Summer is a season full of vacations, beach days, and for families to come together and enjoy some of our favorite holidays and catch up from a long winter. They travel from near and far to gather, reconnect, and create new memories! One of the best ways to forge new memories is through interactive and hands-on activities. While you could sit around watching TV or playing Go-Fish, that doesn’t sound like the most riveting way to pass the time. Aunt Betty can’t go downhill skiing, and Uncle Steve is still grumbling about last year’s paintball fiasco and blaming you for the arthritis in his hip from where you shot him three times.

“My name is Steve, and I am an escape room addict.” I have not been able to find a 12 step meeting, so I am back at Escape Frenzy indulging and perpetuating my addiction. The staff here are supportive and are trying to reassure me that everyone has their faults and that it’s OK to be human. My spiral into escape room addiction was rapid and only started a year and a half ago here at Escape Frenzy. I used to be an average everyday guy; job, home, family, the usual.

All of this is enough to question our sanity about living here in Minnesota! Come this time of year most people are feeling stir crazy and have the fever for spring to arrive.
