Initial Puzzle of Escape Room Makes You Convince Friends to Do Escape Room

Tags

AUGUSTA, Ga. β€” Local man Todd Glancy, looking to do something a little different for his birthday this year, reportedly ran into the first puzzle of escape rooms: convincing others to do an escape room.

β€œI know plenty of people that like to do puzzles,” Glancy said unconvincingly. β€œI just didn’t realize how difficult it was to wrangle five or more of them together on a Thursday night with only two hours notice. This room was rated a three-star difficulty, but this puzzle is a full five stars!”

Glancy successfully got others to join him on at least one other occasion. Co-workers from his day job gathered for a pirate-themed escape room three years ago, convinced that it would be β€œa great team-building exercise.” Many of those co-workers stopped speaking to him after.

β€œI had to deal with a lot of people saying I only brought them to the escape room to show off how good I am at puzzles,” Glancy explained. β€œBut if that’s the case, why were none of them impressed that I knew there had to be something drawn on the walls in blacklight paint?”

Glancy did end up finding a group to go with him, but they were unsuccessful after Glancy spent the majority of the room hoarding all of the keys to himself.
