The concept of an escape room is simple: challengers are locked in a room and need to discover clues, solve puzzles, and accomplish tasks in a set amount of time in order to escape from the room. No Escape Iowa offers three levels for challengers: easy, moderate, and hard.
Jon Wilson, Manager of No Escape Iowa, not only runs the Ames location but is a connoisseur of the craft, having completed nearly 150 escape rooms from across the country. “When I visit another city, it’s nearly always one of the things that I do when I’m there.”
No Escape Iowa currently has four rooms, each original to Ames. The business has been located in Downtown Ames for nearly 5 years and has two more rooms under construction. The rooms are family-friendly, said Wilson. “We see a lot of families come through and book the rooms for birthday parties or other celebrations.”
If you have what it takes, think again. The success rate of escaping the room in the allotted hour is just under 50%. The most difficult room, “Game On,” has a record of 46 minutes, 26 seconds. Book your adventure to No Escape Iowa online.
