Creatures on the Loose! Escape Room in a briefcase

Ten terrible creatures, each from an alternate dimension, have been let loose to wreak havoc on our town. The culprit's identity and motives are unknown. Hunters have been on the case, snooping around town and collecting evidence. But they too have vanished, leaving just their locked briefcases behind. You will need to break into the briefcase, find the creatures, and figure out who is causing all this mayhem.

Inside the briefcase you will find all the tools you need to solve the mystery, including (but not limited to): a newspaper, a magic wand, a bible, a calculator, a wallet of money, a pile of stocks, a Wonka bar, a leather strap, a code wheel, a map, and an enigmatic computer.

You can think of the briefcase as an entire escape room packed into a box and delivered to you. It can work for groups as small as 5 and as large as 70.

Players will be broken up into teams of 5-10. A team of 8 people can usually solve the game in two hours. (Fewer people = longer game.) Best of all, every team will get to play the entire game.

I build my games to cultivate:

• Teamwork. Success requires combining different strengths. Some teammates might excel at codes while others spot visual patterns or are skilled at organizing information.
• Communication. Open communication helps teams uncover patterns and connections that might seem impossible at first glance.
• Leadership. A designated leader who can oversee the big picture and coordinate the team's efforts is often the difference between success and struggle.
• Pattern recognition. Behind every puzzle lies a clever pattern that, once spotted, transforms seemingly random elements into clear solutions.
