Overview

Escape The Room Challenge is a real-life room escape experience located in West Chester, Ohio. Currently, Escape The Room Challenge features two escape rooms, with the ability to add an additional two room in the future. The two rooms currently featured are Esmeralda's Curse and Escape The Mob.

History

Don Oeters, a successful businessman and owner of EnterTRAINment Junction, first heard about the concept of an escape room from his daughter Michelle. While traveling in Europe, she heard about the escape rooms there and told her father about this new form of entertainment. Oeters owned a small building near his EnterTRAINment Junction property and was looking for a use for it. He realized that a live escape room would be an excellent use of the property.

Oeters utilized several of the talents that he had employed for EnterTRAINment Junction for creative and technical input, including Danny Craven - a well-known local costumer, designer, and set builder - to help create and write the escape room experiences. After several months of testing, research and development, and construction, Escape The Room Challenge opened to the public in April of 2015.

Rooms

Esmeralda's Curse

Esmeralda's Curse was one of the two initial rooms opened with Escape The Room Challenge in April of 2015. It is currently rated as a 4 out of 4 in difficulty.

The storyline goes as follows: "Legend has it that Madame Rosa was the greatest fortune teller in a century. One day a stranger visited and she peered into the darkest of souls. Angered by the meeting, the stranger killed Madame Rosa. Because of her foresight, Madame Rosa knew she could not avoid her fate, but to gain her revenge she set a trap to steal her murder's soul. Unfortunately for Madame Rosa, the killer avoided the trap. Unfortunately for you, you just walked into it."

Escape The Mob

Escape The Mob was the second room to open with Escape The Room Challenge in April 2015. It is currently rated as a 2 out of 4 in difficulty.

The storyline is as follows: It’s been in all the papers! Someone has been stealing expensive works of art. Rumor is that the Giganti Family is involved. Usually you are not interested in the news but now it seems a small statue, which has been in your family for hundreds of years, which you have loaned to the museum, is missing! Taken by the mob! A friend tells you that “word on the street” is that the stolen art is loaded in a truck at an old warehouse. Upon going to the warehouse, you find it unguarded. You and your friends decide to go in, and upon entering, you trip a silent alarm. The Giganti Family is one hour across town. You and your friends have one hour to enter the room, retrieve the priceless artifact, and get out before the mob shows up and you disappear.

Double Agent Dilemma

Double Agent Dilemma is the third room in Escape The Room Challenge. Nothing has been announced about this room, however it is set to open sometime in the Fall of 2015.

"Fourth Room"

Escape The Room Challenge will house a fourth room, however the name and theme have not been announced. It will open in 2016.
