The design of a great escape room is 50% science, 50% art, and 10% prayer.  Yes, those equal 110%...but that’s what it takes to design a GREAT escape room…a little extra to go from good to great.  We started in the escape room business because we love escape rooms.  We have a passion for escape rooms and play other rooms as often as possible.  I’d say we’re escape room customers as much as escape room owners and that’s why we have a passion for providing GREAT escape rooms and refuse to provide anything less.

Creating, building, and maintaining a great escape room takes the collaboration of many skilled people.  The conception of our newest room, THE GATE, took a village of highly skilled professionals to get it done.   In our case, delivery of a world-class room required:

·         Enigmatology (Puzzle design)
·         Storytelling expertise
·         Production
·         Set Design
·         Special Effects
·         Engineering
·         Audio
·         Carpentry
·         Lighting
·         Electrical
·         Software programming
·         Audio/Visual installation
·         Project management
·         Quality management

and

·         Yoda-like patience


In the end, everything needs to come together to provide a holistic creation that’s engaging, immersive, and generally awesome.   The result should equal more than the sum of its parts.  Players need to leave with an adrenaline inspired smile on their face. 

As with most things in life, nothing special comes easy.  We look for the finest partners to collaborate on our room design to help ensure a world-class product.  The best designs and the best people make it happen.  We decided to partner with our friends at Themescape Escape Rooms and Algorythym Designs again to build our latest room, THE GATE. 

The Escape Room market has grown a crazy amount over the last couple of years.  With volume, comes a lot of different philosophies on room design.  Some are good, some not so good, some just different.  Regardless, room design is the most important responsibility of an escape room owner.  We do our absolute best to provide a world-class product.

Come experience the results for yourself.  Excellence…it’s an everyday journey…not a destination.  Check out more about THE GATE.

There’s a lot to do on a Jupiter, FL vacation.  You can take the family to one of Jupiter’s great beaches such as picturesque Dubois Park, or paddle along the scenic byways of Loxahatchee River.  It’s no wonder Costal Living magazine named Jupiter one of the Top 10 Happiest Seaside Towns.  It’s a great place to escape the hectic pace of everyday life and spend some quality time with the family.  Don’t forget to visit Roger Dean Stadium in February and March to catch spring training with the St. Louis Cardinals and Florida Marlins.  It’s a real treat. 

While outdoor activities make up the majority of Jupiter’s attractions, there are plenty of other family-focused activities to thrill both you and the kids.  We’re a little biased obviously, but we think an escape room adventure makes the perfect family vacation treat.  

Here’s why: 

Our escape rooms are CRAZY fun.  Will to Escape - Escape Rooms in Jupiter, FL offer the most immersive rooms in town.  You’ll feel like you’ve been transported to an alternate reality for 60 minutes!  The kids will talk about the escape room adventure together for years to come. 

Phone Free Zone.  Let’s face it.  Down-time should include some personal interaction between family members.  Escape rooms are an opportunity for everyone to break away from the technology leash and interact with each other. 

Family Teamwork.  Escape Rooms require team work and collaboration.  A family that plays together has more fun!  Take a break from the everyday rush and have some fun as a group.  Working as a team to solve an escape room challenge is a rewarding family experience!  Refresh those family bonds with an escape room adventure. 

Plus Will to Escape is conveniently located in Abacoa Center, across the street from Roger Dean Stadium and a great selection of bars and restaurants where you can turn your escape room adventure into a full day out with the family.  Give us a call at 561-ESCAPES or make an online reservation at www.willtoescape.com.

Teamwork is an important part of the family dynamic.  Family members often count on each other to get through the day-to-day demands of life.  Each person provides a different skillset or outlook to the family entity that strengthens the whole. 

But in today’s fast-paced and technology driven world, the team focus can become fragmented.  Busy schedules, personal devices, and on-demand technology platforms often challenge the team-based dynamic.  Such changes often happen slowly without even being noticed. 

The good news? 

You can do something about it and reinforce the fun and value of working as a team. A family escape room activity could be one of many activities to strengthen the team bonds.  Escape rooms inherently require a team-based effort to be successful.  Escape room participants working as individuals will not succeed.  You can even assign ‘roles’ to each family member to provide some structure.

Team Leaders:  Organize the effort and provide group direction

Analysts:  Collect the information and clues to solve the challenges

Scouts:  Push forward and search for new and missed clues 
​
Timer:  Keep the team moving and aware of the time available

An escape room adventure can be a great event to remind family members of the fun they can have together.  Nothing beats shared fun with family.  You’ve accomplished something great when you successfully complete an escape room challenge together.  You may even start a new escape room tradition!

Will to Escape is a live-action, immersive escape room provider located in Downtown Abacoa.  They offer three adventure-based rooms with incredible sets that will have you transported to an alternate reality in seconds.  See more about their rooms here.

First, thank you for a fantastic first three months.  We couldn’t have done it without you.

We set out to create the best escape rooms in South Florida and after months of hard work, we felt the mission was accomplished.  But that was only our opinion…and frankly…it didn’t mean much without the approval of our customers and new escape room friends.  Thankfully, it seems we hit the mark…look at the response we’ve gotten

“HOLY ESCAPE ROOM BATMAN! This is BY FAR the best escape room experience I've had in South Florida. All of the rooms here are unique and true to the theme they portray. You can see the heart that went into this place and the owners are just as passionate about escape rooms as the people playing them. The entire staff is welcoming, joyful and ready to serve. 10/10 would recommend! Bring the family! Bring the coworkers! Test your boyfriends patience like I did by being super bossy JUST COME AND SEE IT FOR YOURSELF.”

What Makes the Best Escape Room in Jupiter, FL?
 
Escape rooms have become a popular social activity across the country since their U.S. introduction in 2014.  Today, you’ll find an escape room offering in most every major city in the U.S.  In fact, most cities have multiple offerings that provide consumers with a choice of escape room options.  With such volume comes different types of designs and different quality of rooms.  Thankfully, great escape rooms have a few common traits that are good to understand.  Here are a couple of key characteristics of great rooms:    
  
Engaging Story
Exceptional escape rooms begin with a well-developed and engaging story.  The story needs to capture the imagination and interest of the player group.  This allows the storyline to develop.  An engaging story will make 60 minutes feel like 10 minutes.  A shallow story will make the first 10 minutes fell like an hour.

Good Flow
A story must have good flow in the design.  The puzzles, challenges, and brain teasers must have a chemistry that brings everything together.  Additionally, the story flow must continue to build and advance from one challenge to another without any interruption. It needs to feel like one integrated masterpiece rather multiple events running in parallel.

Immersiveness
A good escape room offering will let your imagination take part in the story, a GREAT escape room lets you live the experience in an alternate reality.  An immersive experience provides an escape from the everyday that brings live-action excitement and adventure to the table.  An immersive presentation requires more work and expense in room design but is well worth the effort to provide the optimal player experience.

Game Master Capabilities
Escape rooms are supposed to be challenging.  It’s the challenge that makes them exciting and rewarding…but with challenge comes difficulty.  There will come a time when you’ll need some help or a little clue to keep the game moving.  This is where the Game Master steps in and provides you that life line. It takes a skilled and attentive game master to decide when to provide assistance and how much assistance is needed.  Help that is too little or too late will create frustration.  Help that is too much or too often will make the challenge too easy.  Escape rooms that invest in capable employees and staff training will provide the best experience for you and your team.

Room Maintenance
Let’s face it…things break.  Many of the premier rooms leverage advanced technology to provide the optimal player experience.  As such, escape rooms face the risk of breakdowns due to use, abuse, or malfunction.  The need for top-notch, dutiful maintenance increases with room complexity and technology use.   Escape rooms that incorporate detailed maintenance schedules will provide the best experience for you and your team.

Will to Escape has focused on these important needs for the start.  You can count on us to provide the best Escape Room experience in Jupiter and South Florida.  Please check us out at www.willtoescape.com and reserve your next Escape Room adventure!
