The Darkness / Mini Golf / Escape Room Tour 2021

[drfrightner]

We had to stop working on Wizard for a while but we'll be back on it Thursday. We're getting closer on the wizards control room, and the moving floor for the first scene is finally ready to go.

We're trying or going to try like hell to get this thing opened by Valentine day.

Larry,

How long does it typically take you to complete renovations, how much do you spend and how many on the crew to complete?

We're working on Terror Visions as well... everything is moving along!

Everything is looking amazing! Enjoy seeing the posted updates! Looking forward to the tours in March!

So today we finally started wiring up the new 5 minute COFFIN ESCAPE ROOM. We're going to be playing it by Friday.

I wanted to mention this because I know people think I can sell unlimited tickets to everything because I'm just in this for the money. FALSE!

I learned some hard lessons the first year... everything is limited so no one complains, gets inspired, has a great time and learns something from the experience.

The 5 minute escape room only has the ability across 3 hours to do 150 guests. Once they're sold you can't play the game. So if you know you're coming to our Darkness live tour and you want to play the 5 minute escape get the tickets NOW!

So here is some background... everyone gets locked into a coffin, each person works together to escape their coffin then solve one final puzzle.

Couple things here... first take a look at our coffin escape rooms that is still being worked on. It will be a four player game. This will be ready for Transworld. We can only have 150 players on Saturday of the Transworld show. So if you want to play this 5 minute escape rooms buy your tickets for Darkness live tour and add on the escape room. Once 150 people buy the 5 minute escape room we can't add anymore.

Also we're building a new SPIDER Scene... yes just one more scene we're building. In total there is a new SNAKE scene downtown, Spider scene downstairs, Skull Witch downstairs, new black maze downstairs, and we've totally changed FOUR other scenes downstairs. In total downstairs ALONE will have 4 brand new built from scratch new scenes, and FOUR other scenes totally upgraded.
