GTFO Escapes

Honest reviews of escape rooms. No sugar-coating, just the unvarnished truth sprinkled with unhinged humor.

The Office

Although this room is closed, The Office over at Time Escapes Loveland is one of my favorite rooms in the greater Denver area. I'll be joined by fellow The Office lover, Brandon, as we try to stop the Assistant to the Regional Manager of a small paper company in Scranton, PA as he's gone rogue. Our team will need to break into the office in the middle of the night to uncover his plan to put an end to this nonsense. However, the security guard has accidentally locked us in and he's gone home for the night. We will have to find the most iconic items from The Office to escape and stop the Assistant to the Regional Manager from meeting with Corporate in New York in the morning.Join ⁠⁠⁠Morty⁠⁠⁠ to track your escape rooms and decide which ones to do next!

Mogollon Monster

It’s a stormy summer night at a Monster Rangers campsite on the Mogollon Rim. A group of young Rangers spotted the elusive Mogollon Monster strolling through camp just hours ago. The Stompy Patrol at Campsite 13 has been eagerly preparing for the opportunity to capture photographic evidence of the monster’s existence. But out of an abundance of caution, they’ve been evacuated to a safe location. Now it’s up to you. Uncover the rangers’ secrets to lure the monster into the campsite and get the photo before the authorities arrive at midnight to shut the camp down.Join ⁠⁠⁠Morty⁠⁠⁠ to track your escape rooms and decide which ones to do next!
