Hour To Exit, a new escape room experience, recently opened in New Rochelle.
Co-owners Duanne Sequira and Brittney Coleman began their escape room experience two years ago in New York City, when they felt the excitement of the adrenaline rush to get out of a jail cell. They then began to create their own interactive spaces and now have close to 100 games played between the two of them.
Coleman said that each room has a different level of difficulty and a different look, but the objective of all the rooms is to crack the codes of the mission before the limit expires. A team of two to eight people enters each themed room. A game master greets the team and describes the scenario and the objective of the room. The countdown begins, and members of the team need to work together to piece together clues scattered throughout the room.
There are three themes in Hour To Exit—a spooky magic theme, a Pandora’s box theme, and a rotating-theme room. In keeping with the holiday season, this last room is called ‘Save Christmas’. They are working on a multi-player virtual reality game.
Banner printing companies can be hired to create displays throughout the city so that people will become aware of such ongoing leisure activities as this.
