America's Escape Game Featured in Franchise Times
Orlando, FL (PRWEB) March 07, 2017 -- America's Escape Game is proud to have been featured in a recent article by Franchise Times, which called America's Escape Game "one of the handful of franchised escape rooms and among the most polished in the nascent industry.”
Jim Llewellyn and Alex Reece are the founders of America’s Escape Game, one of the handful of franchised escape rooms and among the most polished in the nascent industry. Of course polish is subjective, but when the Orlando Business Journal named them one of the top attractions in Orlando, it put the strip-mall location in contention with some of the biggest global names in entertainment.
So what is an escape room? For the uninitiated, it’s essentially a big room you pay to get into and hope you’re smart enough to get out of. Getting out involves puzzles, word games and logic. A little fearless curiosity that keeps you from saying, “No, I don’t want to stick my hand into that dark hole” helps too.
Each room is filled with thematic props and everything could be a piece of the puzzle. Does that gas mask hold a hidden key? Is there a code within the map? How can the hieroglyphics help us escape?
The craze started in Japan in 2007, and since then has grown to more than 1,800 units worldwide. Reece and Llewellyn founded America’s Escape Game in 2015 with three rooms and a small staff, adding two rooms in 2016 and are working on another for this year. And while the business has grown to now two locations and a licensed operation with Marriott, they’ve been honing the systems behind the scenes.
