive headfirst into the narratives of the New Mexico Escape Room. Our immersive puzzles are designed to transform you and teammates into detectives, duelers, tomb robbers, criminal syndicate masterminds, haunted manor explorers, or trusty sidekicks aiding a superhero. But what if we told you that you could take your adventure to the next level by dressing the part? This October, we suggest adding a touch of theatrical flair to your escape room experience with carefully curated costume ideas, ranging from accessories to full ensembles. Not only will these costumes enhance your escape room adventure but they’ll also infuse it with an extra dose of October magic.

Incorporating these costumes or ideas of your own into your escape room adventure can elevate the overall experience, infusing it with immersion and excitement.

Plus, it's a fantastic way to break the ice with your fellow adventurers and add an extra layer of fun to the challenge.
However, keep in mind the key to a successful escape room costume is to strike a balance between authenticity and practicality. You want to be able to move freely and work with your team effectively, so choose costumes that allow for both. With the right attire, you'll be ready to tackle any escape room adventure and create memories that will stay with you long after October has passed. So, don your best costume and prepare for an unforgettable escape room experience!
