Entertainment Enigma Of The Month: National Treasure
Get some popcorn, and get ready to enjoy this action-packed adventure! National Treasure was released in November 2004, and follows the story of cryptologist Benjamin Gates, and his incredible quest for lost treasure. Escape room fans are sure to appreciate the use of clues and riddles, and relish watching as each solved puzzle gets the protagonist a step closer to pursuing the treasure! We loved it so much, that we featured this expedition of epic proportions in our article about movies to watch before playing an escape room.

Perplexing Puzzler Of The Month: Box One
Box Two was released in November of last year, with mixed reviews. But if you haven’t yet discovered the secrets within the first version, Box One, we highly recommend you find out for yourself what makes it so special. We already wrote a full review on this incredible game here, but it does contain spoilers. So if you haven’t played it yet, we suggest you go in blind, because there is no better way to play, than to experience it without any prior knowledge of what’s in store!

Gaming Get-Together Of The Month: MIT Mystery Heist
Any puzzle person worth their salt knows about the MIT Mystery Hunt, but how about the MIT Mystery Heist? It’s made up of 12 puzzles, and acts as a warm up for January’s more complex challenge. While the plot is a precursor to MIT Mystery Hunt, don’t worry, it does not contain any spoilers, content, or answers related to it. It’s just a fun bonus addition, for those who need their fix of puzzle-packed fun!

Obscure Occasion Of The Month: Repair Done Right Month
When you work in an escape room, repairs are a regular occurrence. With so many teams, tackling tasks against the clock each and every day, you can probably imagine how the set pieces and props get a lot of wear and tear. Set maintenance is a super important part of what we do at The Escape Effect, so this month is a great celebration of what we believe in…repair done right!

Make like Sherlock, and get solving this set of 12 puzzle postcards, available exclusively at The Escape Effect. You’ll follow the man himself on his Orlando vacation, and encounter a series of conundrums along the way. On the reverse side of these entertaining riddle-filled cards, you’ll find a blank space for your own message. Just pop on a stamp, and post them to a puzzle-loving friend, they’ll love receiving a fun surprise through the mail, rather than another dreaded bill!
