\"escape\"<\/a>By Kayla Samek\u2014Most people would not consider being locked in a room for an hour to be a \u201cfun\u201d experience, however, the growing trend of \u201cescape rooms\u201d provides that experience for those seeking adventure. The Greatest Escape is Sioux City\u2019s newest attraction.<\/p>\n

An escape room is an activity where teams, generally between four to eight people, are locked in a room and must find clues and solve puzzles to escape within the hour time limit. Sioux City\u2019s escape room, the Greatest Escape, opened its doors on April 2nd<\/sup> and has attract thrill-seekers and novices alike.<\/p>\n

Located at 2540 Glenn Ave., it offers three themed rooms and three unique experiences: The Rabbit Hole, The Hostage, and The Pirate Ship. It is open Monday through Saturday, at varying times, so check their website<\/a> or Facebook Page<\/a> for details.<\/p>\n

Though it may seem terrifying for some to be locked in a room, the staff constantly monitor the participants through cameras and walkie-talkies, to ensure that the groups feel safe and are enjoying the experience. The staff will provide clues if a group seems stuck or asks for help.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for adventure or an alternative to going to the movies, The Greatest Escape is a great option for you\u2014though the price is 25 dollars a person, which seems reasonable for such a unique experience, having done The Hostage room myself.<\/p>\n

My team made it out with just a minute to spare. I don\u2019t want to give too much away, but every time we solved a puzzle, we felt like super spies. There were surprises and unexpected twists, and you could not ignore a single detail. After the feeling of accomplishment wore off, I was impressed by the amount of work the staff put into the room, clues, and the puzzles.<\/p>\n

I am looking forward to trying the other two rooms in the future. The Greatest Escape is a challenging and rewarding exercise for your brain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
