THE BASICS
An escape room is a physical adventure game in which players solve a series of puzzles using clues, hints and strategy to complete the objectives at hand. Although escape rooms generally have a set amount of time, there will be no clock here. Be prepared to use your wits and ingenuity - this will not be a quick park and grab.
THE STORY
As the wind blows across your face, like a harsh slap of truth, you ponder your options. On one hand, you can attempt an escape over the cliff. You peer over the edge into the void, and although you can see a river in the distance, you decide the risk is perilous. Toward the North is the enemy, rapidly approaching. Charging in that direction would certainly result in a swift capture - and your soul does not fancy a locked cell for eternity. If only there was another way... if only there was another option of escape. Think quickly - maybe there is!
THE RULES
- This geocache requires a time commitment. Be prepared to spend at least an hour at ground zero. It may take you less... it may take you more.
- Ground zero is within 50 feet of a steep drop-off with a river nearby - hence the terrain rating.
- I will provide everything you need to escape. Do not bring any "tools of the trade" to assist you; except, perhaps, something to take notes with.
- Everything I provide serves some kind of purpose. There shouldn't be any red herrings.
- Don't remove any zip ties or try to unfasten items that are secured to the ground. Doing so may help you escape more quickly, but cheating isn't any fun =).
- Don't force anything. If the amount of pressure seems like it is going to break something then you are applying too much pressure. If you do break something, please just let me know so I can go fix it. I will forgive you!
- When you are done you will be responsible for resetting the room (instructions are provided, toward the end of your escape, at ground zero).
- You are welcome to call or text me in the field. My mobile number is 817-681-3004.
- Don't attempt at night - not only will it be uber-challenging, but it might freak out my neighbors if you are waving flashlights out there in the dark.
- Survey your surroundings when you reach ground zero. Items you need may be in the next tree over.
- Using your mobile phone is allowed if you get stumped on one of the puzzles.
- Sorry about all the rules - remember to Have Fun!!!
