Escape rooms are now found in cities across the world. They make a great activity for a small group of friends but their size and location limits the appeal for many corporate groups.
“A man provided with paper, pencil, and rubber, and subject to strict discipline, is in effect a universal machine.”

Assemble – Correctly interlock a 3D puzzle.
Circus – Juggle, plate spin and even unicycle out of the locked room.
