Game Master

I’m Tyler and I’ve been at Escapetown since March of 2022. I decided to be a game master because I thoroughly enjoy games and puzzles, as well as seeing other peoples thought process as they play them. I enjoy all things baseball and someday hope to visit every stadium across the country. My dog (stalking you through the left window) is my pride and joy, and while he looks big, he’s just a big softie. Hope to see you around Escapetown soon!

Game Master

Hi, I’m Tristan and I have been working at Escape Town Peoria since June of 2023. Besides working here all I really do is wrestle for Dunlap High School and kickbox, which will explain why I’ll probably come to work with a bruise or two, and also why I’m not very good at escape rooms myself, but I love running them and meeting new people that are way smarter than me.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we need any special skills or knowledge to play an escape room?

No special skills or prior knowledge are required to play an escape room. The puzzles and challenges are designed to be solvable through teamwork, critical thinking, and communication. Each member of the team can contribute in their own way, and diversity in skills and perspectives often enhances the overall experience. Escape rooms are meant to be enjoyable and accessible to players of all backgrounds and abilities.

Are escape rooms suitable for children?

The suitability of escape rooms for children depends on factors such as the theme, difficulty level, and scare factor of the room. Some escape rooms are designed specifically for families and children, offering age-appropriate puzzles and themes. It’s essential to read the room description or ask us beforehand to determine if the room is suitable for children and what age recommendations we may have.

What safety measures are in place in escape rooms?

We prioritize the safety of our participants and have several safety measures in place. These may include emergency exits clearly marked within the room, surveillance cameras monitored by staff, and emergency stop buttons that immediately pause the game if needed. Additionally, staff members are trained to provide guidance and assistance in case of emergencies. Before starting the game, participants are briefed on safety procedures and rules to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
