"7"^^ . "3"^^ . . "The No1DP and I did this activity for our one-year anniversary. We also did this just by ourselves because the other party in our group was late and couldn't make the scheduled time. \n\nCAB FARE: ~$11 from the Cromwell.\n\nThough located off-Strip, this is less than a 10 minute drive from the Strip itself using side streets. As with off-Strip locations, it could take a half an hour from the business placing a call to the cabs to get a cab ride again. \n\nThe owner and his employee were quite nice. He wanted to adapt a concept like this from his native Hungary to the US. It's the fourth establishment like this to be opened.\n\nThe concept (if you haven't done something like this before) is that your group is trapped in a room for an hour. Using clues scattered about the room, you are encouraged to put together the clues to help your group escape the room. Rooms have a certain theme and difficulty. If your group manages to get out you can have your picture taken with your time remaining. If your group does not manage to get out, you can be told the solution or try again. Like other games you are allowed ONE hint (verbal), though employees can monitor the situation and help out as needed.\n\nWe decided to do the Trap Room of medium difficulty as it is offered at the even times (2pm, 4pm). Though offered for a smaller group consisting of 4-6 people, the No1DP and I got out with a little more than 11 minutes to spare. We were given some hints but they weren't obvious. The room is intentionally (and deceptively) simple so that the people wouldn't get TOO distracted by their surroundings. Apparently more couples are choosing to do these rooms for date night.\n\nTheir other room, the Sherlock Room is of harder difficulty and is offered at the odd times (1pm, 3pm). The owner changes the rooms every 4-6 months.\n\nThe No1DP and I had a fun time and I look forward to trying more real escape games wherever we are."^^ . . "4"^^ . "5"^^ . "2014-09-23T00:00:00"^^ . .
