Nick of Time Escapes

Had a great time. Did it for a friend's 53rd birthday. Staff was super friendly. Highly recommend.

I had the great pleasure of visiting Nick of Time Escapes this week! I took a group of students on a field trip out here, and I can't speak highly enough about the experience.

Where to begin?
First, let's talk about Celeste at Swain! What a fantastic person friendly and helpful on the phone when we discussed the plans. Lovely in person, and very helpful through the experience. Hannah, one of the hosts of the escape room was kind too, and I must admit patient with my group of teenage boys. Thank you again for that!
The rooms themselves are well done and the stories are interesting. I personally recommend the Hairy Women of Klipnocky - the rooms are not only entertaining puzzles, but really, they are work of art and engineering. I love how they have built the rooms so well! Of all the escape rooms I've done, this was by far the most high-tech and engaging one I've experienced.
I think that having an escape room at a ski resort is a perfect idea. You can have people come prior to ski season (like we did), but I imagine that this is a great option for other things to do at the center when you need a break from the slopes, or you have a non-skier in the mix. The drive from Rochester is a little long to make it an easy destination, but I think it is a great destination none-the-less.
Overall, my students had a good time, I probably had a better time, but all in all I appreciated the opportunity to do some team-building and get our brains working!
Thanks again to Celeste and Hannah who made our experience a great one!

Yelpers, I highly recommend this place, so make sure you check it out when you're able!
