Real-life escape rooms are a new concept and Urban Escape Games developed the first game in Georgia. They design all of their games in house with the immersive technology and themed to a story. Upon arrival, there will be seating for everyone to watch a briefing video. Once in the game room, you watch a video to immerse yourself into the storyline. Then the countdown clock starts and your team has one hour to find clues, solve puzzles, crack codes, and investigate everything to make it out in time! It is great team builder for companies. Their most recent addition is a Conference Escape Game where they come to your office, hotel or conference center, hosting groups from 50 to 2,500.
